For sponsoring this video now let’s get back to the topic quick at hand starting with the first pick in the draft the Detroit Pistons select Alexander sar from France the Pistons have been the worst team all year hoping the lottery doesn’t screw them out of the top pick

So assuming that they land it they’ll go with the prospect that is starting to stand out a bit Above the Rest this isn’t necessarily a draft class with a Bonafide Superstar Prospect in the making like some of the more recent classes have had but SAR has a good

Combination of tantalizing upside with a safe floor as versatile big man that can play both the power forward and Center positions at 7′ one he’s a natural shot blocker with impressive defensive instincts he moves well with his rotations his finishing around the basket is tough to stop and his budding

Perimeter jumper helps him fit in alongside Jaylen Duren in the Pistons lineup if they were to bring him in here next with the number two pick in the draft the Washington Wizards select Zachary racee from France we’re seeing a bit of a French Revolution in the the

NBA lately with the first two picks so far both being from France and then obviously Victor wanyama last year was French so I don’t know what’s in the water over there lately but they’re taking big strides on the basketball court the Wizards are also very excited about Bal kulali who they drafted last

Year also from France so the team has proven that their comfortable drafting Talent from the French lnb Pro a league that rash plays in he’s one of the Premier Shooters in the class and at 6’8 he skill at his size is an NBA Scouts dream he needs to improve at creating

His own offense off the dribble but he moves well without the ball and gets to his spots with ease to knock down shots so he’ll be very effective at the next level next with the third pick in the draft the San Antonio Spurs select Nicola topic from Serbia the Spurs are

In desperate need of a primary ball handler and point guard and topic right now is the top prospect in that regard if he were to fall to the Spurs then I don’t think they would hesitate to take him because his presence on the team would help unlock even more out of

Victor wanyama and they would be a perfect partnership to build around moving forward he is a 6’6 guard with an impressive feel for the game at 18 years old who before suffering a knee injury was leading the Adriatic league in assist per game which is pretty crazily

Impressive for a teenager he’s tough to speed up he controls the tempo of the offense masterfully and he’s very unselfish which is a trait that the Spurs definitely need more of next with the fourth pick the Charlotte Hornets select Ron Holland from jie ignite Ron Holland has had a pretty Rocky up and

Down season in the G league but with the Hornets trading away Terry roier they are definitely in the market for a scoring guard to replace him and of the available talent in this class I think Holland is definitely worth taking a swing on yes his three-point shooting

Does need a lot of work as he’s making just 24% of his shots from deep in the g-league but as a teenager he’s still scoring about 21 points per game making 44% of his total shots which speaks volumes to how dangerous of a slasher and finisher around the basket he can be

And he’s definitely looked a lot more comfortable with each passing game in terms of playing more under control and making smarter decisions as the season goes on up next with the fifth pick in the draft the Portland Trailblazers select Cody Williams from Colorado Cody Williams came back from an injury that

Held him out of about a month month of play and picked right back up where he left off as one of the most efficient scoring talents in the entire class his shot making ability has been so much better than anyone anticipated before the year as he’s scoring about 14 points

Per game shooting 56% from the field and 47% from three admittedly he doesn’t take that many threes attempting just two per game but there’s no denying that he can bury you if you leave him open out there and if you overcommit he’s attacking the cup off the dribble and

Converting inside he plays solid defense he doesn’t Force bad shots and he makes the right play and for a Blazers team in need of more Wing Talent he is a perfect fit next with the sixth pick the Memphis Grizzlies select Rob Dillingham from Kentucky Dillingham might be the most

Fun to watch Prospect in college basketball and the flare he brings to the game is equally matched by his Elite production and shot making prowess that stands a level Above the Rest as he’s putting up about 15 points and four assist per game shooting 49% from the

Field and 45% from three Kentucky has a long history of producing talented allar caliber NBA guards and Dillingham looks every bit like the next one in line because his ability to create space off the dribble knock down shots on the Move Get wherever he wants on the court with

His tight crisp handle and finish in the paint with a soft feathery touch makes him a matchup nightmare sure the Grizzlies already have John Morant but they’re in desperate need of more Playmakers alongside beside him and Dillingham could grow behind Morant at the start of his career providing an

