17.
Minnesota Timberwolves: Collin Murray-Boyles, PF, South Carolina 
The Timberwolves could stand to add a defensive big man who can begin playing once the team loses some of its key depth pieces.
18.
Washington Bullets: Carter Bryant, SF, Arizona 
As mentioned earlier, the Bullets need help at every position except center, so they could stand to add the best player on the board.
19.
Brooklyn Nets: Joan Beringer, C, France 
The Nets have 50,000 first-round picks, so it makes sense for them to draft a stash player with at least one of their selections, even if that stash player is a Frenchman named Joan.
20.
Miami Heat: Liam McNeeley, SF, Connecticut 
Miami sorely missed Jimmy Butler after he was traded during the middle of the season, so they’ll be on the lookout for a potential replacement.
21.
Utah Jazz: Cedric Coward, SG/SF, Washington State 
Here’s a new wing for the Jazz to go along with a certain bigger player they acquired earlier in the draft.
22.
Atlanta Hawks: Jase Richardson, SG, Michigan State 
The Hawks could pair their new big man with a guard to give them much-needed depth. The son of former NBA player Jason Richardson, Jase Richardson seems like he’d be a solid fit for Washington’s anemic backcourt.
23.
Indiana Pacers: Rasheer Fleming, F, St. Joseph’s 
The Pacers could stand to add another wing to help with their depth.
24.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Hansen Yang, C, China 
The Thunder are very deep right now, so with multiple first-round selections, they can stash someone overseas.
25.
Orlando Magic: Walter Clayton Jr., PG, Florida 
Here’s more offensive firepower for the Magic. Walter Clayton Jr. is a dynamic three-point shooter, so he’ll be able to help Orlando score more points.
26.
Brooklyn Nets: Hugo Gonzalez, SG, Spain 
The Nets complete their new backcourt with this pick. It’s very likely that the Nets draft two guards, but they could also address almost everything else.
27.
Brooklyn Nets: Noah Penda, PF, France
Another stash player for the Nets, who can address all five positions with their first-round picks.
28.
Boston Celtics: Danny Wolf, C, Michigan 
Al Horford isn’t going to be around much longer, so the Celtics might be looking for a replacement.
29.
Phoenix Suns: Johni Broome, PF, Auburn 
The Suns have the worst group of big men in the NBA, so they’ll need to fix this glaring hole.
30.
Los Angeles Clippers: Ben Saraf, SG, Israel 
The Clippers can draft a stash player and keep him overseas until James Harden retires or leaves the team.
