The 2019 NBA Draft is underway, and there are expected to be a number of SEC talents chosen during the event.

From a trio of Kentucky stars to Vanderbilt’s Darius Garland and fast-rising Georgia big man Nicolas Claxton, there will be some big names chosen.

But, where will they go? The NBA is all about fit, and finding the right team for your skills is super important.

Here’s where each of the SEC’s likely first rounders will be most valued:

Darius Garland, PG, Vanderbilt: Chicago Bulls (No. 7)

Garland may not be on the board by the time the Bulls are on the clock, as many mock drafts have him going No. 4 overall or to the Phoenix Suns at No. 6. However, if he falls a couple of spots to the Bulls at No. 7, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world for the talented point guard.

Garland has drawn numerous comparisons to Kyrie Irving (including from me) for his ability to create shots with the ball in his hands, so he’d be a good fit alongside current Chicago star Zach LaVine, who is super athletic, but is probably more suited to being a 2 guard.

He has a lot to prove due to not playing much in college, but Garland could very easily be a star in the NBA and could end up being the best SEC player in this year’s draft class.

PJ Washington, F, Kentucky: Boston Celtics (No. 14)

The Celtics are likely losing center Al Horford to free agency this offseason, so they’ll have some needs in the frontcourt. With three first-round picks, though, they should be able to address those needs on Thursday night.

With the pick they landed from the Sacramento Kings at the end of the lottery, they should take a chance on Washington, who improved greatly from his freshman to sophomore seasons at Kentucky. There’s no reason to think he’s hit his ceiling yet, either, which is an exciting thought for NBA teams.

He has plenty of room to grow, and the Celtics would be a very interesting landing spot for a player of his caliber.

Keldon Johnson, G/F, Kentucky: Atlanta Hawks (No. 17)

Considering that ESPN currently has 42-year-old Vince Carter projected to be the Hawks’ starting small forward for the 2019-20 season, they could probably use a guy who can handle more minutes than Carter. Don’t get me wrong, Vinsanity is a legend and I hope he plays another 20 years, but realistically, he can give you 12-15 good minutes a night at this point.

Enter Johnson, a guy who doesn’t have the raw athleticism that Carter had in his prime, but who has a game that is very complementary of what second-year PG Trae Young does best. Johnson projects as a 3-and-D guy who can also get to the rim when the situation calls for it.

Plugging him in alongside some of the Hawks’ other exciting young players makes a lot of sense. The Hawks have three first-round picks, and if they can get a guy of Johnson’s caliber at No. 17, they have to do it.

Tyler Herro, G, Kentucky: Oklahoma City Thunder (No. 21)

The Thunder finished tied for 22nd in the NBA in three-point percentage last year, knocking down only 34.8 percent of their long-range attempts. They also finished with 932 made threes, which was 13th in the league.

Herro, who once said “I’m a bucket,” would be a great fit for this team. The Thunder’s championship window is closing, and the shooting guard position is a big area of need alongside PG Russell Westbrook and SF Paul George.

Westbrook dominates the ball, so Herro’s ability to make shots off screens and without dribbling makes him a great complement to Westbrook’s strengths. Plus, he’s no slouch on defense, so he can help the Thunder on that end of the floor, too.

Herro might not be on the board by the time the 21st pick rolls around, though, so we’ll see if the Thunder make a move up to snag a guy who could be the best fit for their current roster.

Nicolas Claxton, F/C, Georgia: Brooklyn Nets (No. 27)

The Nets are going to be a team to watch this offseason. They’re currently in the mix to land big-name free agents like Kyrie Irving and Al Horford, so Claxton would be an interesting fit in that puzzle.

Claxton’s stock has risen like a rocket during the pre-draft process, with him climbing from the ranks of afterthought to almost-guaranteed first-round pick. In fact, he’ll be in Brooklyn on Thursday night in the draft’s green room. Imagine what a special moment that would be for him to be chosen by the Nets in their home arena.

If the Nets take Claxton, though, they probably don’t need to sign Horford, as they project as very similar players. Claxton could slide into the starting lineup alongside fellow big man Jarrett Allen and provide one half of a talented young frontcourt duo. And both of their contracts would be much cheaper than the 3-year, $90 million contract Horford is reportedly seeking.

Scooping up Claxton would free up money for the Nets to throw at Irving, and potentially a guy like Tobias Harris, Jimmy Butler or, if they shoot for the stars, Kawhi Leonard. Stay tuned for some exciting developments in Brooklyn.

Grant Williams, F, Tennessee: San Antonio Spurs (No. 29)

The Spurs also have the No. 19 pick in Round 1, but I think they can wait to snag Williams at the end of the round. He seems like a guy who would thrive in Gregg Popovich’s system, and reminds me quite a bit of Boris Diaw when he was with the Spurs.

Diaw was able to spot up and hit threes on occasion, and Williams doesn’t quite have that aspect of his game down yet, but Williams is a better rebounder than Diaw ever was. However, with LaMarcus Aldridge and Jakob Poeltl under contract for the next two seasons, Williams can fill the role of big man off the bench, providing scoring, rebounding and leadership.

Most players will thrive under a coach like Popovich, but Williams is the sort of unselfish, smart, hard-working player who could really shine in San Antonio.
