21. Brooklyn Nets – Brice Sensabaugh (Ohio State)

22. Brooklyn Nets – Noah Clowney (Alabama)

23. Portland Trail Blazers – Leonard Miller (NBA G-League Ignite)

24. Sacramento Kings – Kris Murray (Iowa)

25. Memphis Grizzlies – Maxwell Lewis (Pepperdine)

The No. 21-25 range is headlined by two selections from the Brooklyn Nets, which we have taking Sensabaugh and Clowney back-to-back. Sensabaugh is a wing from Ohio State who should be an impact player on both ends of the floor, while Clowney would be Alabama’s second selection, and would give Brooklyn a versatile two-way option in the frontcourt.

We also have Portland landing Miller at No. 23 overall, with the NBA G-League Ignite product then joining Brandon Miller, whom we have the Trail Blazers taking at No. 3. To round out the range, we also have the Kings adding Murray, who would then join brother Keegan Murray in Sacramento, while the Grizzlies add a guard in Lewis at No. 25.
