NBA TWO-WAY TALENTS

Tshiebwe is one of the greatest rebounders college basketball has ever seen. The Kentucky product’s energy in the paint and on the glass has translated to the pros, too. He averaged 7.8 points and 6.6 rebounds in 16.6 minutes a night for the Jazz in 2025-26.

The 2025-26 G League Rookie of the Year, Pedulla averaged 20.3 points and 5.2 dimes last season. The fearless shot-making guard also played seven games in the big league for the Clippers in his freshman campaign.

Johnson, an athletic defensive-minded four man, was a key bench piece for Auburn’s 2025 Final Four team. He impressed in his rookie season with the Nets, averaging 8.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in 17 games.

Poulakidas is a true sharpshooter who can hit any type of shot with his trusty lefty stroke. He torched nets in his first NBA stint with the Mavericks, averaging 8.8 points and shooting 40.3% from deep.

Shooting and positional size are two key attributes for a role player in today’s NBA, and Hinson has both. He torched nets from outside as a rookie with the Jazz in 2025-26, shooting 46.8% from deep and averaging 11.9 points.

OKC’s 2024 first-round pick was buried in the rotation as a rookie, averaging 2.5 points in 10.2 minutes per game. The Thunder parted ways with Jones after one season despite trading a haul of SRPs to draft him in the first place, and he has a chance to make them seriously regret it.
