5). Utah Jazz (via NY): C Udoka Azubuike, Kansas

Bane is a great shooter, and he defends, too. He could be an excellent wing player on an emergent Memphis team that traded into this spot. Grade: A+

7). New York Knicks (via MIN): C Daniel Oturu, Minnesota

Nwora, is rated in the 94th percentile last season as a spot-up shooter and should be a plug-and-play wing for the Bucks next to Giannis Antetokounmpo. Not only good value, but a good pick. Grade: A
