By Tyler Watts
Rest of the top 50
36. Pacers (via Raptors) grab Alex Karaban
37. Timberwolves (via Grizzlies) choose Cam Christie
38. Knicks (via Jazz) select Cam Spencer
39. Grizzlies (via Nets) draft Kel’el Ware
40. Trail Blazers (via Hawks) take Oso Ighodaro
41. 76ers (via Bulls) choose Baylor Scheierman
42. Hornets (via Rockets) select Jamal Shead
43. Heat grab Harrison Ingram
44. Rockets (via Warriors) draft Melvin Ajinca
45. Kings pick Ajay Mitchell
46. Clippers (via Pacers) select K.J. Simpson
47. Magic choose Mantas Rubstavicius
48. Spurs (via Lakers) draft Izan Almansa
Almansa is one of the most accomplished players in this class. He won MVP of the Under-19 World Cup in 2023 and the Under-17 World Cup in 2022. He helped Spain with the gold and silver medals in those competitions. The 6’10 forward had a subpar season with the G League Ignite but is a proven winner with a versatile skill set.
Almansa is the type of player coach Pop loves. He can handle the ball, make some plays, help his teammates get open, and get buckets in the post. His 3-point shooting needs work and there are defensive questions. Still, he may blossom in a better system. Almansa is an afterthought in this class, but fans should be watching.
49. Pacers (via Cavaliers) grab Tyon Grant-Foster
50. Pacers (via Pelicans) take Keshad Johnson
