21. Toronto Raptors: Tre Jones (Duke, PG, Sophomore)

Jones' scouting report doesn't appear like it will change much based on his performance against Kansas Tuesday night, when he finished with 15 points, six rebounds, seven assists and two steals. He missed all four of his threes, but teams will value his ball pressure and passing IQ in a backup role worth filling with a late first-round pick.

22. Dallas Mavericks: Scottie Lewis (Florida, SG, Freshman)

Lewis' athleticism and defense should keep scouts patient with his offense. He's still a transition weapon, slashing threat and capable shot-maker, and he impacts game with his ball pressure and intangibles. Regular signs of pull-ups, floaters and catch-and-shoot jumpers should lock Lewis into the No. 15-30 range.





23. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Nuggets): Precious Achiuwa (Memphis, SF/PF, Freshman)

Achiuwa should immediately stand out with 6'9", 225-pound size, athleticism and face-up offensive ability to play the wing. He's not advanced in any one area, lacking strong shot-creation and shooting skills. But his tools and skill set should buy him time, as long as he flashes enough glimpses of finishing on the move, touch and defensive versatility.

24. Los Angeles Clippers: Matthew Hurt (Duke, PF, Freshman)

Hurt flashed his shot-making against Kansas in Duke's opener, knocking down three triples and a short step-back jumper. It doesn't appear he'll offer much inside or defensively, lacking strength and athleticism. But this late, teams will see a big who can stretch the floor and make high-IQ plays.

25. Phoenix Suns: Bryan Antoine (Villanova, SG, Freshman)

A shoulder injury will delay Antoine's debut and possibly lead to a slow start. But scouts are well aware of his combo skills and pesky defense. They'll show eventually at Villanova. Even if the injury keeps him sidelined for longer than expected, teams will be willing to take a first-round flier on Antoine's scoring potential and quickness at both ends.

26. Boston Celtics: Patrick Williams (Florida State, PF, Freshman)

The NBA scouting lens should quickly pick up Williams' chiseled 6'8" frame and athleticism. But he'll create first-round buzz by showing off face-up offense and outside touch. He'll be a potential-over-polish prospect capable of rising into the lottery with consistent production and encouraging shooting numbers.

27. Boston Celtics: Aaron Henry (Michigan State, SG, Sophomore)

Henry's 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists against LSU in the NCAA tournament helped lead to breakout expectations for 2020. Joshua Langford being out months with a foot injury should create an even heavier workload for Henry, a 6'6" 2-guard who'll rise up boards by building on last year's flashes of shot creation and shooting.

28. Brooklyn Nets (via 76ers): Jordan Nwora (Louisville, SF, Junior)

Nwora opened his junior season with 23 points against Miami, looking the part of an NBA scorer with 6'7" size and high-level shot-making. Leading a strong Louisville team to a successful season should ultimately reflect favorably on his stock, even if his assist numbers remain low and his defense doesn't improve. Nwora has scoring-specialist potential.

29. Miami Heat: Obi Toppin (Dayton, PF, Sophomore)

Toppin returns as a breakout candidate after averaging 14.4 points and ranking in the 90th percentile off post-ups, transition, cuts, rolls, put-backs and general finishes around the basket, per Synergy Sports. An exciting athlete with developing touch (11-of-21 on three-pointers), Dayton's sophomore should enter the first-round mix by taking another step as a shooter and defender.

30. Los Angeles Lakers: Trevelin Queen (New Mexico State, SF, Junior)

Queen starts on sleeper watch after registering per-40-minute numbers of 20.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.0 blocks on 60.3 percent shooting inside the arc. Poised for a bigger role, he checks boxes with shot-making, passing skill and defensive playmaking ability.
