10. Miami Heat, Karim Lopez, SF, Mexico
11. Toronto Raptors, Kingston Flemings, PG, Houston
12. Memphis Grizzlies, Ian Jackson, SG, St. John’s
A true New York City born and bred shooting guard with a real shooter’s mentality, he’s a perfect “two and tootle-loo” (instead of “one-and-done”) kind of pick.

13. Indiana Pacers, Miikka Muurinen, PF, Finland
14. San Antonio Spurs, Bennett Stirtz, PG, Iowa
Stirtz is fundamentally sound, well-coached and athletically gifted. He’s got a great three point shot, and fits in well for what today’s NBA wants. He can knock down the three ball with ease, and while he already has a strong mid range game, developing that further would only increase his draft stock even higher.
In the 18-team Big Ten, he probably has the highest draft stock of anyone.

15. Milwaukee Bucks, Johann Grunloh, C, Virginia
16. Detroit Pistons, Hannes Steinbach, PF, Washington
17. Boston Celtics, Labaron Philon, PG, Alabama
18. Oklahoma City Thunder via Philadelphia 76ers, Alijah Anders, SG, USC
19. Dallas Mavericks, Koa Peat, SF, Arizona
20. Atlanta Hawks, Roddy Gayle, G, Michigan
The man who transferred from Ohio State to Michigan, Gayle has a story that embodies the theory behind Jerry Seinfeld’s “in sports you are rooting for clothes” routing.
Go here for our interview with Gayle.
21. Golden State Warriors, Matt Able, SG, NC State
22. Oklahoma City Thunder via L.A. Clippers, Jayden Quaintance, PF, Kentucky

30. Washington via Oklahoma City, Zvonimir Ivisic, Illinois
The Illini offense runs through his twin brother Tomi, but big Z brings a lot to the table as well.
