Small Forward

15th Pick – Kyle Anderson

Anderson is one of the most unique prospects in the draft. Despite being 6’8″, Anderson has the ability to be a teams primary playmaker due to his exceptional passing ability. Anderson can also shoot the three, and with his size and length, he has the potential to develop a solid post game.

Anderson can also contribute on the defensive end of the floor, as his length will offer constant headaches to opposing forwards. Anderson’s 7’2″ wingspan will cause havoc in the passing lanes, as well as making it incredibly difficult for opposing wings to shoot over.

Alternative options include: Rodney Hood, T.J. Warren

43rd Pick – Thanasis Antetekounmpo

Much like his older brother, Giannis of the Milwaukee Bucks, Thanasis is an incredibly athletic wing option. Antetekounmpo will run the floor and provide explosive finishing, while on the other end, he has enormous defensive potential.

Alternative options include: Damien Inglis, DeAndre Daniels
