Players 36-40
36. Skylar Mays, Guard, LSU
37. Ashton Hagans, Guard, Kentucky
38. Isaiah Stewart, Big, Washington
39. Zeke Nnaji, Big, Arizona
40. Malachi Flynn, Guard, San Diego State
Skylar Mays brings one of the best overall offensive packages in this draft class. He has high-level shooting, passing, and is very smart both on and off-ball. The defense is another story, but if Mays lands on the right team, he could become a Malcolm Brogdon-esque player.
Ashton Hagans does not get as much love as he should. He’s a two-way guard that is great at passing and getting to the rim. He’s quick and a plus defender. Hagans can struggle shooting the basketball, but his willingness to take shots along with Kentucky’s poor spacing this past year are signs that indicate he may be better than his numbers showed.
Zeke Nnaji and Isaiah Stewart are both interesting bigs to look at. In Stewart’s case, it looks as though he will be able to stretch the floor at the NBA level. Nnaji has a solid floor defensively and could be a starter for the right team. Boston is a team to look for when it comes to a landing spot for either of these players.
