Pretty much anything that was not a top three pick was met with comments such as "waste of a tank" and whatnot. Yeah, high expectations and all that.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
But now that we know what we are dealing with, I still think there's talent here. The beauty of this? If you've read this blog and its frequently updated mocks, you'll know that my consensus generally doesn't match with the "wisdom of the crowd" aspect by Draftexpress, nbadraft.net and the particularly ill-informed like Chad Ford. With that in mind, sometimes it's better to trade back and get more bang for the buck--take advantage of the less informed, and use your information to make multiple picks.<br />
<br />
I'm assuming that Joel Embiid, Dante Exum and Jabari Parker would be gone by the time we get the 7th. But if <b>Marcus Smart</b> falls here...I'd take the guy. He ranks 2nd in my algorithm, and I think he's a major steal in a draft like this. I might also make a case for <b>Noah Vonleh</b>, who ranks well enough (9th) within the inset of our draft pick.<br />
<br />
I'm not completely sold on <b>Aaron Gordon</b> (21st). He's super young, but he's really hampered by that awful free throw percentage. Before you say, oh, that's definitely going to improve, keep in my mind he went something like 76-170. That's a huge sample space to work with, and that's among the worst free throw percentages in NCAA annals. He's fairly lukewarm, and not really extraordinary, in other categories. I think he's more personality and hard work than game, and while said hard work can improve the game, I think there are better prospects out there. He's known as a great team player and a team defender, but I wish he got more steals and blocks than what he put up.<br />
<br />
<b>Doug McDermott</b> (32nd) and <b>Julius Randle</b> (34th) qualify as what I think are busts especially when you're talking top ten picks by the wisdom of the crowd. I brought this up to a fellow stat geek: but Randle's oft-cited NBA comparison, Zach Randolph, shot 59% on 2's and had 2.8 blocks/steals per 40 minutes in his freshman year. Randle his freshman year? 51% on 2's (just awful for a big) and a paltry 1.6 blocks/steals per 40 minutes. He's significantly worse than Zach, and there's a certain belief in the stat geek that he's a bust. I just happen to keep docking him each time as my model grows more "informed".<br />
<br />
McDermott is that quintessential great college player, poor NBA player type. Yes, he can hit 2's. He can hit threes. And rebound. But some of the greatest predictive power comes from assists and steal/block combinations. When you're awful at both? That's a double whammy right there that undermines any great strength. For reference, another Creighton product, Kyle Korver, put up excellent steal/block and assist combinations at Creighton, in addition to great rebounding. That's the true Creighton product, not McDermott.<br />
<br />
So, there's only two names I'd really like: Marcus Smart and Noah Vonleh.<br />
<br />
So...what's the other option? Trading down. I'd trade 7th for 14th and the 18th picks, or to the Bulls for the 16th and 19th picks. There, we can fish out some real sleepers--<b>Nikola Jokic, Jordan Adams, Clint Capela, Elfrid Payton, Mitch McGary, Kyle Anderson, Nik Stauskas</b> and <b>Damien Inglis</b> are all popular choices at these slots. Late 1st rounders include <b>Spencer Dinwiddie</b> and <b>Adreian Payne</b>.<br />
<br />
If we fish out for 2nd rounders I'd recommend <b>Vasilije Micic, Taylor Braun, Kendrick Perry, Davion Berry, Jake Odum, Moussa Diagne</b> and <b>Javon McCrea</b>.<br />
<br />

