2018 NBA Draft Reactions (46-60)

Keita Bates-Diop (Ohio State), Malik Newman (Kansas), Shake Milton (SMU), De'Anthony Melton (Southern Cal), Brandon McCoy (UNLV) still out there.

46) Houston Rockets -- PG De'Anthony Melton (Southern Cal)
They need a confident ball handler and passer at this position, if he's reliable with the ball he might catch on for them.

47) LA Lakers -- SG Sviatoslav Mykhailuk (Kansas)
He was streaky at Kansas, if he can settle down he can stick in the NBA (but I'm skeptical).

48) Minnesota Timberwolves -- PF Keita Bates-Diop (Ohio State)
Seems like a good pick for the Wolves (except that I don't expect Thibs to play a 2nd round rookie).

49) San Antonio Spurs -- PF Chimezie Metu (Southern Cal)
Good size, if he works hard he can be useful for the Spurs.

50) Indiana Pacers -- PF Alize Johnson (Missouri State)
He was a 1st round prospect in mock drafts all year long, not sure why he slipped recently. Either he was overrated to begin with or the Pacers got themselves a steal.

51) New Orleans Pelicans -- PG Tony Carr (Penn State)
Pelicans need all the wing scoring they can get, if he can score then he can get minutes.

52) Utah Jazz -- SF Vincent Edwards (Purdue)
I don't know Edwards. The only senior drafted?

53) Oklahoma City Thunder -- SG Devon Hall (Virginia)
Virginia players are smart and disciplined, probably G-League filler.

54) Dallas Mavs -- PG Shake Milton (SMU)
I liked Milton, he's a great pick up for the Mavs.

55) Charlotte Hornets -- SF Arnoldas Kubolka (Italy)
Great Euro stash pick.

56) Philadelphia Sixers -- PF Raymond Spalding (Louisville)
Nice player, not a lot of room in Philly, probably a G-Leaguer.

57) Oklahoma City Thunder -- SF Kevin Hervey (UT-Arlington)
Another prospect that had some 1st round buzz throughout the year. Feels like he has a decent shot at catching on with the Thunder.

58) Denver Nuggets -- C Thomas Welsh (UCLA)
Hard to imagine cracking the roster with the Nuggets.

59) Phoenix Suns -- George King (Colorado)
Don't know King. Been a great influx of talent for the Suns, feels like King is a G-Leaguer.

60) Philadelphia Sixers -- PF Kostas Antetokounpo (Dayton)
Yeah, sure, why not? Knicks already whiffed on an Antetokounpo, Sixers got enough talent to give him a shot.
