Every year, NBA teams find rotation players in the second round of the draft.                                                                                                                       

Malcolm Brogdon won the Rookie of the Year Award after he was selected by the Bucks 36th overall in 2016. Jordan Bell was picked 38th overall in last year’s draft and is currently contributing on a Warriors team three games away from an NBA Championship.

Draymond Green, Isaiah Thomas, DeAndre Jordan and Paul Millsap were second round draft choices, and all have gone on to make an All-Star team.

Here are five players projected to be picked in the second round of this year’s draft who could make an immediate impact.

Jevon Carter –  Guard, West Virginia

Carter projects as a gritty, defensive-minded guard off an NBA bench. He spent much of his career guarding the opponent’s best player and he was twice named the Big 12 Defense Player of the Year. Carter appeared in 144 games, starting 112, over his four years at West Virginia and he connected on 35.5 percent of his 3-pointers.

Tony Carr – Guard, Penn State

Carr is a proven scorer who averaged 19.6 points per game as a sophomore at Penn State last season. Carr can attack the rim and he became a strong shooter in his second season for the Nittany Lions, increasing his 3-point shooting percentage from 32 to 43.3. Carr, who averaged five assists per game in 2017-18, is also a good distributor.

Chimezie Metu — Forward, USC

Metu has the potential to be a solid two-way player at the next level. He tallied 14.8 points per game as a sophomore for the Trojans in 2016-17. The 6-foot-11 forward followed up by raising his scoring output to 15.7 points, while also grabbing 7.4 rebounds, per contest last season. Metu finished his three-year colligate career averaging 1.6 blocks per game.

Gary Trent Jr. – Guard, Duke  

Trent managed to average 14.5 points per game during his one season with the Blue Devils despite sharing the ball with Marvin Bagley III and Wendell Carter Jr., both future lottery picks, as well as senior guard Grayson Allen. He was a former five-star recruit who hit 40.2 percent of his 3-pointers as a freshman.

Omari Spellman — Forward, Villanova

Spellman could become a reliable stretch big man in the NBA. The 6-foot-9 inch forward averaged 10 points and eight rebounds per game as a redshirt freshman for Villanova. He scored in the post while also knocking down 43.3 percent of his 3-point opportunities. Spellman is also a rim protector. He finished his lone season with the Wildcats averaging 1.5 blocks per contest, second in the Big East.
