Pick #7 Coby White - Chicago Bulls

Coby White
Coby White

The Bulls are in desperate need of a new point guard, and Coby White could be a potential future star. The 19-year-old excelled at UNC, and he is among the most natural scorers in the draft. White's playmaking skills are currently a weakness, although playing in a Chicago team with few expectations will allow him time to develop.

Pick #8 Cam Reddish - Atlanta Hawks

Cam Reddish's stock has fallen due to an inconsistent season with Duke, although he remains among the most naturally talented individuals in the draft. The 19-year-old is the epitome of positionless basketball, and the Hawks could build something special with Trae Young, John Collins, and Reddish.

Pick #9 Sekou Doumbouya - Washington Wizards

Due to John Wall's enormous contract, the Wizards have no immediate plans to compete, and the team will grab the most talented player remaining on the board. This title falls to Sekou Doumbouya, who enjoyed an excellent season in France's top professional league. While he is unlikely to make an immediate impact in the NBA, many believe he could eventually develop into an All-Star talent.

Pick #10 Jaxson Hayes - Atlanta Hawks

Hayes is a rare athletic big who can make an impact at both ends of the court. He is perhaps the best shot blocker in the draft, and his ability to score consistently at the basket shouldn't be understated. As with Reddish, Hayes is a great fit for a young Atlanta roster.

Pick #11 PJ Washington - Minnesota Timberwolves

Washington is a 42% shooter from three-point range, while his 7-3 wingspan allows him to be disruptive on the defensive end. The Timberwolves need to add talented young shooters around KAT, and Washington would be a great start.

Pick #12 Nassir Little - Charlotte Hornets

Little is coming off an underwhelming season with North Carolina in which he averaged just 18 minutes per game. The 19-year-old's shooting is worrisome, but his all-around game is expected to translate well to the NBA. This time last year he was projected as a top-5 pick, and while he has fallen down the board, Charlotte will be getting a player with tremendous upside.
