- Can't go past Wiggins as the top pick he has got too much of an all-round game that would suit the NBA. With season averages of 19 ppg and a career high 43 points he can already show that he is a high volume scorer. He is also very athletic with many acrobatic dunks and alley oops in his highlight reel.
Jabari Parker - Duke - 6'8" PF/SF
Dante Exum - Australia - 6'6" PG
-I'm a bit bias here but he could go as high as number 1 his extreme size, athleticism, and skill set at the PG position put him on any teams list. He's a bit unknown as to how his game could compare in the NBA but he has that Aussie toughness and length that can cause trouble for any PG.
- Smart plays with passion, aggression and is always looking for his teammates who may be open. His game is very similar to Dwayne Wade and he is a sure bet for guard prospects in the top 10.
- After having a stress fracture in his back his draft stock has dropped drastically, with concerns over his longevity and if could be another Greg Oden. But before his injury he was a certain top 3 with his finishing abilities and defensive skills. If can prove is durability he will be a great player in the NBA.
Julius Randle - Kentucky - 6'9" PF
- Randle is a solid player in this draft he is very strong and athletic down low but its his perimeter and outside shooting that need work. In the post he is a beast and being a lefty gives him some added variety to his game. If he can fix his up and down games on the offensive side of the ball he can be a consistent performer in the NBA.
Gary Harris - Michigan State - 6'4" SG
- He is a guy who won't do anything amazing in the draft combine with his average length and athletic ability but he will win basketball games. He averages 17 ppg for the Spartans and if they can go deep in the NCAAs that will be huge for his draft stock.
He is about as close clone to Clay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors as your going to get. He is an outstanding shooter both spotting up and pulling up. He can be very up and down though like Thompson so like Randle consistency is a big key for him as a shooter. Defensively he does need a bit of work on muscling up and being a pest he tends to give away to much room.
Doug McDermott - Creighton - 6'8" SF
- The numbers he has put up this year have been hard to ignore, he shoots the ball at a high percentage and is a volume scorer. He reminds me of Ryan Anderson of the New Orleans Pelicans where he comes off screens and hits threes but can also create his own shot. He isn't very athletic but if he can keep shooting the ball, well that won't matter.
Willie-Cauley Stein - Kentucky - 7'0" C
- Cauley-Stein's prowess is more on defence where he averages 3 blocks 7 rebounds and 9 points a game. So he is a solid double double player and con do the same in the NBA. He plays very similar to Kris Humphries of the Boston Celtics where he can score, but is more effective doing work off the ball and on defence to help his team win. With not many bigs in the draft he can sneak in to the top 10 with a successful NCAA tournament.
