27. Charlotte Hornets (via Denver Nuggets) – Colby Jones, G, Xavier
Looking for a more experienced and veteran prospect late in the first round, the Charlotte Hornets could look to take a chance on Colby Jones. He played three seasons at Xavier and was highly productive during his final two years, showing true signs of development and progress.
Jones ended his collegiate career by averaging 15 points, six rebounds, and four assists per game on 51 percent shooting from the field and 38 percent shooting from 3-point range.
28. Utah Jazz (via Philadelphia 76ers) – Sidy Cissoko, G, G League Ignite
Sidy Cissoko is another prospect to keep an eye on leading up to the NBA Draft. He spent this past season playing for the G League Ignite and showed some real flashes, specifically on the defensive end of the floor. As is the case for many prospects being selected at this point in the draft, his shooting is still something that needs to be worked on.
However, Cissoko has the potential, athleticism, size, and length that would make him a potential first-round pick in this year’s draft class.
