2016 NBA Mock Draft: High schooler Thon Maker to Toronto

Deyonta Davis. 17. player. 73. <p>This pick comes to Denver via Portland. The Nuggets’ roster is already rather deep, so they can afford to take a shot at a high upside prospect in this spot. Michigan State’s Deyonta Davis is a raw, 6-10 power forward who, with some added weight, could play center in the NBA because of his 7-2 wingspan. Davis played less than 20 minutes per game for the Spartans, although that was more a product of the team’s depth than his lack of production. The freshman put together solid per 40 minute numbers, averaging 16.1 points and 11.8 rebounds.</p> <p>Davis is a good athlete who, at this point, is going to collect most of his points either as a diver in the pick-and-roll, on dump-offs or off of offensive rebounds. While he’s not a polished offensive player yet, Davis could be a productive rim protector early on. He has a good feel for the game and nice timing on that end of the floor. Davis averaged nearly four blocks per 40 minutes as a freshman and his 10.2 percent block rate was the 22nd best mark in Division I. Davis is unlikely to be an immediate impact player, but with a year or two of development, he has the potential to be a solid two-way big.</p> <p><em>To learn more about Deyonta Davis, <a href=.
