Very arguably the best shooter in this draft, Cameron Johnson takes his talents to Oklahoma City, a franchise in desperate need of floor spacing for rim attackers like Russell Westbrook. Small forward isn’t necessarily an area of need for the Thunder, but the need for shooting highly outweighs positional needs.
Prospect Rank: 21
At 22nd overall, Keldon Johnson is a great value for the Celtics. Known as a streaky shooter, Johnson has shown the ability to put the ball in the bucket and pour in threes. Talent is a major need for a retooling Boston team, and Johnson has loads of it.
Prospect Rank: 18
Ja Morant doesn’t have too many weaknesses, but one of them is three point shooting. Adding Tyler Herro to the backcourt could help space the floor for players like Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. to get to the bucket and focus more on the pick-and-roll.
Prospect Rank: 23
Philadelphia would love to see Tyler Herro or Cameron Johnson on the board here to help space the floor, but they have to settle for K.Z. Okpala of Stanford. Okpala can shoot the ball well for a 6ft 9 inch forward and can provide lead scoring off the bench for the Sixers.
Prospect Rank: 24
The Trailblazers have a very solid starting lineup and bench, but power forward could be a place that the team wants to improve in. There have been rumors that Nicolas Claxton could go as high as in the lottery, so if he falls this far Portland should jump all over him.
