2022 NBA Mock Draft: Pick #15-20

#15-OKC via Clippers

Mark Williams: Center, Duke

A guy who can get interior buckets for the Thunder.

#16-Rockets via Nets

Kennedy Chandler: Point Guard, Tennessee

It makes sense to get a point guard who can set up all of the scorers the Rockets have.

#17-Pacers via Cleveland

Walker Kessler: Center, Auburn

A shot blocking force who would replace Sabonis’ toughness and give the Pacers two plus rim protectors. He’s a nice complement to Myles Turner.

#18-Minnesota Timberwolves

Ousmane Dieng: Forward, NZ Breakers

An athletic forward to develop.

#19-Chicago Bulls

Dyson Daniels: Guard, G-League

If Daniels were to fall this far, the Bulls would be ecstatic and take him regardless of fit.

#20-Spurs via Raptors

E.J. Liddell: Power forward, Ohio State

Has good size and can shoot the 3-ball.
