11. Zach Collins, C, Gonzaga (Prev. 12)
Collins, another near 7-footer, doesn’t have the pure shooting stroke of Markkanen, but he’s NBA-ready defensively. Collins can walk in and start defending opposing 4s and smaller 5s, rebound his position and knock down a few open shots. He’s the best two-way stretch-5 in this class.
The only reason he ranks behind Markkanen is because 3-point shooting is such a premium. However, Collins has higher upside on the defensive end and versatility at his position.
12. OG Anunoby, F, Indiana (Prev. 10)
He tore his ACL early in the college basketball season, but was arguably a top-10 pick before the injury. If the Heat feel comfortable with his health and can wait on his recovery, they could grab the steal of the draft in the middle of the first round. Anunoby is potentially a lock-down perimeter defender with length and athleticism to pair nicely next to Justise Winslow.
Anunoby and Winslow could become the league’s most dominant perimeter defense duo, and both have upside on the offensive end of the ball. It just comes down to his injuries, and his recent slide down draft boards could indicate that some teams are worried.
