NBA Draft: Guards the Houston Rockets Could Eye at No. 10

Nevertheless, Jakucionis averaged 15 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists on 44% shooting from the field. He emerged as the top shot creator for Illinois, displaying three-level scoring abilities and a knack for operating in the pick-and-roll.

The way Jakucionis is able to burst at any given moment, but also decelerate to separate defenders, reminds many of Luka Doncic, however, he's more comparable to Goran Dragic. Houston could draft him to fill the backup point guard spot and develop on the bench as a solid facilitator and scorer.

Jase Richardson, Michigan State

Richardson is a bit of a risk standing at 6 feet without shoes. The undersized point guard didn't receive many minutes early on at Michigan State, but that quickly changed toward the end of the season.

The Denver native took off in the second half of the season, finishing with averages of 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists on 49.3% shooting from the field and an impressive 41.2% from deep. The Rockets' biggest need is in three-point shooting, and Richardson would definitely help with that.

The questions surrounding the 19-year-old are his defense and playmaking. He doesn't facilitate much despite being a 6-foot point guard, and his frame doesn't scream defensive potential. However, if he can iron those out, Richardson could be a scary weapon on Houston's bench.

Egor Demin, BYU

Demin is one of the most intriguing talents in this year's draft. The Russian point-forward has a great frame for his position, standing 6-foot-8 without shoes with a 6-foot-10 wingspan. Similar to Jakucionis, he posed top-five projections at the start of the season, but his stats were slightly underwhelming compared to other top prospects.

Nevertheless, his frame and play style should have scouts salivating. He averaged 10.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in his freshman season at BYU, displaying great playmaking and scoring abilities.

The only concerns with Demin are whether or not he can be an aggressive scorer and his shooting abilities. He shot just 27.3% from deep for the Cougars and was more of a floor general than a scorer. However, the Rockets could use Demin's playmaking on offense, and there's always room to develop a jumper at 19.
