at No. 4, but after jumping to the top five in the lottery, one may think why not swing for Jaden Ivey, who looks to have the explosive star upside? If the Kings couldn’t find a partner to trade back a few spots to get Murray, that’s one thing, but they also stood pat the rest of the draft.and the No. 49 to the Cleveland Cavaliers for 26-year-old Euro prospect Sasha Vezenkov.
In the second round, Detroit grabbed Gabriele Procida at No. 36. He played overseas in Italy and shot well from deep although on low volume, but he just turned 20 and is a nice stash prospect.Normally not a fan of calling players losers, but E.J. Liddell and Kendall Brown were the two biggest drops in the draft. The Ohio State forward was widely viewed as a mid-to-late first-round pick, but he fell all the way to No. 41 in the second round.
Brown is a 6-foot-8, 19-year-old small forward who was also seen as a possible first-rounder because of his potential. But he fell all the way to No. 48, where the Indiana Pacers picked him up after landing Bennedict Mathurin at No. 6. Brown still has to prove he can extend his range from beyond the perimeter, but these two players unfortunately fall into this category.Houston is creating a problem. With three first-round picks coming in the form of Jabari Smith Jr.
Jeremy Sochan , Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley were all very San Antonio Spurs-like picks. The Spurs are still building out their next core following the Tim Duncan-Manu Ginobili-Tony Parker days, and these three first-rounders could develop nicely with 2021 All-Star Dejounte Murray leading the way.
