21. Brooklyn Nets – Michael McNabb Michael McNabb 6'4" | CG Grafton | 2024 State WI (Grafton)
Back to rebuilding mode for the Nets. With two picks back to back and needs across the board, think you start with the best available player in McNabb, a big combo guard that can do a little bit of everything.
22. Brooklyn Nets – Latrevion Fenderson Latrevion Fenderson 6'4" | SF The Prairie School | 2025 State WI (The Prairie School)
Now is where you go young and stash a prospect away from the future. Fenderson is likely going reclassify to 2026, where he could be the No. 1 player in the state.
23. Portland Trailblazers – M.J. Stackhouse M.J. Stackhouse 6'7" | PF Kenosha Indian Trail | 2024 State WI (Kenosha Indian Trail)
Portland grabbed Yusef Gray Jr. Yusef Gray Jr. 6'4" | SG West Allis Central | 2026 State WI with their first pick at No. 3 overall. The Trailblazers have a hole at the power forward spot and grab Stackhouse, who’s an athletic shot blocker and force above the rim with a budding face-up game.
24. Sacramento Kings – Bennett Basich Bennett Basich 6'3" | SG Arrowhead | 2024 State WI (Arrowhead)
The Kings should be looking for depth and bench players who can come in and make a difference. Basich is arguably the toughest player in the state and somebody who can defend and knock down his open shots. Basich’s blue collar mentality wears off on all of his teammates.
25. Memphis Grizzlies – Nolan Minessale Nolan Minessale 6'5" | SF Marquette | 2024 State WI (Marquette)
Could be a big potential steal here. Great value for Memphis at this spot. Not only do the Grizzlies need a replacement for Dillon Brooks, they get a high-upside prospect in Minessale, who’s arguably the best leaper in the state that’s quickly developing his perimeter skillset as well.
26. Indiana Pacers – Dupree Fletcher Jr. Dupree Fletcher Jr. 5'10" | PG Milwaukee Carmen | 2024 State WI (Milwaukee Carmen)
The Pacers took Amari McCottry Amari McCottry 6'5" | SF St. Thomas More | 2024 State #304 Nation WI with the seventh overall pick. After signing Tyrese Haliburton to a massive deal, why not get an insurance policy as well. Indiana could use some more firepower from the point guard spot off the bench. They get Fletcher, who’s one of the state’s top scoring and creating point guards.
27. Charlotte Hornets – Andrew Rader Andrew Rader 6'10" | PF Notre Dame Academy | 2025 State WI (Notre Dame)
The Hornets got Kon II Knueppel Kon II Knueppel 6'6" | SG Wisconsin Lutheran | 2024 State #15 Nation WI with the second overall pick. They’ll be looking to get a frontcourt player. Rader might be one of the state’s best kept secrets right now. The Notre Dame product has been out due to injury, but he’s a big, physical, and mobile post prospect with some skill at 6-foot-9.
28. Utah Jazz – Evan Anderson (Onalaska)
The Jazz already have Aaron Womack Aaron Womack 6'3" | SF Dominican | 2025 State #228 Nation WI and Will Hornseth Will Hornseth 6'8" | PF De Pere | 2024 State #208 Nation WI . With their third pick, go with the best on the board. Right now, that’s Anderson, who’s a sneaky athletic two-guard with all-around scoring ability.
29. Indiana Pacers – Lamont Hamilton Lamont Hamilton 5'10" | PG Racine St. Catherine's | 2026 State WI (Racine St. Catherine’s)
McCottry and Fletcher make up Indiana’s draft class. With their third pick in the first round, the Pacers go young and see if they can hit the jackpot. A scoring point guard with a killer instinct, Hamilton can absolutely fill it up and has a knack for the big shot.
30. Los Angeles Clippers – Myles Herro Myles Herro 6'2" | PG Whitnall | 2025 State #237 Nation WI (Whitnall)
The Clippers just haven’t been able to get over the hump since their big free agent summer that landed them Kawhi Leonhard and Paul George. Not sure Russell Westbrook is the answer at point guard. LA needs a playmaking floor general that can make others around them better.
