6. Atlanta Hawks — Tyrese Haliburton, G, Iowa State
In recent years, the Hawks have loaded up on no shortage of NBA Draft prospects. Using this selection to add a more established talent in a trade would be an intriguing option here. However, a combo guard like Tyrese Haliburton at 6-foot-5 who can shoot and make the right play is an option.

7. Detroit Pistons — Killian Hayes, G, France
One of the more volatile draft stocks is Killian Hayes because he has plenty of upside but could go anywhere within the top 10, most likely. He has an intriguing ability to create his shot off the dribble and can make plays for his teammates. This is a talent the Pistons need in a rebuild.

8. New York Knicks — Isaac Okoro, F, Auburn
It has been rumored that New York could look to trade down from the No. 8 spot as they are not enamored with the projected options. A trade for an established star could be an option, too. If they stay put, going with a versatile wing defender with upside in Isaac Okoro is a strong option.
Odds for No. 1 Pick (via DraftKings): +8000
9. Washington Wizards — Obi Toppin, F, Dayton
Looking to bolster the frontcourt could be an avenue the Wizards could go by selecting Obi Toppin at this spot. He’s a threat as a pick-and-roll screener and that’s an attractive attribute for a team that has a backcourt with Bradley Beal and John Wall.
Odds for No. 1 Pick (via DraftKings): +4000
10. Phoenix Suns — Tyrell Terry, G, Stanford
While many may not have Tyrell Terry going this early in the NBA Draft, it’s tough to envision him not rising up the board after his measurements get confirmed at the NBA Scouting Combine. His shooting and facilitation are both intriguing and he’s now a safer option weighing 174 pounds.
