16. A.J. Davis

A.J. Davis has had an interesting professional career to this point. Prior to appearing in just two games for the Delaware Blue Coats last season, Davis played for the Brisbane Bullets in the Australian National Basketball League. A 6’9″ UCF product, he earned honorable mention All-American Athletic Conference honors in his 2017-18 senior college campaign, and led the Knights in rebounding with 7.6 per game.

15. Zach Hankins

Among the Sixers’ second-round targets in this year’s draft was Xavier big man Zach Hankins. Hankins was part of a pre-draft workout last month that included another undrafted, albeit touted forward in Naz Reid. Had the Sixers not bartered their picks two weeks ago, it’s possible either player could’ve been selected. Now, it’s likely Hankins will be at best a G League stash. That said, he possesses some decent upside for a guy who spent his first four collegiate years playing Division II basketball. Hankins posted 10.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in his lone season at Xavier.

14. Deshon Taylor

Former Fresno State guard Deshon Taylor is a two-time, first-team All-Mountain West Conference player. In his senior campaign last season, he averaged 17.9 points, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game on 44.6 percent shooting.

Taylor signed a contract with the Adelaide 36ers in the Australian Basketball League in May, but is still pursuing an NBA career.
