With the 21st Pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder select:
21. P.J. Hairston, Guard (Texas Legends – NBDL)
After whiffing on getting any scoring in return for James Harden (sorry Jeremy Lamb), the Thunder look for a scoring two-guard with this pick. Playing Reggie Jackson and Russell Westbrook together is fun for OKC, but Hairston is a legit two who can shoot the lights out and give the Thunder another scorer to take pressure off of Kevin Durant and Westbrook. – Belal
With the 22nd Pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Memphis Grizzlies select:
22. Shabazz Napier, Guard (Connecticut)
Memphis desperately needs some scoring on the perimeter. Mike Conley had to play nearly 40 minutes a game in the postseason and drafting Napier would help take the pressure off him. – Mark
With the 23rd Pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz select:
23. K.J. McDaniels, Forward (Clemson)
The Jazz have a very strong crop of young talent 1 through 5, but what they lack is a scoring punch off the bench. McDaniels provides that with his ability to take defenders off the dribble and finish at the rim. If the forward can add some range on offense, he could turn into a good all-around scorer. McDaniels also provides insurance if Gordon Hayward bolts this summer. – Belal
With the 24th Pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets select:
24. Jerami Grant, Forward (Syracuse)
Grant brings athleticism and toughness to Charlotte’s front-court alongside Al Jefferson. He’s probably the best available here and addresses a need for the Hornets. – Mark
With the 25th Pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets select:
25. Jordan Adams, Guard (UCLA)
Adams is probably not the guard from UCLA that most people expected to come off the board first, but his long range shooting should be a great fit for the Rockets second unit. With James Harden letting it fly with the starters, Adams’ stroke will help open things up for Jeremy Lin, Omer Asik and the rest of the Rockets bench. – Belal
