NBA Mock Draft 4.0: Detroit Pistons drop to 6th, Bulls and Kings move up
Pistons Mock Draft 4.0: Picks No. 27-30
Center. Neemias Queta. 147. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Utah State / Brooklyn Nets. 27
The Nets could use a shot blocker to eventually replace DeAndre Jordan and Queta is one of the best in the draft.
The Nets could use some additional rim protection and Queta can provide it, though there are questions about the level of competition he’s faced as well as his ability to switch defensively.
Kentucky/ Philadelphia 76ers. Isaiah Jackson. 28. player. 93. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Forward
Jackson is a long power forward/center who could provide some shot blocking off the bench, especially if the 76ers don’t retain Dwight Howard.
He has high-ceiling upside even though he is raw, so he’d be a nice get here for Philly, who have built their squad around long and tenacious defenders.
Pick Analysis. 29. 66. Scouting Report. Guard. Gonzaga / Phoenix Suns. Joel Ayayi. player
The Suns would love to add another versatile winner to their team, and Ayayi has won more games than just about any player in the draft.
He is a tough defender, can do a little of everything and would help just about any team in the NBA off the bench.
The Suns could actually use him now, as they are struggling with guard depth after Chris Paul’s untimely injury in the playoffs.
30. Scouting Report. Virginia / Utah Jazz. Trey Murphy III. player. 118. Pick Analysis. Guard/ Small Forward
Murphy is a big shooting guard/small forward who will help keep the Jazz near the top of the league in 3-point shooting.
He could be a nice bench scorer, and a guy who could replace the 3-point shooting they are likely to lose in free agency.
