MIL In: Michael Carter-Williams, Miles Plumlee and Tyler Ennis

PHO In: Brandon Knight

PHI In: draft picks


After trading Goran Dragic and Isaiah Thomas away, the Suns keep a dominant point guard on their roster in Knight.

The 76ers made a surprise move in trading starting point guard Michael Carter-Williams, and it doesn’t look like they are trying to compete right now.

In addition to MCW, the Bucks got depth that will help them in the playoffs this year.

Cover cornerback with the talent to play on an island, and the swagger to regroup and forget when beaten. Williams can cover outside or from the slot, and has potential to come in and start right away for an aggressive man-cover defense. With consistency of effort, Williams could become the best cornerback to come out of this draft. – Lance Zierlein

He’s a bump-and-run cornerback with the length, deep speed and confidence to handle himself down the field against speed. Waynes plays too handsy for NFL officials and that could show up on Sundays due to his lack of great feet and suddenness. He needs technique work and could be inconsistent early on, but he has a very high floor. – Lance Zierlein

Tartt has terrific size and is a physical tackler but he must show that he can handle coverage responsibilities. Despite playing 2-deep and single-high coverage, Tartt’s size and aggressiveness as a tackler might be best utilized around the line of scrimmage or in a “robber” scheme. Tartt has the size, athleticism and overall talent to be an NFL starter. – Lance Zierlein

Lacks ideal size for the position, but checks off just about every other box teams will be looking for. Smith’s ability to match up in space against slot receivers and his willingness to get downhill and tackle will be coveted. Smith must learn to play under control as a tackler, but he should have a shot to come in and compete for a starting-safety or slot-corner job quickly. – Lance Zierlein

Smith possesses above average ball skills and instincts, but questions about his ability to keep up with vertical speed could push his draft stock down a little bit. Smith’s cleanest fit might be in a Cover 2 scheme, but he has starting talent. – Lance Zierlein

While Shaw played boundary corner, slot corner and safety at USC, concerns over his athleticism and speed could limit him to zone-cornerback status as a pro. Shaw seems to go along for the ride while on field rather than operate with a voracious appetite to make plays. He’s not physical enough to play in the box, so he will likely have to be a Cover-2 cornerback or free safety as a pro. – Lance Zierlein

Physical box safety with good meat on the bones and a willingness to play physical football. Sample is stymied by his lack of football experience which plays into his lack of instincts and coverage talent at his position. Sample shows good play speed and ability to range, but needs more time to develop into a more complete player. – Lance Zierlein
