26. Miami Heat – DeAndre Daniels, UConn     Picked by Wes Goldberg at All U Can Heat 

With Shane Battier retiring and Ray Allen possibly joining him, as well as the contracts of Rashard Lewis, Michael Beasley and James Jones coming off the books, the Miami Heat will be looking to improve their depth at the wing this offseason. Daniels came up big for the Huskies in the tournament and projects as a 3-and-D guy in the NBA. Daniels shot better than 41 percent from three last season. His 6’8” frame and 7’2” wingspan combined with his athleticism and shooting ability make for a good fit in Miami’s scheme. 

27. Phoenix Suns – Jerami Grant, Syracuse              Eric Saar, Valley of the Suns

28. Los Angeles Clippers – Zach LaVine, UCLA       Picked by Trisity Miller at Fully Clips

Didn’t think he’d be here, but the Clippers are taking Zach Lavine. Chris Paul would be the perfect target for the combo guard and he’d allow the Clips to save $$$ by cutting Crawford. He’s super athletic and a proven shooter. The clippers can afford to wait for the rest of his game to fill in.  

29. Oklahoma City – Jordan Adams, UCLA       Picked by Mark Bruty, Thunderous Intentions

It’s no secret that we need some scoring from the 2 spot and while there is very likelihood it comes in the off season via a trade there is no harm grabbing Adams.

He can take time to develop and by pushing Lamb a bit the Thunder could reap all sorts of rewards. 

30. San Antonio Spurs – Mitch McGary, Michigan
