Photos: 2016 NBA Mock Draft

2. LAKERS: Brandon Ingram, forward, 6-9, 196, Duke – He’s exactly what the Lakers need. He’s NBA-ready, can shoot and defend, and should be the right fit for this team.

3. BOSTON: Dragan Bender, forward, 7-1, 225, Croatia — He didn’t play much for Maccabi Tel Aviv, but his length, defensive ability and outside shooting are too intriguing to pass up. Another Kristaps Porzingis?

4. PHOENIX: Buddy Hield, guard, 6-4, 214, Oklahoma — A four-year player who can contribute right away. He’s an incredible outside shooter.

5. MINNESOTA: Kris Dunn, guard, 6-4, 205, Providence – The Timberwolves need help at point guard. Dunn is a really good defender, but must work on his three-point shot.

6. NEW ORLEANS: Jamal Murray, guard, 6-5, 201, Kentucky -- The Pelicans need a shooter to help spread the floor for Anthony Davis.

7. DENVER. Domantas Sabonis, Gonzaga, forward-center, 6-10, 231, Gonzaga — He’s tough-nosed and a strong rebounder who can play some center in a small-ball lineup.

8. SACRAMENTO: Jaylen Brown, guard, 6-7, 222, California – Brown has the size and strength to be a solid wing player for the Kings.

9. TORONTO: Deyonta Davis, forward-center, 6-10, 230, Michigan State – He has good size, a nice shooting touch for a big man and is a good rim protector.

10. MILWAUKEE: Jakob Poeltl, center, 7-1, 242, Utah -- Considered the best center in the draft; a physical player.

New Magic Coach Frank Vogel (pictured) could be in charge of:

11. ORLANDO: Furkan Korkmaz, guard, 6-7, 185, Turkish league — He’s just 18, but he can shoot the ball.

12. UTAH: Marquese Chriss (right), forward, 6-10, 225, Washington – The Jazz could use another athlete who has shooting range and can play on the perimeter.

13. PHOENIX: Skal Labissiere, forward-center, 7-0, 216, Kentucky – The Suns like that he is versatile enough to play two positions even, if he has to gain some weight.

14. CHICAGO. Henry Ellenson, forward-center, 6-10, 231, Marquette — He’s a “stretch 4” who can make the outside shot, but has to improve his defense.

15. DENVER: Wade Baldwin, guard, 6-3, 195, Vanderbilt — His ability to be a nice combo guard is what the Nuggets need. He could become a really good shooter.

16. BOSTON: Brice Johnson, forward, 6-9, 230, North Carolina — Coming from a top program doesn’t hurt. He’s a strong rebounder and has a nice mid-range game.

18. DETROIT: Demetrius Jackson, guard, 6-1, 194, Notre Dame — He’s a good athlete who shot well in college.

Will Nuggets Coach Michael Malone (pictured) get a Croatian center?

19. DENVER: Ante Zizic, center, 6-11, 240, Croatia — His size, strength and toughness are too good for the Nuggets to pass on.

20. INDIANA: Cheick Diallo, forward-center, 6-9, 219, Kansas — Though he’s only 19, Diallo has the ability to be a good defender and rebounder.

21. ATLANTA: DeAndre Bembry, guard, 6-6, 210 St. Joseph’s — Bembry is a tremendous athlete, but he needs to improve his shooting.

22. CHARLOTTE: Damian Jones, center, 6-11, 248, Vanderbilt – Jones has an NBA body, is a physical player and a good athlete.

Celtics Coach Brad Stevens (pictured) could use a physical low-post presence:

23. BOSTON: Ivica Zubac, center, 7-1, 265, Croatia — He may be a project, but Zubac is tough, strong and has a nice back-to-the-basket game.

Could 76ers Coach Brett Brown (pictured) get another big man?

24. PHILADELPHIA: Juan Hernangomez, forward, 6-9, 220, Spain — The 76ers might leave him in Europe to develop more, but his game has a good upside.

25. CLIPPERS: Jaron Blossomgame, forward, 6-7, 215, Clemson — The Clippers liked his recent workout. He’s very athletic.

26. PHILADELPHIA: Ben Bentil, forward, 6-9, 235, Providence — Bentil has to work on his outside shooting, but he can play two forward positions.

27. TORONTO: Diamond Stone, center, 6-11, 255, Maryland — Though he has size and is strong, Stone has to work on his skills around the basket.

Will new Suns Coach Earl Watson (pictured) be smiling after drafting?

28. PHOENIX: Petr Cornelie, forward, 6-11, 220, France — The Suns most likely would leave him in Europe for a while to work on his game.

29. SAN ANTONIO: Malachi Richardson, guard, 6-6, 205, Syracuse — Richardson had a really good NCAA tournament to improve his stock.

30. GOLDEN STATE: Zhou Qi, center, 7-2, 209, China — Of course, he must gain weight and strength, but he can score down low and hit three-pointers.
