2019 NBA Mock Draft: Cleveland Cavaliers find taker for JR Smith’s contract
By Mike Graham
Picks 16-20
16. Orlando-Tyler Herro-G-Kentucky-Herro shot the lights out of the ball in workouts and fills an immediate need for the Magic as a shooter.
17. Atlanta-Nickeil Alexander-Walker-G-Virginia Tech-Hawks get a guard who can guard a few positions, not the most athletic, his game though is well rounded, and provides a nice bench piece.
18. Indiana-Goga Bitadze-C-Budancnost-Goga is the pick, though not a need for the Pacers. He provides insurance in case they decide they can’t extend Sabonis, though.
19. San Antonio-Keldon Johnson-G-Kentucky-Johnson is a hard working wing, who will provide some 3-and-D need, and if he can improve his shooting maybe as a starter down the road.
20. Boston-Luka Samanic-F-Petrol Olimpia-Celtics like the Hawks aren’t keeping all these picks, so Boston takes Luka to develop for another year in Europe.
