A small-school star, the 6-11 forward averaged a double-double last year, and has playmaking and shooting-range skills teams covet in big men.

Beyond Nic Claxton, the Nets lack size on the interior, and they like the 6-foot-11, 265-pound big man's mobility for his size.

The 76ers found good value with the 21st pick last year with Tyrese Maxey, and they hope to replicate that choice with Springer, another combo guard who is a dedicated defender and shot 43.5 percent from 3 in his one year at Tennessee.

One of the most offensive-ready prospects in the draft, Thomas has work to do on the defensive end and his shot from the perimeter is a work in progress, but he can at least provide scoring depth on the Nets' bench.

Jamal Murray's uncertain injury status creates a need for added backcourt scoring punch, and Hyland should be able to step in as a microwave scorer off the bench.

Just ask Rutgers fans about Grimes, who shot them out of the NCAA Tournament. He wowed the Knicks at a workout this month as someone they believe can contribute quickly as a defender and shooter.

The Rockets took a big swing here with the last of their four first-round picks on the high-upside Christopher, an enticing shotmaker who didn't produce as expected in his one year in college at Arizona State.

The 6-foot-8 forward profiles as an elite defender who is long, strong and adept at guarding multiple positions.

This pick belonged to the Lakers at the start of the day, before switching hands twice, and ending up with the Pacers, who went with production with their first pick (Duarte) and potential with their second choice in the raw yet developing Jackson.

A monster of a defender with a vertical leap of 41.5 inches, Johnson would've fit in well with Tom Thibodeau's Knicks. Instead of drafting the Tennessee one-and-done star, though, they sent the pick to the Clippers.

He had the talent to be thought of as a top-five pick before the season, but also a bad enough year to fall all the way into the 20s. Duke, after all, played better after Johnson opted out of the season in February.

Loads of potential, plenty of inconsistency. Jones has shown promise as a rim-running, shot-blocking force with shooting range. But it's mostly projectable ability for now.
