2018 NBA Mock Draft: Full two-round, postseason mock

Unfortunately, Sexton did not do enough to solidify himself as the top point guard prospect he was coming into the season. However, he did enough to be the second-best true point guard prospect in the class. Sexton plays with a mindset unlike any player I have ever seen. He’s relentless attacking the rim and has more passing vision than he gets credit for. He’s not the uber-athlete that everyone projected, but he’s no slouch athletically, and is an absolute pest defensively.

The Washington Wizards draft room would be going bananas if Sexton fell outside the lottery to them. Their desperate need for a backup point guard is more than clear. John Wall is locked up long-term, but after the end of the lottery you are looking for players that can continue contribute in any way. Sexton may not be a long-term piece for the Wizards because he will probably outplay his back up point guard slot, but wherever Sexton ends up, eventually his coaches will love his gym rat mentality and nonstop desire to compete.

Lonnie Walker had a disappointing freshman season at Miami. He flashed his potential in spurts throughout the season, and may not even hurt his draft stock at all. The 6’4″ explosive leaping wing with a 6’10” wingspan has a good amount of upside. Even though he shot 34.6 percent from the 3-point line, he has very projectable form on his jump shot. He has flashed aggressive defense and shot diversity from deep as well.

The Suns select Walker here trying to upgrade their team on both sides of the ball. Walker seems to have a clear cut path to becoming a 3-and-D role player with potential development. Obviously if his shot does not progress it’s hard to imagine Walker sticking around in the league for too long. With an improved handle and shooting consistency, he could become a real offensive weapon and more than just a role player.
