Bouknight has crushed the pre-draft process and is a big riser. Wagner and Giddey are also favored to go in the top 10, although the latter might slip to the late lottery. Mitchell has a great body of work and should be in play in the back half of the top 10. The same goes for Johnson, who has a ton of potential coming out of Tennessee. At + odds, both these players represent great value for bettors.
