MANILA, Philippines — There are new kids on the block in the NBA.

Two big men and a European superstar banner this year's NBA Draft. Get to know them through these short clips provided by NBA Philippines.

1. Phoenix Suns: Deandre Ayton, C, Arizona

The Suns are now getting a legitimate presence to plug the void in the middle. Standing at 7'0", Ayton is expected to bolster Devin Booker's marksmanship and scoring prowess. 



2. Sacramento Kings: Marvin Bagley III, C, Duke

The Kings earn a luxury to bolster their frontline after picking Blue Devils product Bagley. Pencilled as a pure forward who can play the 5-spot, the 6-foot-11 cager is seen to complement Willie Cauley-Stein's limited offensive skillset but robust defensive arsenal.



3. Atlanta Hawks: Luka Doncic, PG, Real Madrid

Faced with comparisons to Dirk Nowitzki, the young slasher out of Slovenia will have big shoes to fill at Dallas (he was traded by Atlanta for Trae Young). His versatility and already-vast experience put him in a better spot to immediately make his presence felt.
