NBA Mock Draft: Raptors trade into top 3; Heat land star in blockbuster move

27. Charlotte Hornets – Leonard Miller, F, G League

For a team that will likely still be looking for help in the frontcourt even after the addition of Brandon Miller, Leonard Miller could be of interest to the Charlotte Hornets. As one of the youngest players in this NBA Draft, Miller is a 6-foot-9 forward with a guard-like skill set. And he was extremely productive – averaging 18 points and 11 rebounds – in the G League this past season.

He may not have the star power that some of the other prospects in this draft class possess, but he’s an intriguing player that should be selected in the first round. He has the chance to be a steal of the draft and the Hornets should take a flier on him late in the first round.

28. Utah Jazz – Kris Murray, F, Iowa

With another first-round pick, perhaps the Utah Jazz would be willing to take a shot on 3-and-D wing prospect Kris Murray, the twin brother of Keegan (who was drafted in the top 5 of last year’s NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings).

Kris made huge strides in his development this past season for Iowa and emerged as one of the highest-scoring players in college basketball. There’s no guarantee that he’ll be a difference-making rotation player right away, but he does have an enticing skill set that could theoretically help a team.
