19. Spurs- Grant Williams, F, Tennessee
Stock Trend from Pre-Tournament Mock: +8
The middle of the first round is dominated by power forwards, and the third one off the board is Williams to San Antonio. Despite a playoff berth, San Antonio has to be looking ahead. LaMarcus Aldridge is certainly not getting younger, and this seems as good a time as any to search for his eventual replacement.
In addition, Williams should be ready to make an impact off the bench immediately. He likely won’t become a star, but you know what you’re getting out of him on a nightly basis.
20. Pacers- Kevin Porter Jr., G, Southern California
Stock Trend from Pre-Tournament Mock: -3
Tyreke Evans’ time in Indiana has not turned out as well as Evans’ stint in Memphis did. Thus, the team will look for another bench solution. This is where Porter Jr. comes in. Despite failing to meet his top-ten pick expectations from the beginning of the season, he managed to pull his awful first half of the season together and posted decent numbers as a Trojan.
