15. Atlanta Hawks – Gradey Dick, G, Kansas
Despite a great freshman season at Kansas, Gradey Dick’s stock seems to be dropping a bit as of late. That said, all it takes is for one team to want to take him in the lottery. And if one emerges, it would not be surprising if he was taken that high.
If he does fall out of the lottery, he shouldn’t last very long. In fact, I believe that the Atlanta Hawks should jump at the opportunity to take him at No. 15 if he’s available. With as much uncertainty that revolves around the Hawks, it wouldn’t hurt them to have another high-level wing scorer on the roster.
16. Utah Jazz (via Minnesota) – Brice Sensabaugh, G, Ohio State
At least in my opinion, Brice Sensabaugh is one of the more interesting prospects that could be selected outside the lottery. With the possibility that the Utah Jazz could elect to move on from Jordan Clarkson this season, there’s a case to be made that Sensabaugh makes sense for the Jazz at No. 16.
Sensabaugh is a natural scorer of the basketball that is still improving as a prospect. In the right situation, he could blossom in a year or two.
