  9. Charlotte Hornets - Trey Lyles - PF - Kentucky 
  10. Miami Heat - Myles Turner - C - Texas 
  11. Indiana Pacers - Willie Cauley Stein - C - Kentucky
  12. Utah Jazz - Sam Dekker - SF - Wisconsin 
  13. Phoenix Suns - Frank Kaminsky - C - Wisconsin 
  14. Oklahoma City Thunder - Cameron Payne - PG - Murray State
  15. Atlanta Hawks - Kelly Oubre - SF - Kansas 
  16. Boston Celtics - Bobby Portis - PF - Arkansas

  20. Toronto Raptors - Montrezl Harrell - PF - Louisville 
  21. Dallas Mavericks - Delon Wright - PG - Utah
  22. Chicago Bulls - Justin Anderson - OG - Virginia 
  23. Portland Trail Blazers - Rondae Hollis Jefferson - SF - Arizona 
  24. Cleveland Cavaliers - R.J. Hunter - OG - Georgia State
  25. Memphis Grizzlies - Tyus Jones - PG - Duke
  26. San Antonio Spurs - Terry Rozier - PG - Louisville 
  27. Los Angeles Lakers - Rashad Vaughn - OG - UNLV 
  28. Boston Celtics - Jarell Martin - PF - LSU 
  29. Brooklyn Nets - Christian Wood - PF - UNLV 
  30. Golden State Warriors - Norman Powell - OG UCLA
Towns and Okafor seem certain to go 1-2, it's just a matter of who the Timberwolves want more.  I hear more positives about Towns at this point so he got my nod, I hear that Flip Saunders is really high on Okafor too though.  The Lakers will take whichever of the two that makes it to them.

My guess on the Suns comes down to Sam Dekker, Frank Kaminsky, Bobby Portis or Devin Booker, a lot kind of depends on who drops to them.  All 4 of these guys could fill a needed role for the team though, that being toughness and outside shooting.

On another note, I'm hoping the Timberwolves can package their 2 second round picks (31 & 36 overall) to move back into the first round to select Tyus Jones, he'd be a perfect fit for the Wolves.
