NBA Draft Round 2 winners and losers: LaMelo Ball on the move? Must the Celtics trade Jaylen Brown? And players were drafted as well?

Key Points:

• Jalen Brunson, selected 33rd overall in 2018 by the New York Knicks, is highlighted as one of the greatest second-round picks in NBA draft history, joining the ranks of Nikola Jokić, Manu Ginóbili, and Draymond Green.
• LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets is reportedly a trade target for multiple teams, including the Minnesota Timberwolves and Toronto Raptors, signaling potential upheaval for a Hornets team that had shown promise.
• The Boston Celtics are actively engaged in trade talks involving star Jaylen Brown, with uncertainty surrounding his future following the team's failed pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo and ongoing trade rumors.
• Bruce Thornton from Ohio State, selected 31st overall by the Houston Rockets after a series of trades, is seen as a valuable addition fitting well into Houston’s system, marking a win for the Rockets.
• Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies is expected to be traded amid declining trade interest and teams requiring first-round picks to take on his contract, while Cameron Boozer, the Grizzlies’ No. 3 overall pick, is positioned as the new franchise leader.
