NBA Draft Outlook:
14-20 Range.
Ideal Fits:
Brooklyn at 17:
Small Ball 4 who can stretch the floor and guard multiple positions. The Nets have hit and miss on some recent draft picks and could use a High floor guy like PJ. Likely a Day One starter on a playoff team.
Indiana at 18:
Indiana has made their impact on the defensive end of the floor and Washington would be another great addition. Similar to Brooklyn, the Pacers are a playoff team looking for impact guys at 18. PJ is an impact guy.
