Alexandre Sarr
Perth Wildcats (Australia) | Position: F/C | Height: 7-1
Status: International
An impact player on defense who’s been growing into a larger role at the other end. Should offer immediate complementary help with the potential for more.
Zaccharie Risacher
JL Bourg-en-Bresse (France) | Position: G/F | Height: 6-8
Status: International
Looks the part and has all the two-way ability to deliver on that potential. The floor is high, but so is the ceiling. What will he reach?
Nikola Topic
KK Crvena Zvezda (Serbia) | Position: G | Height: 6-6
Status: International
A tall guard with a deft passing touch and the ability to create opportunities for himself and others, the upside play here is a bet that the outside shot comes around.
Reed Sheppard
Kentucky | Position: G | Height: 6-3
Status: Freshman
Sharpshooting and award-winning freshman for the Wildcats, who elevated right on up the Draft boards, especially given the open field.
Donovan Clingan
Connecticut | Position: C | Height: 7-2
Status: Sophomore
A defensive anchor for the back-to-back NCAA champs, and should provide a steadying presence once he’s adjusted to the pro game. The offensive potential is there.
Stephon Castle
Connecticut | Position: G | Height: 6-6
Status: Freshman
Will do what needs to be done, whatever it is, whichever end of the floor. A move on the ball could unlock another level.
Matas Buzelis
G League Ignite | Position: F | Height: 6-8
Status: G League
Big forward with a shooting touch that escaped him in a single season playing for Ignite. Its return could deliver a big win later than expected in this Draft.
Robert Dillingham
Kentucky | Position: G | Height: 6-3
Status: Freshman
The shooting is there, and he’s a certified bucket. But the size limitations kick in when playmaking isn’t the thing, which means adjust or overcome.
Ron Holland
G League Ignite | Position: F | Height: 6-6
Status: G League
Athletic and explosive swingman who held his own in the G League, even as turnover problems and shooting woes put a cap on his game.
Dalton Knecht
Tennessee | Position: G/F | Height: 6-6
Status: Senior
Capitalized on a transfer to Tennessee, putting up 25-plus points while scoring all kinds of ways, but especially from deep. The seasoned transition could be smoother than most.
