2019 NBA Mock Draft: Cleveland Cavaliers gamble on traits with 26th pick
By Mike Graham
Picks 11-15
11. LA Lakers-Jaxson Hayes-C-Texas-Upside pick here for the Lakers, but is this pick staying in LA? iIf it does, Jaxson Hayes is a rim runner, who is developing as a force on defense. Needs development so LeBron and company need to be patient.
12. Charlotte-Nassir Little-G/F-North Carolina–Michael Jordan selects a former Tar Heel in Nassir Little. If Kemba Walker leaves, this team will be a lot different next season.
13. Miami-Goga Bitadez-C-Budacnost-Here is where the picks can go anywhere, Goga Bitadze here, while not a maven on defense, offers offensive promise to take here for the Heat.
14. Boston-Kevin Porter Jr.-G-USC-Celtics may not have this pick or keep this pick depending on the Anthony Davis chase. If they keep it, Kevin Porter Jr. was a former top recruit who fell out of favor at USC. If in the right system, maybe he grows and flourishes.
15. Detroit-PJ Washington-F-Kentucky-Measurements will be big for him because P.J. Washington can flash as a spot up shooter and rebounder, shows defensive flashes. Ready made to play now for a Pistons team who needs to keep improving if they want back in the playoffs next year.
