11. Charlotte Hornets
Franz Wagner, SG, Michigan
Franz Wagner is one of the most-difficult players to predict in this year’s draft. He could go in the top 10 or fall out of the lottery depending on how things go early on. The Charlotte Hornets could opt for a big man here with many on the board but Wagner would give them some more depth on the wing.
Gordon Hayward missed some time with an injury and could even be a trade piece this offseason. Wagner brings a prospect that is reliable from the foul line and can turn into a consistent contributor from the perimeter.

12. San Antonio Spurs
Isaiah Jackson, C, Kentucky
When LaMarcus Aldridge was bought out by the San Antonio Spurs, this left the team thin in the frontcourt. With plenty of options on the board, the Spurs could go with Isaiah Jackson here. Jackson is a rim-wrecker on both ends of the floor. He was an elite shot blocker in college and can run the floor in transition.
Jackson is a great athlete that can finish at the rim and act as a pick-and-roll option. This would give the Spurs their next big man to rely on.
13. Indiana Pacers
Josh Giddey, SG, Australia
Josh Giddey could be a value pick at No. 13 for the Indiana Pacers. He has seen success in one of the top professional leagues in the world and is now looking to jump into the NBA. Giddey is already a developed passer and shooter. At 6-foot-8, his skill set should transition flawlessly to the next level. Giddey can add some depth on the wing wherever he lands and this is what the Pacers could look for.

14. Golden State Warriors
Corey Kispert, SF, Gonzaga
Corey Kispert was one of the winningest players in college basketball during his time. He spent four years with Gonzaga and developed into the WCC Player of the Year. Kispert would fit right into what the Warriors like to do. He is a 44% shooter from three-point range and scored 18.6 points per game as a senior. Kispert is experienced and ready to contribute at the next level. The Warriors always look to add shooters and depth along the three-point line.
15. Washington Wizards
James Bouknight, PG, UCONN
The Washington Wizards created one of the elite backcourts in the league with Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal. Other than that, the Wizards are an underwhelming roster in terms of depth. This is where a strong scorer like James Bouknight could come into play.
He needs to improve as a shooter but Bouknight scored 18.7 points per game for the Huskies this season. He has a bit of developing to do but can be a bench piece for a team right away.
