15. Orlando Magic – Kira Lewis, Guard, Alabama

The Minnesota Timberwolves need another guard to add to their offense-heavy rotation. Maxey is a player that can provide two-way ability as soon as he steps on the court. He has excellent playmaking ability along with shooting upside.

Maxey also brings a lot as a facilitator and should be able to play either guard position. He is an excellent fit for both Malik Beasley and D’Angelo Russell. Maxey is also a high-level pick-and-roll player and should easily mesh with Karl-Anthony Towns.

Jalen Smith is a big man that has two elite traits: shooting and interior defense. The Minnesota Timberwolves need both. Smith should be able to play alongside Karl-Anthony Towns seamlessly, whether it be in the rotation or as an eventual starter.
