At 36, the Pistons (from POR) take Gabriel Procida.
I remember him being mocked at us at 53, and watching some of his clips, I wasn't impressed. Can do what you want out of a SF, but without the athleticism and explosion needed to excel in the NBA.

At 37, the Mavericks take Jaden Hardy. Once targeted to be a lottery pick, and later on a late first round pick, Harden's shine dulled substantially as he falls to 36.
A bit smallish for a 2, and a bit too selfish, I think the NBA is trending away from players like this.

At 38, the Grizz (from the Spurs) take Kennedy Chandler.
I like this kid, he's a PG with good feel, and he's real quick and has a developing 3 ball. But he's under 6 feet, and he's not an elite athlete or an elite shooter.

At 39, the Cavs take Khalifia Diop. International big man who's a rim runner. Solid athlete.

At 40, the Hornets trade their pick to the Wolves, and MIN takes Bryce McGowns.
A springy athlete who can dribble and create his own offense a bit. Reminds me of RJ Hampton (or going back a few, Desmond Mason).

At 41, the Pelicans are taking EJ Liddel.
Maybe a bit like David West, maybe a tad less elusive and a better 3 pt shot.

At 42, the Knickerbockers are taking Trevor Keels.
Not a bad pickup if he comes close to his ceiling (I feel his game is similar to Kyle Lowry's).

At 44, the Warriors acquire this pick from ATL for cash, and take Ryan Rollins.
Doh!! C'mon, Brad. Couldn't you have done that?? This kid Ryan Rollins can be that glue guy, even off the bench. Not only did we miss out on him, but the Warriors, of all teams, got him.
Edit -- ok, there's more to the deal. GS sent the 51st pick and also 2M in cash.
Maybe Brad didn't want to give up the 2M he's waiting to use for something up his sleeve.

At 45, the Wolves obtain the pick from the Hornets and take Josh Minott.
A superb and explosive athlete, Minott covers the court quickly. His draw back is his shooting form, which leads to inconsistent shooting.

At 48, the Pacers receive the Wolves' pick and select Kendall Brown.
Brown is talented, but is an athlete more than a skilled basketball player.

At 49, the Cavs take Isaiah Mobley.
He gets the chance to play with his younger brother, Evan Mobley. At least his parents will only have to cheer for one team.
