#39 Grizz > Jaylen Wells (Wing)
Jaylen Wells, 6'7" wing, Washington State. He has good positional size and shot 41.7% from 3 last season, which will catch a lot of teams’ eyes. He’s an elite spo-up shooter who could put the ball on the floor a little to create for himself. The question is simply can he defend well enough to stick on the court for the Grizzlies (a team that does need shooting). He has to get a little stronger and show more defensive grit, but if Memphis can bring that out of him they’ve got a role-playing shooter who could be with them a while.
#40 Suns > Ighodaro (PF/C) Drewski mentioned this guy for the C's
Ighodaro is probably the best passing big man in this draft — get him the ball at either elbow and he can find cutters, be there for dribble handoffs, or just show off his feel for the game. Ighodaro also is a solid defender who can switch out on the perimeter as needed. That said, he is not an impressive rim protector, not a great rebounder, and doesn’t space the floor on offense. He’s not a traditional big man, but we’ll see if he can find a spot on the Suns roster and if Mike Budenholzer can find a way to use him.
NYKs traded this pick to POR for #34 Kolek (PG)
The No. 40 pick, which the Knicks just got from the Thunder (and is being taken on the board by the Trail Blazers but hasn’t been theirs for a while) is now going to the Phoenix Suns. The Knicks are getting picks 51 and 56 in this draft out of the deal
#41 76ers > Adem Bona (C) So when Embiid is on the bench you'll have to contend w/ Bona!
He has the potential to be an energy big off the bench and play a role from opening night. Think of the impact of former Sixth Man of The Year Ronny Turiaf: out-hustles everyone, he may be slightly undersized but is explosively athletic guy who sets strong screens, rolls hard to the rim and can finish alley-oops. He was the Pac-12 (RIP) Defensive Player of the Year. Philly fans are going to love him and his hustle on both ends of the court. He plays at 100 MPH, but with the Bruins that led to foul trouble and turnovers that he has to clean up if he wants to see the court for Nick Nurse and the 76ers. Also, he has no shooting range and that includes from the free throw line.
#42 Hornets > K.J. Simpson (G)
One of the most improved players in the NCAA last season, he’s an entertaining player to watch because he hits tough shots and seems to come through in the clutch. Does that translate to the NBA, especially for an undersized guard? He works well on and off the ball and he shot 43.4% from beyond the arc last season — if he can shoot like that at the next level for the Hornets his chances of making the roster and sticking go up significantly. He profiles as a backup guard and there may be a role for him in Charlotte.

#43 Heat > N Durisic (Wing) > Trade: Miami and Atlanta flip picks 43 and 44, with some cash involved for the Heat.
His stock rose when Nikola Topic was out for Mega Basket (Adriatic League) — that put the ball in Djurisic’s hands and he thrived. He has NBA size and good athleticism, is good off the pick-and-roll and showed real passing skills in addition to getting buckets. He likely spends another year or two overseas — he needs to improve his 3-point shot (30.5% last season) and his defense — but this is not a draft and stash player who never comes over. He’s just 20 and is going to be in the NBA at some point, Atlanta fans are just going to have to be patient.
#44 Heat > Proposed Trade > this Rockets pick was traded to Hawks and again traded to Heat
Pick is in > Pelle Larsson (Wing) If you can't have Scheierman there's always Larsson as I discussed w/ Drewsi!
He was a big part of the Wildcats strong regular season (let’s not talk about the tournament). Larsson is catch-and-shoot specialist who shot 39.7% from 3 during his college career, will pump-fake closeouts, put the ball on the floor and get to the rim. He is fairly athletic and hustles on the defensive end. He is not a high-end player at the next level but has solid role player written all over him, and at this point in the draft that’s a solid pickup for the Heat, who tend to hit on these kinds of picks.

#45 Raptors > This pick was traded earlier in the day and the Kings were picking for the Raptors. Shead is one of the best, most disruptive defenders in the nation. He’s a vocal leader who is an old-school floor general on offense with impressive passing skills. He understands how to run a pick-and-roll. He’s undersized and not a great shooter (30.9% from 3 last season), but he’s got that something. He could be a Jose Alvarado type and stick around as a roll player, but he’s got to develop a consistent 3-pointer to make that work. DaCeltics won't get his guy in Round II ...
#46 Clippers > Cam Christie (G/Wing)
The brother of the Lakers wing Max Christie, Cameron is a sharpshooter who hit 39.1% from 3 as a freshman, and showed he can score in a lot of ways — as long as he is out by the arc. Christie struggled to score inside the paint, something he has to improve going forward. He’s got to get stronger, both for his drives and on the defensive end (he’s a good defender for a college freshman but will get pushed around at the next level). He’s just 18, he’s a bit of a project, but the Clippers can’t go wrong taking a good shooter.
#47 Magic > A Reeves (Wing)
He is a knockdown 3-point shooter — 44.7% from 3 for the Wildcats last season — who can put the ball on the floor, get in the lane and has a fantastic floater game. The problem is there is not much on his resume aside shooting. If he’s going to stick with the Pelicans, Reeves has to show more defensively, plus have to become a better passer and play maker. Still, not a bad roll of the dice by New Orleans considering Reeves shooting and where we are in the draft.
#48 Spurs > Edwards or Chomche to the Spurs? Wouldn't surprise me ...
Pick is in: Harrison Ingram, 6'5" wing, North Carolina. He showed off some playmaking skills for the Tar Heels and shot 38.5% from 3 last season (a step forward for the 21-year-old from previous stops). That said, he’s not a great athlete at the NBA level which leads to questions about his ability to defend wings in the NBA, and his ability to create space for his own shot. Is he more of an undersized stretch four in the NBA? His shooting means he has a chance to stick as a role player but is that shot for real (career 62% free throw shooter)? Ingram will has to show Gregg Popovich and the Spurs that it is.
#49 Pacers > Newton (G)
Tristen Newton, 6'3" guard, UConn. A two-time champion with the Huskies, he was a glue guy for those teams. He shot just 32.1% from 3 last season but was better off the catch-and-shoot (he still needs to be more consistent with his shot). He knows how to run an offense, he crashes the boards, but he’s going to have to show the Pacers he can hang athletically to get a spot on the roster (he might be a good two-way candidate, if he’s up for that at age 23).
#50 Pacers > Freeman (F)

I think the Woj tweet was wrong ... this is what I read on NBC Sports
Reggie Jackson just picked up his $5.4 million player option with the Nuggets, and now the team has agreed to trade the veteran point guard to Charlotte for three unprotected second round picks. The Hornets need depth at the point and Jackson fills that need.

Well what do you know ... after the draft started the workout page was updated and 2-3 players added to the Celtics list.
And Watson was the final workout on the updated list so Brad got one of his prospects after all but I didn't have him on the Forward listings I posted ... here it is:
Grizzlies just picked Chomche at Pick #57!
