Continue ReadingThe 2023 NBA Draft concluded over the summer. Here’s who we think things would look if an NBA Draft took place solely with Wisconsin prospects in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 classes…
11. Orlando Magic – Jamarion Batemon Jamarion Batemon 6'3" | CG Milwaukee Academy of Science | 2025 State #174 Nation WI (Milwaukee Academy of Science)
The Magic went with Jett Howard in the real draft. Why not get another plus-length shot maker in Batemon, who has in-the-gym range and also provides some shutdown ability on defense?
12. Oklahoma City Thunder – Juan Guerrero Hernandez Juan Guerrero Hernandez 6'3" | CG Grafton | 2025 State #189 Nation WI (Grafton)
The Thunder are very light on guards off the bench. Guerrero Hernandez gives OKC some firepower and athletic game-changing ability. Could be a big steal here as the Grafton product has some of the best guard measurables in the state.
13. Toronto Raptors – Jack Daugherty Jack Daugherty 6'8" | PF Brookfield Central | 2024 State #311 Nation WI (Brookfield Central)
Toronto has plenty of size and muscle up front. They need a combo forward like Daugherty who can stretch the floor and upgrade their outside shooting.
14. New Orleans Pelicans – Deuce Burkes Deuce Burkes 6'3" | PG Milwaukee Academy Of Science | 2026 State WI (Milwaukee Academy of Science)
CJ McCollum is 31 years old. Time to go get that next floor general/scoring combo guard who can create for the likes of Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram.
15. Atlanta Hawks – Jaquan Johnson Jaquan Johnson 5'10" | PG Pius XI | 2024 State WI (Pius XI)
With Trae Young at the center of numerous trade talks and perhaps being unhappy in Atlanta, the Hawks should get the best point guard available in Johnson. That’s what they did in 2023, taking Kobe Bufkin out of Michigan. Johnson fits Atlanta’s uptempo style.
16. Utah Jazz – Aaron Womack Aaron Womack 6'3" | SF Dominican | 2025 State #228 Nation WI (Dominican)
The Jazz took Will Hornseth Will Hornseth 6'8" | PF De Pere | 2024 State #208 Nation WI (De Pere) earlier in round one. Think Utah looks shooting guard here. Womack is a plus-length, high-upside sniper that could hit big in a few years.
17. Los Angeles Lakers – Stevie Clark Stevie Clark 6'6" | SF Oshkosh North | 2024 State #322 Nation WI (Oshkosh North)
Lebron isn’t going to be around forever. The Lakers snag an aggressive, high motor small forward in Clark who’s fallen a bit despite being the best three-level scorer for a handful of picks now.
18. Miami Heat – Tim Franks Tim Franks 6'5" | SG Homestead | 2024 State WI (Homestead)
Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson are on the trade block. Assuming the Heat move one or both, they’ll need a shooter. Can’t find a better catch and shoot guard in the state than Franks.
19. Golden State Warriors – Jake Hansen Jake Hansen 6'1" | SG Wauwatosa West | 2025 State #331 Nation WI (Wauwatosa West)
The Warriors like put four shooters on the floor. Golden State gets Hansen, who can come off the bench and continue to light it up.
20. Houston Rockets – Will Garlock Will Garlock 6'11" | C Middleton | 2025 State #204 Nation WI (Middleton)
The Rockets grabbed Xzavion Mitchell Xzavion Mitchell 6'6" | SF Oshkosh North | 2025 State #119 Nation WI (Oshkosh) earlier in round one. Think they continue to beef up that front line with the 6-foot-11 Garlock.
