19. Washington Wizards

In a small sample size last season, Wright proved his defensive capabilities. Washington ended up with Kelly Oubre Jr., but that hasn’t worked out. If they could do it over again, they’d go another route.

20. Toronto Raptors

  • Original Pick: Delon Wright (Utah)
  • Redraft Pick: Justin Anderson (Virginia)

Justin Anderson has struggled in 2016-17 (like everyone else on the Dallas Mavericks), but last season he showed flashes of the lockdown defender he was in college when he won ACC Player of the Year. Toronto needs someone who can help them win right now. Anderson would be that guy at No. 20.

21. Dallas Mavericks

Rim protection everyone. Rim protection. Willie Cauley-Stein hasn’t shown a damn thing on offense nor been anything worthy of the sixth overall pick, but he’s capable of a dominant defender. The Mavs seemingly swing and miss on every free agent big man option.
