Top NBA Draft Prospects Still Available After the First Round

Depth was a buzzword on Tuesday from NBA draft analysts assessing the talent stretching well beyond the lottery and into the late first round.

There are still good finds remaining as the second round starts Wednesday night.

Here's a sampling of the top value picks left on the draft board:

G Meleek Thomas, Arkansas

More than a sidekick to Kings first-round pick Darius Acuff at Arkansas. Thomas is a 3-point slinger that locks and loads with a quick trigger release. Could shoot the ball in a phone booth with his fluid upper half. Hit 41.5 % from range on 6.3 attempts per 36 minutes, with around a 70/30 split between assisted versus self-created makes.

C Henri Veesaar, North Carolina

Forgive his two pedestrian seasons at Arizona, Veesaar has psuedo-stretch 5 skills as a 7-footer with pronounced shooting promise and a refined floor game.

G Richie Saunders, BYU

A ready-made role player with the tertiary reps and wherewithal to slot in and coexist in any halfcourt setting as an ancillary off-guard. Knockdown 3-point shooter, particularly from the corner (46.2%).

G Jack Kayil, Alba Berlin (Germany)

A drive-and-kick ace and steady-state facilitator with a pretty jump shot, but he needs to add strength and mass to stick.

G Isaiah Evans, Duke

Among the first-round stunners, it was a true surprise to see Evans on the board at No. 31. Armed with an alluring combination of stature (a whisker under 6-foot-7 with wingspan of nearly 6-10), shot-making, and stamina, Evans is one of the few bona fide off-guards in a draft dominated by lead guards.

F Baba Miller, Cincinnati

Lanky Spainiard with contours of a guard's skillset, a flow-on effect of growing nine inches as a high schooler and transitioning his game from the perimeter to the painted area. Developmental prospect worth a lottery-ticket flier at 6-11 with a 7-2 wingspan.

F Trevon Brazile, Arkansas

Will be a 24-year-old rookie. But who wouldn't buy based purely on athletic upside? A quick-twitch, 225-pound athlete standing at 6'10" barefoot with plus-six inches to his arms. Outstanding maneuverability end-to-end. Displays a sort of balletic mobility in every facet of the game.

G Jaden Bradley, Arizona

Perpetually cool, calm, and collected. On the short side at 6-4 but has a 6-6 wingspan. Can defend, facilitate and be a backup point guard out of the gates but concerns about finish rate and 3-point inconsistent drag draft stock.
