NBA Mock Draft: Picks 11-15

11. Charlotte Hornets

Isaiah Jackson, C, Kentucky

Jackson is another name that is beginning to gain more attention leading up to the draft. The Kentucky product is one of the best bigs in the draft. This is something that Charlotte needs moving forward. They are set in the backcourt and even have some room to move one of their guards. Jackson would bring a dynamic player down low where the Hornets are paper thin. There will be options for this pick but an athlete like Jackson who can protect the rim and run the floor seems like a safe bet.

12. Indiana Pacers

Franz Wagner, SG, Michigan

Wagner was arguably the top player on a loaded Michigan team this past season. This seems to be the area where he will be selected so now it all depends on which team will end up pulling the trigger. Indiana now has Caris LeVert and TJ Warren as scoring options but their depth on the wing is weak. This is where Wagner could bring them a defensive specialist who can knock down shots from the outside. This would bring Indiana some great depth and support moving forward.

13. San Antonio Spurs

Alperen Sengun, C, Turkey

Sengun was just named MVP of the Turkish BSL at just 18 years old. He averaged 19.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game this season. He has all the makings of a lottery pick and there are few better franchises to land than San Antonio. The Spurs have a history of winning and could add their next great center here. Sengun can square to the basket and is comfortable at all three levels. Gregg Popovich would have a nice new addition to work into the rotation.

14. Golden State Warriors

Josh Giddey, SG, Australia

With their second pick in the first round, the Warriors will add a playmaker to go along with an athletic presence like Barnes. Giddey is one of the top passers in this draft and at 6-foot-8, that is intriguing. He is a big guard who has been the main option on a team. In Golden State, he would not have to be this but would still gain some attention because of his size and ability. Whether Giddey would start right away is unknown. If not, he would give the second unit a leader and ball handler. 

15. Washington Wizards

James Bouknight, SG, UConn

Bouknight has a chance to go higher in the first round. It all depends on how teams near the middle of the top 10 see him. For Washington, this would be a bit of a steal. Bouknight made his name as a scorer. He averaged 18.7 points per game for the Huskies this past season. The Wizards could be looking for some more depth and Bouknight would bring an immediate spark off the bench.
