Analyzing the Projections - Kris Dunn 

In the 10 projections that GoLocal highlighted, Dunn is projected everywhere from 3rd overall to 8th overall. 

Three projections have Dunn going to the Sacramento Kings with the 8th pick. Kings guard Rajon Rondo is an unrestricted free agent this off season and will be looking for big money. 

Dunn is projected to go 3rd overall by two outlets, Draftexpress and NBAdraft.net, to the Boston Celtics. Boston has numerous guards starting with Isaiah Thomas and then going to Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart. 

Two projections have Dunn going 6th to the New Orleans Pelicans, two have him going 5th to the Minnesota Timberwolves and one projection has him going 7th to the Denver Nuggets. 

Analyzing the Projections - Ben Bentil 

Ben Bentil
In the 10 projections that GoLocal highlights, Ben Bentil's chances of ending up in the first round appear to be a total toss up . 

Three projections think Bentil will go 30th to the Golden State Warriors as his game would seem to fit the Warriors style of play. 

However, 6 projections have Ben Bentil not being drafted in the first round and going early in to mid-way through the second round. 

One projection has Bentil going 28th to the Phoenix Suns. 

The NBA Draft is set for 8 p.m.
