The Santa Cruz Warriors used their 15th and 16th picks in the third round on Jeremy Atkinson and Orion Outerbridge, respectively.
We'll begin with the 6-foot-9 Outerbridge out of Rhode Island, who was the subject of an analysis at SB Nation's Ridiculous Upside:
Often compared to Wilson Chandler, Outerbridge may be a bit more raw than the rest, but his versatile talent is still evident. Like Aasiya-Bey, the forward impressed at the league's national tryout in June. In addition, Outerbridge also strutted his stuff at a workout attended by representatives from up to nine NBA teams earlier this summer.
Outerbridge's scoring efficiency took a dip in his final season at Rhode Island as his minutes and usage rate increased a bit but he clearly caught the eye of scouts nonetheless. For more on Outerbridge, check out his Sports-Reference profile.
DraftExpress lists Atkinson as a 6-foot-3 forward out of UNC-Asheville who showed the ability to do a little bit of everything: a mediocre 3-point shooter for a pro prospect, he rebounded relatively well for his size and showed the ability to score rather efficiently at a high volume.