These predictive markers, drawn from established approaches, often can tell whether a player has the goods to translate their work to the NBA level. And, for the most part, it works. But there is something invisible--like the dark matter of the universe--that can't be seen through general stats. Namely, this affects athletic point guards and athletic centers, usually in a the proper range (say, 6'10" to 7'1"). So I've incorporated conditions where incorporating numbers where PGs or Cs have to meet a certain barometer in order to get the raise that's needed for the NBA. As you'll see, there are names in the third chart below where there is very little chance, statistically, you can construe, say, a Taj Gibson, a Russell Westbrook, a Lance Stephenson, a Taj Gibson, a DeAndre Jordan, an Andre Drummond or a Chandler Parsons as first round picks. It's just incredibly hard to find that medium. I've created enough conditions in my algorithm where all of them land as first round picks, although many of them become centralized in the mid-first round (or for Stephenson's and Westbrook's case, a very early 2nd rounder).<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
This is obviously not a foolproof method--for starters, Shawn James, shotblocking extraordinaire and Cedric Simmons, two notable busts, ranked well in this algorithm--because it's hard to find severe weaknesses to really dock them for. But Hassan Whiteside and Alan Williams, two guys notable for their combination of zero passing and very low 2-point percentages, are docked. Also, guards or forwards who really can't score after a certain age are docked, and there are only a few of these cases. The age is key--Ricky Rubio and Holiday came into the league extremely young, and are exempt for this condition. You'll see this hurt Briante Weber a bit--there's a reason scouts aren't that high on him, and it's because he's on the older side and doesn't score.<br />
<br />
Without further ado, here's the results of this mock. I'd like to consider this my more accurate one, because this builds off what I thought was quite accurate in 5.0 and adds a historical context to allow others who might fare well:<br />

But it gets the consensus about the players as far as scouting is concerned. I've found there to be a very tight correlation between the number of dunks a player gets and their overall draft rank (of course, provided the player is competent to be in the top 100 of most mocks).<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
You know why Doug McDermott had to stay all four years in school? His game hasn't changed all that much, and all of a sudden he's a lottery pick. If he's a lottery pick now, why wasn't he a lottery pick say, two years ago, or last year? McDermott can shoot inside and outside and rebound competently, but he's slightly undersized for his true position (PF), puts up NCAA-levels of futility in steals and blocks by position, and with this adjustment (which he went down 17 slots in), is just a pathetic dunker. Maybe I'm putting up too stock in dunking, you say. Sure, then, go back to NBA Mock 5.0, where the flow of the draft perhaps looks more reasonable.<br />
<br />
But consider this: you know how there are players--I'm going to name drop them right now--say, Russell Westbrook, Jrue Holiday, Eric Bledsoe, Taj Gibson--who have been far better NBA players than what their college stats suggest? Those guys were all athletic. Primarily, we have a treasure trove of data suggesting that any 6'2" to 6'4" pseudo point/shooting guard with a high dunk rate tends to do far better in the league, and while Gibson preceded the dunk data I received, I also think he'd benefit with these adjustments.<br />
<br />
In current day, as mentioned, this hurts a guy like McDermott a lot. But, as you'll see in the 2015 mock draft, this really helps Willie Cauley-Stein and Montrezl Harrell, for starters. Cauley-Stein is a typical Tyson Chandler-esque type whose role will be simple at the next level: pick and roll for dunks, play excellent defense. With the dunk rate addition, he went up about six spots from mock draft 5.0. Montrezl Harrell flew about thirty spots from deep in the 2nd round to somewhere in the later half of the first round with the dunk rate. He was college basketball's leading dunker last year. Truthfully, I don't see all the hoopla about Harrell besides the fact that he's a dunker, really, as you can see in my scouting report--but with the obsession with dunking and how it can translate to the league, yep, he's this high.<br />
<br />
Other risers in the draft? Zach LaVine and Chane Behanan. LaVine went from 39th to 30th in this mock with the dunk add-in, and truthfully, that's about where he'll be drafted. Game-wise, he's overrated, and if you want a true game measurement, once again, I'd suggest mock draft 5.0. I'd like to consider both mock draft 5.0 and mock draft 6.0 stand-alone mocks, which depends on your inclination. But mock draft 6.0 is more accurate as it will be pertain to how scouts see things, and that's why this dunk project was created. Behanan was beset with attitude problems and declared for the draft, and while he's severely undersized, he's a frequent dunker and might have the athleticism to cut a place--he's considered a mid-2nd rounder.<br />
<br />
Jarnell Stokes fell to a late 1st rounder, which is a bit of the consensus as well. He doesn't dunk much, despite impressive stats. Besides McDermott, I'm also not sure about pure scorers like CleAnthony Early and TJ Warren--considering scoring is overrated, I'm not sure if their low assist, low rebound and high scoring games are really conducive to NBA success.<br />
<br />
Another thing is this hurts that UCLA duo a little bit. Scouts have really shaded Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams' games a bit because the idea is that they don't really have NBA athleticism--Adams somehow got through his sophomore season with 0 dunks, and Anderson, for being 6'9", rarely if ever dunks. They've built up too many points in my algorithm to really dock them off significantly, but they both fell a spot in mock 6.0.<br />
<br />
In 2015, you know how every person hates how Kevin Pangos' game will translate to the league? Another 0 dunker. He fell in this mock as well.<br />
<br />
I've tried to normalize the dunk rates by position, so those who dunk above the average of their listed position, will have an additive marker due to dunk rating, and same goes for negative. Internationals aren't affected, since we don't have dunk data for them (that was why I wanted to hold off from doing this project--we know Clint Capela dunks a lot, but does Dario Saric?). So this is a more informed mock for NCAA types, clearly, and I've left my original ratings from mock 5.0 on for the internationals.<br />
<br />

