Post Lottery Mock Draft: The New Orleans Pelicans Get Big Wing at 13
2020 NBA Mock Draft: Picks #17 and 18
Minnesota Timberwolves. Aleksej Pokusevski. player. 86. Pick Analysis. Scouting Report. Power Forward / Olympiacos B (Greece). 17
The Timberwolves will swing for the fences on upside with this pick and Aleksej Pokusevski has plenty of it.
There are a lot of playoff teams hoping that Pokusevski falls into the bottom of the first round, as he is the perfect player to stash overseas and develop.
He has an intriguing set of skills and is already a gifted playmaker and passer, but needs to put on strength to be able to compete at power forward even though he is a seven-footer.
player. 79. Scouting Report. Guard / Kentucky. Dallas Mavericks. Pick Analysis. Tyrese Maxey. 18
The Mavericks could use a slasher to go along Luka Doncic and Maxey could end up being one of the better pure scorers in this draft.
He’s a bit undersized, but it won’t matter because Dallas is huge just about everywhere, and Maxey has the physical strength to make up for his lack of height.
He’s one of the few guys this late who could come in and contribute right away, and could be a deadly scoring option off the Mavs’. bench.
