15. Mo Bamba (Originally Picked 6th)

It took a while, but we finally got a look at the intriguing potential of Mo Bamba's three-and-D game in 2021-22. In only 25.7 minutes per game, he averaged 10.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.5 threes while shooting 38.1 percent from deep.

Having a big man who can both spread the floor and take care of the rim allows you to play with all of the benefits of a five-out offense without sacrificing the backbone of most defenses (rim protection).

14. Collin Sexton (Originally Picked 8th)

Relative inefficiency, lack of creation for others, lackluster defense and an injury in 2021-22 have all hurt Collin Sexton's stock. All of the above and the bad timing of hitting free agency in a summer with very little cap space are probably contributing to him still being available.

But 2020-21 gave us a glimpse of what Sexton's ceiling might be, and it's pretty high as a heat-check scorer. That season, Sexton averaged 24.3 points, 4.4 assists and 1.6 threes while shooting 37.1 percent from deep, and he did his scoring from all over the floor.

13. De'Anthony Melton (Originally Picked 46th)

De'Anthony Melton has quietly become one of the game's better perimeter defenders. That compliment isn't entirely based on his having one of the best steal rates in the league over the course of his career, although that helps.

Melton's quickness makes him a good option against either guard spot, but he also has the length (6'8" wingspan) to switch up onto wings. Shooting 38.8 percent from three and averaging 2.6 assists in only 21.6 minutes per game over the last two seasons suggests he still has plenty of potential on offense, too.

12. Jalen Brunson (Originally Picked 33rd)

Jalen Brunson spent most of his first three seasons as a reserve, but he still managed to establish himself as an above-average point guard with Sixth Man of the Year potential.

When the Dallas Mavericks inserted him into their starting five last season, his stock took off. In the 1,208 minutes he played without Luka Doncic, Brunson averaged 23.7 points and 8.0 assists per 75 possessions and made it clear he can function as a No. 1 guard.

11. Mitchell Robinson (Originally Picked 36th)

Brunson's new teammate, Mitchell Robinson, hasn't garnered as much attention, but he's shown flashes of legitimate defensive anchor upside.

During his career, Robinson has averaged 7.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in only 23.8 percent minutes per game per game. He's also shooting 72.2 percent from the field.

Playmaking and shooting from all positions is in high demand, but centers who are as long, athletic and explosive as Robinson can still get away with relying on rim-running and -protection to stay on the floor.
