NBA Draft: Luka Doncic rises to first in 2018 NBA Redraft

2018 NBA Redraft: Just missed the cut

Players listen in no particular order

Jevon Carter, PG, West Virginia – An on-ball terror who never figured out the offensive end, Carter is a solid player who could fill a backcourt spot for a number of teams.

Troy Brown Jr., SF, Oregon – A rangy wing with good tools, Brown is a decent enough defender but the shot has to come around to make him a viable rotation player.

Mo Bamba, C, Texas – A deep center rotation, revolving coaches and a serious fight with COVID have all held Bamba back. He might never recover, but the upside that made him a top-10 pick is still there.

Jae’Sean Tate, SF, Ohio State – Another undrafted player, Tate finally entered the league at the start of last year and made the All-Rookie first team. Whether his numbers were a result of frequent playing time on a team always playing in garbage time or the foundation of something real is to be determined.

Drew Eubanks, C, Oregon State – Eubanks has found a very small role as a backup center on the Spurs. His metrics all look good, so perhaps there is a player ready to handle larger minutes in there somewhere.

Hamidou Diallo, SG, Kentucky – Diallo’s athleticism is off the charts, and this past season he began to leverage that to help him in other areas. He is still inefficient, foul-prone and jumpy, but he also might be finally taking the step towards becoming a starter.

Alize Johnson, PF, Missouri State – After two nondescript seasons in Indiana, Johnson broke onto the national scene with a handful of big-time performances for a Brooklyn Nets team wracked by injuries. His energy level is incredibly high, and he has a shot at making the Nets’ full-health rotation this season.
