Leandro Bolmaro. 26. player. 18. . Guard. Boston Celtics

Much like the earlier selection by the Boston Celtics, they have too many picks and not enough roster spots so taking an international player how may not come over just yet makes some sense if they do not move some or all of these picks.

Leandro Bolmaro is a 6’7” guard who is a heady passer but lacks a consistent jump shot, significantly limiting his potential at the moment. He excels off the ball, essential on a team loaded with ball-dominant players. By the time he is ready to truly contribute it may be time for Kemba Walker to be gone so even that may work.

Robert Woodard II. 27. player. 27. . Forward. New York Knicks

Robert Woodard II is exactly the kind of player the New York Knicks should be looking to add in addition to Tyrese Haliburton. He would bring a winning mentality and works exceptionally hard. He averaged 42.9 percent from 3-point range this season and is capable of defending multiple positions.

The fit works well for him. He needs to be brought along with a player who can help him thrive. If the Knicks indeed draft Haliburton he would have just that. Woodard also passes well, helping the ball movement for a team that certainly needs even more that to thrive. If his shooting continues to improve this could be a steal.
