Mock Draft 3.0 – Predicting how the dominoes fall, with view to fit, shifts, and OKC Thunder best bet

And, the other area Boston will need to address is rebounding which KJ is above average at handling for a guard. Furthermore, at 6’6″ his height would create size in the backcourt especially if he’s paired with Rozier.
