Picks 20-16

18. The sturdy Kabengele checks in at 6’10” and 250 lbs with an impressive 7’3″ wingspan. He’s not an especially agile player, but he shoots surprisingly well for his size. He shot 37.4 percent from 3-point range in his two-year collegiate career at Florida State and hit 72.4 percent from the free-throw line.. Forward. Celtics. Mfiondu Kabengele. 20. player

19. player. 29. Doumbouya is still raw as a prospect in some areas, but that almost makes him the perfect fit for San Antonio. They can take his blooming offensive potential/defensive tools and craft this very uniquely athletic specimen into the player they want based on their own personal desires. Sounds sort of like another guy they drafted with a similar profile, *place awkward viral laughter here. Forward. Spurs. Sekou Doumbouya

player. 100. The Indiana Pacers struggled to create consistent offense on last season once Victor Oladipo went down with an injury. Not only would Romeo Langford come in with a certain familiarity to the Hoosier State, but he would also bring with him the ability to flat out get buckets. His consistency from range will need work, but that still didn’t stop him from scoring 16.5 points per game for the Hoosiers last season, and that was with a bum hand.. Guard. Pacers. Romeo Langford. 18

Nassir Little is an explosive athletic physical specimen who struggles offensively. He came off the bench in all 36 games he played for the University of North Carolina in his freshman season and shot 47.8 percent from the floor and 26.9 percent from 3-point range. He’s raw with plenty of upside, but he’ll have some work to do in order to realize that ceiling.. Forward. Hawks. Nassir Little. 17. player. 125

Nickeil Alexander-Walker. 16. player. 38. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is a scorer who could really impress at the NBA level. He’s smart on the floor and a gifted finisher and shooter, scoring 16.2 points per game in his sophomore season for Virginia Tech. He shot 47.4 percent from the floor and 37.4 percent from 3-point range last season.. Guard. Magic
