14. Dwight Powell (Originally Picked 45th)

His numbers (7.6 points and 4.5 rebounds for his career) aren't robust, but Dwight Powell has been a reliable effort player and rim runner for a decade. And that's something that brings real value for a team with a prolific pick-and-roll handler such as Luka Dončić.

Over the course of his career, the Dallas Mavericks are plus-1.5 points per 100 possessions with Powell on the floor and minus-0.7 when he's off.

13. Jusuf Nurkić (Originally Picked 16th)

Injuries have limited Jusuf Nurkić to just 38.3 appearances over the last four seasons, but since he joined the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2016-17 season, he's been one of the league's more productive bigs when healthy.

As a Blazer, he has put up 14.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 blocks.

12. Bogdan Bogdanović (Originally Picked 27th)

Bogdan Bogdanović played five seasons overseas before joining the NBA, so he was more experienced than most rookies. And that's showed up in his steady play and production.

Over six NBA seasons with the Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks, Bogdanović has averaged 14.2 points in 28.5 minutes while shooting 38.7 percent from deep.

11. Jerami Grant (Originally Picked 39th)

Jerami Grant's evolution from second-round pick to three-and-D specialist to 20-point-per-game scorer is impressive.

After averaging 9.3 points and shooting 34.7 percent from three over his first six seasons, he's at 20.7 with a 37.2 three-point percentage over his last three.
