15. Denver Nuggets

player. 73. Nuggets bolstered their back court with Beasley, now they can put Johnson behind Faried. PF. North Carolina. Brice Johnson . 15

16. Boston Celtics

16. player. 18. Could spend some minutes at the three, good role player. SG. Michigan State. Denzel Valentine

17. Memphis Grizzlies

211. Insurance if Conley bolts, some quality help if he doesn’t. PG. Washington. Dejounte Murray . 17. player

18. Detroit Pistons

64. Depth although the Pistons would probably have liked to find more shooting. SG. Syracuse. Malachi Richardson . 18. player

19. Denver Nuggets

19. player. 73. Team with its third pick in first round now looking at a project but a good defensive player. SG. France. Timothe Luwawu

20. Indiana Pacers

Skal Labissiere . 20. player. 100. Mahimi and Jordan Hill are free agents, Pacers need a center bad. PF. Kentucky

21. Atlanta Hawks

player. 125. Could not talk myself into a big man in this spot, instead the Hawks look to the gap at the wing. SF. Baylor. Taurean Prince . 21

22. Charlotte Hornets

Stephen Zimmerman Jr. . 22. player. 170. Brogdon would be the highest rated win they talked too at this point. So I am going with the white big guy who might block shots. C. UNLV

23. Boston Celtics

UNLV. Patrick McCaw . 23. player. 18. UNLV goes back to back as Boston looks for insurance if Evan Turner walks. SG

24. Philadelphia 76ers

Anthony Barber . 24. player. 93. The 76ers will be trying to read the Clippers’ mind here. My guess is they grab point guard here and SG at the next spot. PG. NC State

25. Los Angeles Clippers

PF. France. Guerschon Yabusele . 25. player. 77. Meanwhile the Clippers were actually looking for post depth

26. Philadelphia 76ers

SF. Saint Joseph's. DeAndre' Bembry . 26. player. 93. Gives the 76ers some more flexibility

27. Toronto Raptors

81. There is your DeRozan insurance. SG. Michigan. Caris LeVert . 27. player

28. Phoenix Suns

player. 66. Best Player Available. C. Maryland. Diamond Stone . 28

29. San Antonio Spurs

PF. Vanderbilt. Damian Jones . 29. player. 29. I don’t know what Duncan will do, but the Spurs need a big man behind him

30. Golden State Warriors

C. Australia. Thon Maker . 30. player. 41. If Festus Ezeli walks, there is something there

Next: Where will Ewing's Chance Come?

So that is the view from the first round so far. If any trades happen or some team should suddenly fall in love with one player or another then a new version will be made.