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
1) <b>Joel Embiid</b></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Scoring minded center who is a top notch finisher off set ups, with decent offensive rebounding. Just OK ability to draw fouls given frequency of at-rim attempts. Good passer for size, but for a set-up type, has to watch for turnovers.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Absolutely zero range, corroborated by poor free throw numbers.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Excellent build for a NBA center. Defensive behemoth, with an elite rating that would have ranked second last year in the NCAA on defense. Elite defensive rebounder. Elite defensive playmaker, not just with a ton of blocks but also some ability to get steals. Only problem here is has a super high foul rate which is why he does play beyond 18 minutes per game. Overall elite defensive attributes coupled with top notch at-rim finishing game reminds of Greg Oden.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
2) <b>Jusuf Nurkic</b></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Center with an excellent scoring rate, but does not pass the ball.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Good two point percentages, and currently beasting on the offensive glass, although carries a fairly average offensive rebounding aggregate. OK foul shooter as far as bigs are concerned, and has an excellent foul drawing framework.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Good frame for an NBA center. Good rebounder with decent enough defensive rebound rates. Absolute defensive hack who will struggle to last even half of an NBA game with sky high foul rates, but is a very active defensive playmaker, with very good stealing numbers for frame but also good shotblocking rates as well. A center with a legitimate scoring mentality, aggressive offensive rebounding rates, some touch and an active defensive disposition, and ultimately only his hack mentality is really holding him back.</div>

3) <b>Marcus Smart</b></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Dynamic shooting guard who possesses the top-notch usage rate, ability to utilize the entire floor, and isolation skills (only 35.75% of his shots are assisted) of a lead guard in the NBA.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Decent finisher, but real advantage lies in his excellent foul-drawing ability. Takes too many mid-range and three point jumpers off the dribble for his percentages (35% 2's, 29% 3's), but good free throw percentage gives hope. His slashing ability is the better option in the NBA. Has passing ability for a SG, but has to beware of turnovers.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Defensive monster. Insane stealer but also an excellent shotblocker for his size. Top notch rebounder. Decent frame. Two-way star potential. Has the potential to be a Dwyane Wade type in the NBA.</div>

4) <b>Jabari Parker</b></div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Scoring machine of a power forward. Commands a super high usage rate and aggressively puts himself in spot-up scoring positions, mostly from the perimeter. Puts the blinders on and does not pass the ball with spot-up style.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Bread and butter is top notch mid-range shooting (53.7%). Also really cashes in on spot-up threes (46.2%), but some sample size concerns and free throw shooting is just OK, but shooting should still be very good in the aggregate, given overall usage. Just an OK finisher at best for size off a mix of set ups and improvisation, but doesn't offensive rebound or draw fouls well given frequency of attempts.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Just an OK frame as far as a NBA power forward is concerned, and might be a little undersized. Slightly subpar defender. Decent defensive rebounder. Good defensive playmaker off a combination of steals and blocks. Spot-up mid-range scoring machine with some extra range is his billing, and has some defensive attributes, but nothing all that special there. His upside might be limited by his inability to play at the rim well, create or pass, and the overall defense is somewhat in question. A bit like Derrick Williams or Michael Beasley, possibly with better shooting, at this stage.</div>

