2018 NBA Draft Reactions (31-45)

31) Phoenix Suns -- PG Elie Okobo (France)
Lot of buzz about this kid, France is awash in young talent these days. The Suns are killing it tonight, this is a another great pick.

32) Memphis Grizzlies -- PG Jevon Carter (West Virginia)
He had some moments at WVU. The Grizzlies ran through just about every available PG last year, Carter has a good shot at being their 2nd string PG.

33) Dallas Mavs -- PG Jalen Brunson (Villanova)
He was impressive at Villanova, could be a nice 2nd string PG behind Dennis Smith.

34) Atlanta Hawks -- PG Devonte Graham (Kansas)
Another undersized Big 12 PG? The Hawks have a type, I guess. I would've thought Gary Trent Jr would've been good trade bait for the Warriors here.

35) Orlando Magic -- SF Melvin Frazier (Tulane)
Frazier had some good buzz at Tulane, another athletic SF for the Magic.

36) New York Knicks -- C Mitchell Robinson (USA)
Knicks just lost Kyle O'Quinn, could be losing Kanter, too. This gives them a shot at some size down low.

37) Sacramento Kings -- G Gary Trent Jr (Duke)
Another nice youngster to throw in the mix in Sacto.

38) Philadelphia Sixers -- G Khryi Thomas (Creighton)
I thought he was a 1st round talent, great pick up for the Sixers.

39) LA Lakers -- SF Isaac Bonga (Germany)
A good Euro to stash for next year.

40) Brooklyn Nets -- SF Rodion Kurucs (Barcelona)
Plenty of room in the Nets rotation for another Euro winger. Good pick, he should play right away.

41) Orlando Magic -- SF Jarred Vanderbilt (Kentucky)
Hell of an athlete, though I question his talent for the game of basketball. He can move well, play defense and grab rebounds, so he'll be a useful practice player with some good upside.

42) Detroit Pistons -- SG Bruce Brown (Miami)
Could be a low cost rotation guy for the Pistons, considering this is the only draft pick and they have no money for free agents.

43) Denver Nuggets -- PF Justin Jackson (Maryland)
The Nuggets are already well-stocked there, feels like he's a G-League guy for them.

44) Washington Wizards -- PG Issuf Sanon (Serbia)
Either a Euro stash or just Summer League filler, feels like the Wizards have plenty of PG depth at the moment.

45) Brooklyn Nets -- SG Hamidou Diallo (Kentucky)
He might bring some wing scoring off the bench (though I wasn't hugely impressed by Diallo's game at Kentucky). He's a Summer League player.
