Was looking at this list from bleacher report and thought that a lot of these guys would be great for certain NBL teams. Number 5 would be great for Adelaide.

I'd be going after CJ Fair first - almost the same as Josh Pace but on a much higher scale and younger; Patric Young - very physical, heaps of talent and a winner; then JM McAdoo - his game will translate to the NBL in my opinion.
I don't know much about Jahii Carson or Deonte Burton but every NBL team has a high quality PG.
Anyone on that would be a hit in the NBL with the exception of Ross and Birch.
How about guys in the second round coming to the NBL a la James Ennis?
Roy Devyn Marble went to Orlando at #56 and is a nice all-round player unlikely to crack a squad that includes Oladipo and Fournier.
Jordan McRae at #58 is athletic and can shoot but probably won't make a 76ers squad that just brought home a ton of draftees.
Xavier Thames is a PG I'm quite high on. He went to Toronto at #59 before being traded the Nets. Being a win now team they're unlikely to sign him straight away and will be a option for the several teams in the NBL who sign import point guards.
