Terrence Ferguson is a guy whose name is not being talked about much. He's a quick twitch athlete, long and smooth, strong hands (easily palms the ball), a leaper.
2 things that stand out to me that impress me are
1) knows what he's doing with the ball in his hands. Quick decision maker, and because he's quick and coordinated, can get into good scoring position faster than his defender can get into position to do something about it.
2) confident. He's got a Kobe'esque vibe about him. When he's posting his man up, he's thinking he's going to win.

Don't sleep on Semi Ojeleye. Not only does he have a cool name, but his game is outstanding.
I think the reason he's not ranked really high is because he's a tweener. He's built like a tight end, but is listed as 6'7" -- so where do you put him? SF? PF?
Strong, highly skilled and coordinated, can shoot from three, pull up midrange, and finish deftly at the rim.
He's like Jae Crowder, but a few notches above him in the skills department.

I found another second round guy who I want Danny to draft -- Damyean Dotson. Real nice shooting stroke for a 6'5" SG with a 6'9" wingspan.
We need better shooters on the team, and I think he could help.

Hard to believe when I say that Dwayne Bacon isn't a highly touted prospect when most draft fans know him pretty well. But it is what it is, and Bacon could end up going in the 2nd round.
He'd be a great value pick there. Has a nose for the basket, can practically do it all on the court. Reminds me of a slimmer and longer Deonte Christmas (remember him?).

What about Jordan Bell? Is he worth a look at 37 if he's still there?

Jordan Bell reminds me of Kenneth Faried, which isn't the worst thing.

I like Jordan Bell -- but his offensive limitations (lack of scoring skills) limits him to a defensive reserve role. He's like the Marcus Smart of big men.

Dillon Brooks plays with a chip on his shoulders. He's stocky, but surprisingly explosive. Can drive, hit three's.
