Atlanta Hawks: Malaki Branham, SG, Ohio State 
The Hawks seem like they’d be in the market for a new backcourt mate for Trae Young.

Houston Rockets: Ochai Agbaji, SG, Kansas 
This is a bit late for Ochai Agbaji, but the Rockets won’t complain. They went big with their first pick, so it makes sense to add a guard at No. 17. -
Chicago Bulls: Jalen Williams, SG/SF, Santa Clara 
The Zach Lavine trade rumors are always swirling – at least according to my dad, who dreams of ways to add Lavine to the 76ers every day – so perhaps the Bulls will want some insurance. -
Minnesota Timberwolves: Tari Eason, PF, LSU 
The Timberwolves need another big man to go along with Karl-Anthony Towns. -
San Antonio Spurs: Blake Wesley, G, Notre Dame 
The Spurs could stand to add another guard to their rotation, given their depth issues. -
Denver Nuggets: Jaden Hardy, SG, G-League
The Nuggets supposedly have the MVP even though they can’t get out of the first round. The MVP needs guard help. -
Memphis Grizzlies: Nikola Jovic, PF/C, Serbia 
Steven Adams was exposed in the playoffs, so the Grizzlies might want to obtain a big man. Nikola Jovic isn’t quite Nikola Jokic, but he’s close, at least in spelling. -
Philadelphia 76ers: E.J. Liddell, PF, Ohio State
The 76ers need depth for their next disappointing playoff run. A big man should be obtained for when Joel Oden gets hurt again. -
Milwaukee Bucks: Kendall Brown, F, Baylor 
The Bucks lacked depth in their playoff series loss to the Celtics. They need to target the best player available. -
San Antonio Spurs: Ismael Kamagate, C, France
With all of these picks, the Spurs figure to select one foreign player and stash them overseas, where they may never be heard from again. -
Dallas Mavericks: Jake LaRavia, PF, Wake Forest 
Dallas could use another big man in the wake of the Kristaps Porzingis trade. -
Miami Heat: Walker Kessler, C, Auburn 
It wouldn’t be the worst idea for the Heat to find better insurance for Bam Adebayo. -
Golden State Warriors: MarJon Beauchamp, SG, G-League
The Warriors may want to add another wing player for depth, especially with the aging players at the position. -
Memphis Grizzlies: Leonard Miller, F, Canada
With another pick, the Grizzlies can afford to swing for the fences with a player with upside. -
Oklahoma City Thunder: Jamaree Bouyea, PG, San Francisco 
With numerous first-round picks, the Thunder could select a foreign player. San Francisco, basically a third-world country, certainly qualifies.
