Players 21-25

21. Josh Green, Wing, Arizona
22. Desmond Bane, Guard, TCU
23. Elijah Hughes, Wing, Syracuse
24. Paul Reed, Forward, DePaul
25. Jahmi’us Ramsey, Guard, Texas Tech

This is the only group of players that I feel confident saying would all fit on virtually any team. Every single one of Green, Bane, Hughes, Reed, and Ramsey have a very translatable skill set that most teams need a lot of.

Josh Green is being overthought. He is an incredible athlete that brings a lot defensively. Even being the league-average shooter that he projects to be, Green’s defensive impact alone makes him much more of a safer bet than most players in this draft class.

Desmond Bane and Elijah Hughes are both going to be great shooters. Bane could very well be the best shooter in this draft class. Hughes, playing in Syracuse, might have hidden any on-ball defensive weaknesses that he had, but any and everything that he did show indicates he is going to be a good two-way player.
