NBA Draft: 2018 NBA Mock Draft - Top 10

St Francis v Duke
Marvin Bagley III (R) and Wendell Carter Jr. (L) playing for the Duke Blue Devils

With the 7th pick, the Cleveland Cavaliers select Wendell Carter Jr.

University of Florida v Duke University
University of Florida v Duke University

Having drawn comparisons to Al Horford, Wendell Carter Jr. has a great all-round offensive game and possesses all the tools to make an impact without having the eye-dropping statistics. This past season at Duke, he was in the shadow of his front court teammate Marvin Bagley III, and we were unable to see him in his fully fledged form. He won't be a franchise centrepiece like Bagley, but he can be part of the next phase for the Cavaliers for the next few years.

With the 7th pick, the Chicago Bulls select Michael Porter Jr.

Another draft risk is Michael Porter Jr. He was once considered the best player in this draft class, however a back injury caused him to miss most of his college season and when he did play, he struggled. Teams will be evaluating him based off his scouting reports from school rather than the 2 or 3 games he played this past year.

Standing at 6'11, his ball handling, speed and size will make him a good point forward type of player who will have the ability to finish any kind of way offensively.