--Possible mutual exclusion candidate with his ability to take threes and draw fouls, effectively using the entire floor.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very compact, mature scorer. Spot-up shooting guard, does an excellent job of scoring without the ball in his hands. Good finisher and foul drawer at the rim off passes, and appears far better at finishing when set up. Excellent mid-range shooter (45%, 38%) further confirmed by free throw shooting (82%, 84%). However, of note is that his at-rim finishing and mid-range shooting have really regressed this season. Improving spot up three point shooter, but might be fairly average in this aggregate, although mid-range and free throw shooting give hope. Not much of a passer, but does an excellent job of limiting turnovers, not surprising given his style of play.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Decent defender. Makes a ton of defensive plays with steals. Good frame for a NBA SG. Fair rebounder who has improved significantly here from freshman year. Might be a good tertiary scorer over time in the NBA, but lacks the passing and the ability to create offense for himself to take it up another level, but brings defensive attributes including stealing to the table, so somewhat underrated.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Excellent ability to draw fouls with very good two-point percentages for a shooting guard (54.3%). An absolute non-shooter though, but that does not stop him from taking threes, which he hits as an abysmal rate (25%), corroborated by very poor foul shooting (63.4%).</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Excellent build, even for a NBA SG, even if slight of frame. Very good rebounder for size. Just a decent defensive playmaker, but not much of a shotblocker. Controls fouls quite well. Overall, an good ballhandling scorer with a major ability to draw fouls, a good build and good rebounding ability, but does not have a point guard mentality at all and really struggles to shoot from anywhere.</div>

7) <b>Noah Vonleh</b></div>

--Undersized center who is an absolutely scoring machine off isolation and improvisation (only 43.8% of his shots are assisted). Plays primarily at the rim and is an awful finisher for his size, but excellent offensive rebounder for size and is has a stratospheric foul drawing rate. Turnover prone. Doesn't pass. A bundle of activity at the rim with great athletic traits magnified by usage, but unrefined with awful finishing and turnovers.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Rarely takes jumpers or displays any sort of range, but there is hope given a large sample size of OK free throw percentages, and is shooting 50% on mid-range J's on minimal attempts.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Just an awful body frame that is two positions down from what is height would suggest. Simply not a forward between the lack of handles and range. Still, an absolute defensive machismo which would have ranked first last year at his current rate. Elite defensive rebounder even with lack of size that would compete with the top of the top of NCAA players. Good defensive playmaker, but better stealer than he is shotblocker. Could stand to control fouls. Overall, an undersized center who is unrefined offensively inside and lacks range currently outside but an incredible hustle player and draws a ton of fouls, and defends extremely hard and clears the defensive boards. </div>

--Scoring-minded small forward who takes half of his shots as preferred set-up shots at the rim. Just a decent finisher and just a decent ability to draw fouls given attempts. Good ballhandler given creation levels, but not a passer.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Good pull-up jumper. Just an average spot-up three point shooter at this stage, and poor free throw percentages and fewer attempts might mean his long range shot is just OK at best.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very good build for a NBA small forward. Good defender. Good rebounder. Decent defensive playmaker. Never fouls. Overall, Wiggins has no severe limitations, although the lack of passing and possible range efficacy are definite upside concerns, but he could be a jack of all trades, master of none type, as his defense looks the strongest above anything.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Lacks a robust offensive style, but extremely efficient, shooting two-pointers very well by position, and also having some level of shooting ability (40% from three in a fair number of attempts, plus 73.1% foul shooting).</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Good build for a NBA SF. Top notch rebounder for size and by position, with excellent ability to clear the defensive boards. Just an OK defensive playmaker. In due time, can be a point forward of sorts with an ability to rebound and score from both inside and out, so there is potential, and his issues are correctable.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Poor finisher especially for size, and better off set-ups on this end. Reduced at-rim attempts this season but improved foul drawing. Significantly improved mid-range pull up from last year, but it might be just decent in the aggregate so far, corroborated by decent free throw percentage gives hope. Far improved three point shooting, but limited sample, although there is some hope of improving it given average mid-range aggregate.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Top notch defender. Piles up many steals and blocks. Insane rebounder at the small forward position, especially at the defensive glass. Very good frame for position. Improving offense, even with finishing and long range concerns, might project him to be like an Evan Turner type, relying on defense and PG skills above other qualities.</div>

