29: San Antonio Spurs- Ty Jerome, G, Virginia

The second UVA player off the board heads to San Antonio with the team’s second first-round selection. Jerome in his junior season has averaged 13 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.5 steals. With great size at his position, standing at 6-foot-5, the Spurs draft a player in which they know what they are going to get – a distributor and a shooter.

Although his field goal percentage is not great, it doesn’t tell the whole story. Nearly half of his shots made are from range, which he shoots at a nice 39%. Shooting is the most important aspect of modern basketball, and Jerome would be a nice bench piece in San Antonio.

30: Milwaukee Bucks- Cameron Johnson, F, North Carolina

The Bucks need shooting more than anything, and Johnson can shoot the money ball as well as anyone. Posting a 46.5 percent average from deep on almost six attempts per game, he fits the bill for the Bucks. Standing at 6-foot-9 and putting up averages of 16.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.3 steals on 50.8 percent shooting in his junior year, he is a no-brainer to snag this late in the first round.

Concerns for Johnson include his age and also the face that he was not an extremely highly-recruited high school product.
