Reading Time: 2 minutes  If you’re reading this, you’ve probably heard of LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, and the rest of the names that occupy the top of any draft board. However, if you’ve been following the draft more closely this year, Aleksej Pokusevski and Kira Lewis Jr. might ring a bell. Who knows? Maybe you’ve even stumbled upon the likes of Robert Woodard or Paul Reed. All the guys I listed above will hear their names called on draft day.