--Low usage caretaker PG. Exquisite court vision and excellent ballhandling ability who really, really limits turnovers despite a heavily isolation-based game.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Decent scorer. Prefers to get to the basket off the dribble and draws fouls somewhat, but awful finisher. Awful pull-up jumper. Good three point shooter, even off the dribble, and might be a decent shooter given decent free throw percentages, but only that. Really should just be a three point shooter at this stage.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very good defender. Very good build for a NBA PG. Elite defensive playmaker who bags an absolute ton of steals. Decent rebounder for size. Never fouls. A surprisingly refined freshman prospect, with very good potential on defense but also a ton of discipline with passing and ballhandling on offense, although on offense might have to rely more on a decent three point shot, given that he lacks dynamics to run the offense for a long period and a reliable game inside the three point line. A bit of a Steve Blake/Mike Conley cross potentially on offense and defense.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Top notch offensive rebounder. Good two point percentages, but very questionable offensive framework, not drawing fouls well but also showing extremely poor foul shooting. Strictly a catch and finish player on offense, likely.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Good frame for an NBA PF, but really needs to put on weight. Very good shotblocker with side ability to rack up steals for size. Top notch rebounder, with good defensive rebounder. Surprisingly fairly decent at limiting fouls, given defensive playmaking. Has all the rebounding, frame, defensive playmaking, and foul limiting ingredients to make a mark defensively, but offensively likely limited to just finishing at the rim.</div>

--Shooting guard with a good spot-up scoring game. Limits turnovers given style of game, and has improved his passing to OK levels.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Poor finisher at the rim off preferred passes, but on top of that doesn't draw fouls given at-rim frequency. Has made a switch to more threes compared to last year, but shooting on that front has regressed. Still overall, a robust shooter (38.9% 2's, 37.7% 3's, 78.7% FTs) but these numbers suggest more good than great. Easily more of a scorer than a shooter.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Good build for a NBA SG. Fairly good defender with good ability to get steals just decent defensive playmaking ability. Awful rebounding ability. Might be relegated to being a jumpshooting scorer in the NBA with defensive chops, but the inability to rebound, pass that well or finish at the rim hinders his potential significantly.</div>

--Extremely undersized, scoring-minded PF with a very high usage and an isolation-preferred scoring mentality. Despite a PF-handling base, not selfish.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Plays primarily an at-rim game. Awful use of the offensive floor because while he's a decent finisher off improvisation with very good offensive rebounding, really struggles to draw fouls given frequency of at-rim shots. Might possibly be a better mid-range jumpshooter off the dribble, but overall subpar shot even though he's featuring it more in his game, corroborated by very poor free throw shooting.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very good defender. Excellent defensive playmaker who gets a very good combination of both steals and blocks. Elite rebounder for size, but rather ordinary on the defensive boards. Very poor frame for a NBA, given tweener status. Needs to put his defense to the forefront, because he might lack range for the NBA and do most of his offensive work through o-boards--very reminiscent of Chuck Hayes.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very good finisher with a knack for offensive rebounding and tipping in shots very accurately, but not the best at drawing fouls given frequency of at-rim attempts. Absolutely horrid pull-up mid-range game (19%, 20%) but questionable three point accuracy (30, 34%), and both jumper forms are corroborated by subpar free throw shooting. Subpar use of the offensive floor.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Good defender. Insane defensive playmaker with a very high rate for shotblocking for size, but also a few steals. OK rebounder at best for size. A tweener between both forward positions, and his overall ball skills suggest that he operates best as a face-up power forward, in which case he has an awful frame for his size. Even as a face-up PF, he might lack the jumpshooting ability to fulfill that role. A major athlete however who can finish and defend, and hustles in terms of defensive playmaking and offensive rebounding, which can get him a major role as a Alonzo Gee type, but might find it better to shrink his game to his strengths and be more fulfilling as a Jerome Williams type.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Might lack range (26, 34% mid-range J's) but takes about a third of his shots as off-the-dribble jumpers, which is further corroborated by very poor free throw shooting. Center-like handles.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Excellent defender. Excellent rebounder. Very good defensive playmaker who accrues a combination of steals and blocks. Might be a tweener, with a subpar frame if he is a NBA center. Appears to be very athletic in doing glue-guy type attributes without the ball in his hands, but might lack a consistent means of scoring, although he can rely on his work on the defensive end.</div>

