Oklahoma City Thunder: Jalen Johnson, SF, Duke 
The Thunder, as mentioned earlier, need help everywhere around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This includes finding a new wing.

You can buy it here. It has some NFL Draft-related topics, so like I said, if you want to support the site, this is a great way to do it! -
New Orleans Pelicans: Trey Murphy, SG, Virginia 
The Pelicans would’ve made the playoffs if they weren’t coached by a dope. Stan Van Gundy was so inept that he couldn’t figure out that he had to remove the low-effort Eric Bledsoe from the lineup. Bledsoe is gone, so here’s a replacement. -
Oklahoma City Thunder: Cameron Thomas, SG, LSU
Again, the Thunder has a horrible roster outside of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, so it needs help at every position. -
New York Knicks: Chris Duarte, PG/SG, Oregon 
The Knicks need offense very badly. They couldn’t score in their playoff series against the Knicks. -
Atlanta Hawks: Day’Ron Sharpe, C, North Carolina 
The Hawks had no chance against Joel Embiid in the playoffs, so they may want to add another big man, especially if they can trade down. -
New York Knicks: Isaiah Jackson, PF, Kentucky
Julius Randle was a huge disappointment in the playoffs. Perhaps he’ll be better next year, but the Knicks need better depth behind him regardless. -
Los Angeles Lakers: Jared Butler, PG/SG, Baylor 
Kenatvious Caldwell-Pope is a liability in the Lakers’ lineup, so an upgrade is needed. -
Houston Rockets: Usman Garuba, PF/C, Spain 
The Rockets need everything, including some frontcourt help that they can solve with this pick. -
Houston Rockets: Zaire Williams, SG/SF, Stanford
Name a position, and the Rockets must upgrade it. They should just pick the best players available. -
Los Angeles Clippers: Sharife Cooper, PG, Auburn 
The Clippers missed Lou Williams in the playoffs, as Rajon Rondo was not a good replacement. Here’s someone to take Williams’ place. -
Denver Nuggets: Jaden Springer, SG, Tennessee 
Denver’s backcourt play fell off a cliff when Jamal Murray got hurt, so here’s some help in that area. -
Brooklyn Nets: Miles McBride, PG, West Virginia 
The Nets need someone to run the offense when Kyrie Irving gets hurt again next year. -
Philadelphia 76ers: Joshua Primo, SG, Alabama 
Seth Curry is an inconsistent player, so I imagine the 76ers will want to get a better shooting guard at some point. -
Phoenix Suns: Tre Mann, PG, Florida 
Chris Paul was great for the Suns this season, but he’s obviously not the long-term answer. -
Utah Jazz: Ayo Dosunmu, PG/SG, Illinois 
The Jazz looked completely lost when Donovan Mitchell was out of the lineup, so they should do something about that.
