16.
Orlando Magic: Cameron Houindo, SF/PF, France 
The Magic need to improve their ability to score points, so perhaps they’ll do that with this pick.

Also, if you haven’t visited the site in a while, you may have noticed the new look. Yes, after nearly two decades, we’ve finally re-designed our site to be more modern. This was not done on a whim, but rather out of necessity because of what occurred during the 2023 NFL Draft. Our site crashed during the entire first day of the draft, which was disastrous for our revenue stream because we make more money during the draft than any other time. The site crashed because a line of code conflicted with the old format of the site, so we had to transition to this new look.
Because we lost so much money during the draft, I want to point out that you can really help support the site by paying for the ad-free version of it. It’s $7.99 per month, but you’ll get a super-fast site with no ads. My developer will be adding new features to paid subscribers as well, so look for that in the near future. If you don’t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!
17.
Phoenix Suns: Bryson Tiller, PF, Missouri 
The Suns need much more production out of the four, though that could be said of several positions on their depth chart.
18.
Atlanta Hawks: Klark Reithauser, SF, Switzerland 
The Hawks are weak on the wing, so they’ll need to address that area soon.
19.
Philadelphia 76ers: Billy Richmond, SF, Arkansas 
The 76ers need better play at small forward, so they’ll be hoping to address that position with this pick.
20.
Toronto Raptors: Cameron Williams, PF, Duke 
The Raptors have a strong starting lineup, but they could stand to add some depth in the front court.
21.
Houston Rockets: Cameron Houindo, SF, France
Kevin Durant won’t be on the Rockets much longer, so he’ll have to be replaced in the near future.
22.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Stefan Joksimovic, SG, Slovenia 
James Harden won’t be welcome in Cleveland much longer, so the Cavaliers will be looking for a new guard.
23.
Minnesota Timberwolves: Bryson Tiller, PF, Missouri
Julius Randle has been traded, so here’s a new four for the Timberwolves.
24.
New York Knicks: Miikka Muurinen, PF, Finland 
The Knicks have a great roster, so they could take an overseas stash with this pick.
25.
Los Angeles Lakers: Abdou Toure, SG, Arkansas
The Lakers may lose Austin Reaves in the near future, so here’s a new guard to pair with Luka Doncic.
26.
Denver Nuggets: Sayon Keita, C, Mali 
The Nuggets could groom a replacement for Nikola Jokic with this overseas stash.
27.
Boston Celtics: Kanon Catchings, SF, Georgia 
Jaylen Brown was offered in a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, so the Celtics may have to replace him soon.
28.
Detroit Pistons: Davis Fogle, SG, Gonzaga 
Shooting guard was a weaker point for the Pistons, so they could address that area with this selection.
29.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Dylan Mingo, G, Baylor 
The Thunder’s roster is terrific, so they can afford to select the best player available.
30.
San Antonio Spurs: Alex Condon, C, Florida 
The Spurs might want a better backup behind Victor Wembanyama.
