PF. John Collins. 23. 81. .

At this point in the draft, getting John Collins is a steal for Toronto.

Averaging almost 20 points a game in the ACC, Collins put up an impressive season in the toughest conference of college basketball. Some mock drafts have him in the late lottery, but I have him going here to Toronto.

With uncertainty around Serge Ibaka, Collins could give them minutes at the four next season.

. . C. Ike Anigbogu. 24. 118

In today’s NBA, Anigbogu is your prototypical center who can switch on perimeter players, throw down lobs and play above the rim on both ends of the floor.

Think like a Tristan Thompson 2.0. For Utah, providing a quality backup behind Rudy Gobert is something they need to establish moving forward, especially if they move on from Derrick Favors.

I have Anigbogu at 24, but could very well see him going higher on draft night.

Next: 25-26
