19. Brooklyn Nets – Desmond Bane, Guard, TCU

The Brooklyn Nets just need more complementary basketball players around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. No, they are not going to be able to trade for James Harden. Desmond Bane is a really good, consistent guard that should be able to contribute from day one.

20. Miami Heat – Cole Anthony, Guard, UNC

Cole Anthony should be a top-10 draft pick. The Miami Heat are led by Pat Riley, who is a smart basketball mind and will not let Anthony fall past them. Anthony comes from a UNC background that prioritizes conditioning and work-ethic – the same as Miami.

21. Philadelphia 76ers – Kira Lewis, Guard, Alabama

Kira Lewis is another player that should not fall on draft night. He’s a lightning quick guard, and although he does not fit the Philadelphia 76ers the best, he is clearly the best guard available on the board.

22. Denver Nuggets – Isaiah Stewart, Big, Washington

The Denver Nuggets are a team that has consistently drafted based on high upside. Stewart fills the need for a backup center while also bringing some floor spacing potential as a big, too.
