2021 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: Cade Cunningham goes No. 1, Toronto Raptors add a star

Scouts will have forgotten all about Moody’s iffy tournament by the time the draft comes around. With Norman Powell gone, why not add a replacement like Moody. At 6-8 with the versatility to guard four positions, Moody blends high defensive IQ with a tremendous 3-point shot and quality passing, making the former Razorback an ideal fit for the Raptors.

Moses Moody would be perfect for the Toronto Raptors

Moody is one of the safer prospects in this draft, as his ability to play defense and shoot will be welcomed in Toronto. He could start on the bench in his first season, but Moody is perfect for Nick Nurse’s style on both ends, and he should become a valued member of the Raptors’ core for the post-Kyle Lowry era.

Johnson is a poor shooter with a turnover problem, but he absolutely punishes the rim, and that ability to have his way inside the arc on the offensive end paired with him frequently manning multiple positions on defense has made him a top pick. The Thunder need some youngsters to build around, and Johnson is as high-ceiling as they come on the offensive end.

The Thunder have shown via the selections of Theo Maledon and Aleksej Pokusevski that they are willing to gamble on raw talent. Alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Johnson could be one-half of a dynamite backcourt that gives Oklahoma City the foundation to become one of the most consistent winners in the West over the next decade.

Barnes has been handling the ball as a traditional point guard this season while also getting some time down in the low post. The most versatile player in this draft, Orlando can afford to take a calculated gamble on his potential as a two-way stopper with the pick they acquired from the Chicago Bulls in the Vucevic trade.

The return of Isaac on the wing might make picking a second Seminole with an identical playing style redundant to some, but Barnes’ potential as a ball-handler and defender could make Orlando one of the finest defensive teams in the league. If he develops a jumper, he and Green will instantly become one of the league’s top duos.

The Kings are one step away from finally chucking Marvin Bagley III in the proverbial bin, leaving a need for an offensive big man to compliment their strong young backcourt very high on the priority list in the offseason. If they want to go for a high-upside option, poaching Sengun from the international waters might be a very solid move for Monte McNair.

The TekSut Bandırma stud will struggle on defense in the pros out of the game, but his offensive potential in the paint and in the mid-range makes him the top international prospect in this class. The Kings will have a need for a traditional center if Richaun Holmes and Hassan Whiteside leave in the offseason, and Sengun could fix Sacramento’s issues on the interior in due time.
