5 Most underrated prospects in NBA Draft 2019

#2 Luka Samanic (14.6 PPG, 6.6 RPG)

Luka Samanic is a 6'9 Croatian forward who was initially projected to go in the second round of the draft. However, he had an incredible showing at the NBA combine, making him a first round possibility. Samanic is a pretty unknown player, with little to no coverage surrounding him. This, however, says nothing about his talent. Samanic is extremely versatile, and has an excellent shooting touch for someone his size.

At the combine, he scored 13 points in under 20 minutes of play in his very first scrimmage game, turning a lot of heads. He also showed off his agility and vertical at the combine, which compared well against other players at his position. Samanic can also shoot the three pretty well, making him a very interesting prospect for teams that try to stretch out the floor and get a man open on the perimeter.

"I think I can be a threat on the three-point line. I can pass the ball, just spread the floor for the guards." - Luka Samanic

His stats from the EuroLeague last season are pretty impressive, scoring 15 a game and dragging down nearly 7 boards. While he definitely isn't going to be a major player for any team right now, he's a good second option, and can contribute well on limited minutes with teams like the Nets, or 76ers.
