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.

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.

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.

Borrego is currently the associate head coach of the Pelicans under Willie Green. The 47-year-old Borrego was the Hornets’ head coach for four seasons before he was fired after the 2021-22 season. Borrego is the fourth known person to interview with the Knicks joining Mike Brown, Taylor Jenkins and Micah Nori. The Knicks are still looking for a new coach after parting ways with Tom Thibodeau shortly after losing in the Eastern Conference finals.

This pick will go to Charlotte as part of the Mark Williams trade that sends the big man to the desert. The five-star high school prospect didn’t have a great season as a freshman at UConn. He averaged 14.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 three-pointers per game while shooting 38.1 percent from the floor and 31.7 percent from beyond the arc. He should be a much better shooter than what he showed during his freshman season, but he may struggle to contribute much else in the NBA. He isn’t known for his defense, and he was a poor finisher at the rim at UConn. Despite those deficiencies, he still did enough to win Big East Freshman of the Year. Charlotte could use some additional scoring and shooting options, and McNeeley fits the bill.

The Suns will address a glaring need in the frontcourt with the addition of Williams as they bring in another former Hornets center. Khaman Maluach went 10th in the draft to the Rockets, who are expected to send him to the Suns by way of the Kevin Durant trade. Phoenix will have Williams, Maluach and Nick Richards at center if no additional moves are made, meaning one of the bigs will be the odd man out in the rotation.

With Toronto being one of the teams mentioned as a potential destination for Suns forward Kevin Durant, Poeltl’s name came up as part of a possible trade package. However, SportsNet Canada’s Michael Grange reported Friday evening that the Raptors are not interested in including Poeltl in a trade for KD. NBA insider Marc Stein confirmed Grange’s report and added that the Raptors and Poeltl have “mutual interest” in working out a contract extension. While there is a feeling around the league that Toronto is open to trading down ahead of Wednesday’s draft, as they hold the ninth overall pick, there’s no desire to move on from their starting center.
