21. Brooklyn Nets (via Phoenix Suns) – Leonard Miller, G, G League Ignite
With back-to-back first-round picks, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that the Brooklyn Nets could decide to trade up in the first round. Especially if there’s a player that they really like either late in the lottery or in the teens. If they do stay with these two picks, the Nets will be able to take two shots in the dark on potential.
With this first pick, Leonard Miller is the type of high-ceiling prospect that could make sense for the Nets. With as much uncertainty that revolves around the Nets heading into the summer, taking at least one big swing in the NBA Draft is almost a given. Miller could be that player at No. 21.
22. Brooklyn Nets – Kris Murray, F, Iowa
Kris Murray is another player that will get consideration in the first round. Coming off an incredibly productive season at Iowa, Murray has the potential to be a contributor right away. He’s also one of the more experienced prospects in this year’s NBA Draft class.
He may not be as good of a prospect (or as polished as one) as his brother, but there’s an outside chance that Murray ends up being a good scorer off the bench.
