Dickinson spent three years at Michigan before transferring to Kansas for the last two, and he was a strong producer throughout his college career. He’s a big-bodied center with decent touch that can also pass the ball. He’ll get a chance to show that he deserves a spot in the NBA for the Birmingham Squadron, but it’s unlikely he cracks the rotation next season.

Peavy spent the first four seasons of his college career in the Big 12, playing one season at Texas Tech and three at TCU, before transferring to Georgetown for his fifth year. And he exploded as a scorer with the Hoyas, averaging 17.2 points, 5.8 rebounds. 3.6 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 37 minutes per game. Shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 65.9 percent from the foul line, Peavy led the Big East in steals and earned all-conference honors. The defensive ability and athletic tools make him an intriguing 3-and-D prospect, but Peavy will have to show that he can sustain the perimeter shooting he displayed at Georgetown. New Orleans pushed their chips in with their moves in recent days, and Peavy should be a solid depth piece for them immediately, though there isn’t a clear path to minutes.

Sure, there are concerns about Fears after some inefficient play at Oklahoma, but he has loads of potential. Fears averaged 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game as an 18-year-old as the focal point of the offense in arguably the toughest conference in the NCAA. He’s a bit undersized, and there are questions about how he’ll impact the game defensively, but Fears is an intriguing offensive talent with the ability to run an offense and create his own shot, both at the rim and from beyond the arc. There aren’t many players in this draft that can get to the rim like Fears. The fit with the Pelicans is a bit curious given the team just traded for a point guard in Jordan Poole and already had Dejounte Murray.

Houston is doing everything in its power to get the band back together alongside new addition Kevin Durant. None of the trio of Tate, Holiday and Green hold much fantasy value, but they’ll provide solid minutes off the bench in Houston’s deep rotation.

After playing two seasons at Gonzaga, Sallis transferred and took on a far more significant role at Wake Forest. During his final season, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 18.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 three-pointers per game, shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 80.4 percent from the foul line. While Sallis did not provide much value as a three-point shooter, making 27.7 percent of his attempts in 2024-25, there’s prior evidence that he can. During his first season at Wake Forest, the guard shot 40.5 percent from deep on 5.4 attempts per game. He’s a solid addition for Philadelphia, but he’ll likely spend most of his time with their G League affiliate in Delaware.

Proctor played three seasons at Duke, though he was overshadowed during the 2024-25 campaign thanks to the arrival of No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg. Proctor started 38 games for the Blue Devils last season, averaging 12.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 29.9 minutes. He shot an efficient 40.5 percent from beyond the arc and showed flashes of his strong playmaking abilities. At 6’4, 183 pounds, Proctor has good size for a point guard, and he can be an impactful option off the bench in the NBA. The former Duke standout joins a Cavaliers squad that hopes to remain a contender in the East next season. He was a player Cleveland was reportedly targeting with the 49th pick, especially with Ty Jerome and Sam Merrill both being free agents this summer.
