2020 NBA Mock Draft: Picks #21 and 22

21. player. Scouting Report. Shooting Guard / Arizona. Josh Green. Philadelphia 76ers. 93. Pick Analysis

The 76ers may be looking to make big changes after another disappointing season, with Tobias Harris and Al Horford most likely to be the fall guys.

They will look to add high upside talent, and Josh Green definitely falls into that category, though he has boom-or-bust potential.

He was once one of the most highly rated young players in the country, but his shot fell off at Arizona.

He has a huge wingspan, can guard multiple positions and would potentially give Philly the best perimeter defense in the NBA if he pans out.

Pick Analysis. Shooting Guard / Duke. 73. Denver Nuggets. Cassius Stanley. 22. player. Scouting Report

The Denver Nuggets are deep and talented and will be battling for the second seed in the loaded Western Conference for years to come.

This gives them the luxury of taking a chance on a guy like Cassius Stanley from Duke. Stanley has considerable potential and athletic ability but has yet to put it all together in his first season at Duke.

Stanley isn’t a great shooter or volume scorer but he can defend multiple positions and pulls down a fair number of rebounds for a guard.

Stanley was once a five-star recruit, so this would be a perfect high upside choice for a team that is already good and very deep.

Stanley stands at 6-foot-6, so has plus size for his position and should be able to guard multiple spots for the Nuggets.
