Players 26-30

26. Cassius Stanley, Wing, Duke
27. Xavier Tillman, Big, Michigan State
28. Robert Woodard, Wing/Forward, Mississippi State
29. Aleksej Pokusevski, Forward/Big, Serbia
30. Nico Mannion, Guard, Arizona

Cassius Stanley is, hands down, the best athlete in this draft class. He is explosive in transition, and has enough of a shot to where you are willing to bet it translates to the next level. Defensively, if he can get better switching and guarding on-ball assignments, Stanley could become a great player at generating turnovers. He averaged one steal and one block per game.

Aleksej Pokusevski would be a super interesting fit on the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is really mobile for his size and can knock down shots from anywhere on the floor. That said, he is not going to be a plus defender for a very long time merely due to his lack of frame. Pokusevski needs to put on muscle if he even wants to be considered average on that end of the floor.