--Very high usage scoring machine of a power forward with incredible isolation ability (only 32.18% of shots assisted). Preferred perch is at-rim where he is a very good finisher mostly off improvisation and elite offensive rebounding. Moreover, absolutely insane knack for drawing fouls given usage. An absolute force to be reckoned with in the paint. Very turnover prone, and that is the best way to stop him around the basket.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Also takes over a third of his shots from mid-range but subpar (33.3%), although could round out to be OK given decent free throw percentages (73.3%).</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Elite, top notch defender. Absolute rebounding machine extends to elite defensive rebounding ability. Good frame for a NBA PF. Leverages fouls extremely well. Only quibble is absolutely pathetic defensive playmaking ability, and nonexistent shotblocker. Has three elite attributes--all-around at-rim game, rebounding, and defense--which may make him a very souped up, athletic version of Zach Randolph, but might lack super upside given severe lack of defensive playmaking. His other weaknesses--mid-range game and turnovers are attributes that can improve with time.</div>

--Poor 2-point shooter for a big (50%) who doesn't draw fouls, but decent offensive rebounder. Takes a few three pointers with OK percentages for size, but awful foul shooter might make it unsustainable.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Good build for a NBA center, but really needs to add weight. Top notch defensive playmaker with an elite ability to accrue steals by position, but also a good shotblocker. Needs to control fouls, wouldn't last half of an NBA game. Awful rebounder with an absolutely pathetic defensive rebound rate. Lack of weight, rebounding and major foul proneness undercut deflection potential, and all aspects of his offense are weak. Only a deflecting big, but young enough to improve from here.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Middling scorer with a decent ability to use the entire floor. Lethal weapon driving to the rim, as in addition to being an insane foul drawer, has become an excellent finisher for his size. Unfortunately, range only extends to the paint. Nonexistent pull-up jumper (21%, 30%) but that doesn't stop him from taking it, and lacks range. Awful free throw shooter. Has passing ability at the SG spot, but is a turnover machine.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very good defender. Very good defensive playmaker. Good rebounder. Just an OK body for his position. Extremely underweight. Overall, has very unique two-way strengths with the ability to drive to the rim and finish or draw fouls, with shades of passing ability, on top of the defense. At the very least the defense should hold up, but the offense might be severely affected by the completely nonexistent jumper.</div>

Excellent finisher at the rim off set ups and improvisations, but just an average offensive rebounder and not impressive at drawing fouls given frequency of attempts.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Might not have a jumper. Absolutely broken pull-up jumper corroborated by awful free throw numbers, but that does not stop him from taking them. However, has shot well in very few spot-up threes.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Top notch defender who would have ranked third last year with his current rating. Excellent rebounder who really clears out the defensive glass. Controls fouls well. Decent build for position, but severely underweight. Nondescript for position in defensive playmaking. Has a great athletic base in really finishing, rebounding and defending extremely well, and skills in handles, but athletic upside on most ends might be limited by just OK to poor ability to make defensive plays or draw fouls. Skills-wise, he can be a PF, but he is underweight, and at SF he lacks the jumper, so tweener issues are on top of that.

Subpar in finishing at the rim off drives, but insane foul drawing ability and capitalizes with excellent free throw shooting. Has developed a better pull-up jumper this season. --Decent three point shooter, but clearly more effective with spot-up threes which he took way more of last year. Has a combination of a good scoring and shooting for the NBA, but the happy medium is probably creating while inside the three point line and spotting up outside of it. Excellent ballhandler, but not really a creator for teammates despite the usage.</div>

--Average defender at best. Underwhelming at making defensive plays. Pathetic rebounder for his size. Excellent frame for his position, looks the part of the NBA SG.

--Has more dimensions than just a long range specialist. Does a good job of drawing fouls given frequency of jumpers and considering that he rarely penetrates, with insane foul drawing rates in his sophomore year. Does finish well in rare at-rim ventures. Improved pull-up jumper. Also, can almost play point at a pinch, because he really limits turnovers. Good passer, but not a full-out playmaker.</div>

Completely lacks the athleticism on the defensive end, but has really maximized his skills on offense, with foul drawing, pull-ups, good passing and ballhandling to complement a very good long range jumper.