Elite spark Off the Bench and then grow into something more down the line just like he does at Kentucky as he’s coming off the bench up next with the seventh pick the San Antonio Spurs who own the Raptor’s pick select modus buellis from jilie ignite earlier in this mock draft

The Spurs landed their point guard of the future so here they can take a swing at the player with the highest upside left in the class in buellis buellis is definitely a more Raw Talent compared to his teammate Ron Holland on the g-league ignite Squad but long-term Scouts see

Flashes of a guy who could blossom into a doit all two-way Wing that can play a really visibly appealing game when he’s on the issue is that there are still way too many games where he Fades into the background and doesn’t assert himself but those are the growing pains that

Will come with a player like him and Greg papovich is no stranger to maximizing the talent of players like this next with the the eighth pick the Houston Rockets who own the Nets pick select Reed Shepard from Kentucky ever since coim udoka took over the Rockets

He’s made it very clear that he’s trying to change the culture to a more winning one with guys that will play hard on both ends of the floor and make the right plays and Reed Shepard is the perfect Prospect for that who encapsulates that Mantra that udoka is

Trying to push he’s not a flashy player by any means he just puts his head down and does the little things needed from him to impact winning he’s a ridiculously hyp efficient score putting up about 12 points off the bench at Kentucky but he’s making a ridiculous

53% of his shots and 52% of his threes and his ability to generate Steals on defense combined with his reliable scoring output makes him a seamless fit into any NBA lineup up next with the ninth pick the Atlanta Hawks select jacobe Walter from Baylor Walter’s RedHot hype has cooled off a little bit

Over the last month as he’s been in a bit of a slump over that stretch of games so now we have a more realistic idea of what he is with his highs and his lows he’s definitely one of the most exciting scoring talents in the draft

Because he’s shown he can be a guy that takes and makes tough shots but the trade-off with guys like that is they’re always going to be pretty inconsistent and their efficiency will come and go on the year Walter is shooting just 38% from the field and 33% from three which

Realistically isn’t great but the fact that he competes hard on defense with his potential hot and cold shooting bouts makes him more defensible next with the 10th pick the Oklahoma City Thunder who owned the Rockets pick select Stefon Castle from Yukon Castle is a strong bodied guard that likes to

Get into the paint absorb contact and either finish strong or get to the free throw line he’s not necessarily in a position to always show out as freely as others because he’s on the defending Champion Connecticut Squad ranked number one in the country so he’s trying his

Best to fit in but lately he’s really been making his presence felt with back toback 20po outings last week up next with the 11th pick the Thunder who also owned the Jazz pick select ton Salon from France that’s right the Thunder’s endless treasure chest of first round

Picks is making its presence felt as they land back-to-back lottery picks both of which originally belonged to other teams and with the second one here Salon feels like the exact type of prospect that the Thunder have been targeting over the last few years he’s just 18 years old he’s 6’1 he’s got good

Length he plays on the wing and he’s already proving to be a very intriguing shot maker at his size next with the 12th pick the Chicago Bulls select Kyle filipowski from duke choosing to return to Duke for his sophomore season has turned out to be a brilliant decision

For him because this season has looked so much better across the board and he has worked his way back into the lottery conversations after a pretty disappointing freshman year last year he’s shooting the ball better inside and out he’s playing smarter and dishing more assists from the block he’s

Blocking more shots and he looks much more comfortable in general as a highly skilled big man next with the 13th pick the Portland Trailblazers select Donovan kingan from Yukon Donovan first started to turn heads during last season’s National Title run while coming off the bench and now that he’s in the starting

Lineup this year he’s basically doubled his output and has continued to dominate the defensive end as a rim protecting anchor in the middle that blocks a ton of shots he rotates well and he finishes efficiently around the basket so he’s a pretty solid big man to develop to

Potentially anchor an NBA defense and finally with the last pick of the lottery the New Orleans Pelicans who owned the Lakers pick select Isaiah klier from USC klier was once in the conversation for the number one pick but while that level of hype has cooled off

He is still a fringe Lottery talent that can make big plays at the point guard position he’s a Relentless driver to the basket with a strong finishing ability through contact he’s just not consistent enough as a perimeter shooter and he needs to limit his turnovers better to

Potentially shoot back up this list and with that being said that’s all I have for you today make sure to like the video subscribe to the channel and comment down below which Prospect you’re most excited about thanks for watching and I’ll see you all next Time he
