player. 29. The San Antonio Spurs need a center to rely on moving forward. Luckily, Bruno Fernando has the upside to provide that. Fernando has a thick frame and all the tools to be a double-double machine in the NBA. His powerful put-backs would add a nice jolt of energy for San Antonio. A defense-first mentality makes him an intimidating rim protector down low, where he averaged 1.9 blocks per game this season at Maryland. He’s still offensively raw, so the Spurs will hope to work their magic and add him to their list of late-round steals.. Center. San Antonio Spurs. Bruno Fernando. 29

Power Forward. Milwaukee Bucks. Nazreon Reid. 30. player. 89. The Milwaukee Bucks could use some frontcourt depth, and Nazreon Reid adds versatility using his NBA-ready frame to create for himself and others, from both the high and low post. He’s shown flashes of a 3-point shot, but will have to improve on his 33.3 percent rate he showed this season at LSU in order for him to become a more reliable threat. His lack of defense is a real concern, but his offensive productivity has the potential to counter it. This is a strong pick this late in the draft.
