That ends the lottery portion of the draft. We will now enter the rest of the draft.
This is where Celtics fans will start to pay close attention because the guys we're projecting to go in the 20's will start getting picked by teams ahead of us.

15th pick is Troy Brown Jr
I like this kid. His 2 knocks are his perimeter shooting and lack of explosiveness. But overall, with development, he's got a chance to be a solid rotational player. I think he has starter potential. Heady player who can make plays for others, and find ways to score his own.

16th pick is Zhaire Smith
Reminds me of a taller version of Avery Bradley (hahaha, Chauncey thinks so too).
**Woj reports that Mikal Bridges will be traded to the Suns for Zhaire Smith.

17th pick is Donte Divincenzo
Seems like Danny really liked this kid. He's got the tools, the confidence, and the work ethic to be a contributor in the NBA. I see him having a Delonte West kind of production.

18th pick is Lonnie Walker
This is a San Antonio pick. Just a solid player, solid human being. Not flashy, just productive.

Wait. Lonnie Walker the Fourth? I wouldn't name a kid Lonnie once, but somewhere is a family that did it 4 times. Unreal.

19th pick is Kevin Huerter
I wanted this kid because he's a real shooter. Huerter will be playing alongside Trae Young. The Hawks have beefed up their perimeter offense immensely in one night.

Can you imagine the kid that doesn't get named Lonnie? It doesn't stop till they have a family of all girls or no kids |

20th pick is Josh Okogie
I'm glad he was taken off the board. I don't care about his game. Great athlete, can jump, but in terms of actual basketball skills and instincts, I just don't see it.

21st pick is Grayson Allen
This is Utah sticking it to Danny for taking Gordon Hayward.
I like the kid, and I would have liked to draft him, but he's not a star in the making. Could be a solid starter on a team lacking a PG.

I hope Donovan Mitchell trips Grayson Allen in their first practice and then looks at him and says "You can't do that here" then does it again and says "I told you you can't do that here."