--Decent scoring, slightly undersized center who plays a set-up inclined, inside-outside offensive game. Major tunnel vision, but limited turnovers better this year.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very good finisher at the rim off inclined set ups, but doesn't go after offensive rebounds or draw fouls well. Very good mid-range shooter (38, 42, 44% last three seasons) in inclined spot-up situations. Starting experimenting with spot-up threes the past two years with very good results (38, 43%), with OK free throw shooting but very good recent foul numbers, so his ability to shoot is believable.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very good defender. Has become a far more invested defensive rebounder the past two years, but the aggregate suggests merely decent rebounding overall. Good defensive playmaker, but this season cut down his rate of shotblocking to poor levels in order to control fouls better, as he was foul prone in the past. A bit of a poor frame as a NBA center. Has definite two-way potential for the NBA, as a spot-up, face-up center with shooting ability on offense and some shotblocking and good defensive ability.</div>

31) <b>Dario Saric</b></div>

--Forward who might encounter positional issues in the NBA. Has grown more aggressive in personal offense, but very subpar scorer in the aggregate. Very good passer for size, but also forces passes and very turnover prone.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very active on the o-boards as a SF. Very questionable shooter, with very subpar three point shot also limited by small-ish sample space, along with slightly subpar free throw percentages. Extremely poor aggregate two-point percentages for his size, and does not draw fouls well at all considering infrequency of three point attempts. Between turnovers, shoddy inside-outside shooting, and very low scoring, might really struggle offensively in the NBA.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Top notch build if he is to be a NBA small forward. Top notch rebounder also as an SF, with good defensive rebounding. Just an OK defensive playmaker off some combination of steals and blocks, at best, but incredibly foul prone even if slightly improved. Does not have the requisite floor spacing to be a NBA SF, but as a PF his rebounding is just decent and his two point shooting very poor, so a tweener. Mostly a good rebounding passer, but awful for personal offense and foul prone and nondescript on defense. Lacks a NBA niche.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Offense regressed this season. Both mid-ranger and at-rim finishing plummeted this season. Might have little to no jumper to speak of, with poor free throw percentages and an awful (30%) spot-up inclined aggregate. Just a decent finisher in the aggregate, but poor for his size this year, and seems to finish better off improvisation, via top notch offensive rebounding ability. Does draw fouls fairly well given frequency.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Money is made with defense. Top ten defender in college, but subpar build for an NBA center who needs to add weight. Absolute monster defensive playmaker, near the top ten in NCAAs in blocking shots. Very good rebounder who is also a pretty good defensive rebounder, but contests offensive boards better. Limits fouls well given defensive playmaking. Has all the principles of defense down--the actual defense, shotblocking, and the ability to limit fouls, but undersized build and lack of general inside-outside offense and ball skills hurt significantly. A one-way player, but that one-way is top notch.</div>

--Middling scorer who displays excellent ability to use the whole floor. Very poor finisher off his own dribble, but has become decent with more set ups and draws fouls very well. Average pull-up jumper at best. Appears to be an average three point shooter, but has taken many off the dribble throughout his college career, and once again appears to be decent off the catch. Good free throw shooter.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Poor defender and rebounder. Average defensive playmaker. Decent frame. Lacks the finishing ability, ability to create and defense to be a starting NBA PG, and his best bet is to calm himself into a spot-up scoring style with passing to be a decent backup.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Pretty good two-point percentages. OK offensive framework equally sharing some foul drawing and three point attempts, but subpar free throw shooting and even more subpar three point shooting makes his overall jumper extremely questionable for the NBA.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Just an OK frame for a NBA SG. Extremely underwhelming as a defensive playmaker, with steals but also has zero blocks for his size so far. Awful rebounder not up to snuff with defensive rebounding. Would be far better as a 6'4" PG, which he could be, and shows some base scoring ability inside the two-point line, but questionable athletic markers (relative lack of foul drawing, athletic defensive markers), questions on jumper, and major turnover proneness are issues. With a lot of hard work to refine, has a slightly similar base game to Goran Dragic, though.</div>

--Extremely spot-up inclined scoring machine with a high usage rate. Has a roughly even distribution of shot attempts at-rim, mid-range and from deep, but reduced mid-range attempts for more threes this season. Not a passer at all. An absolute black hole, and while limits turnovers with spot-up style, handles are at center levels. Might be far better scoring as an undersized big.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Finishes very well around the basket off set ups for size, and also draws fouls well given at-rim frequency, but subpar offensive rebounder who virtually didn't bother here this past season. Much improved shooter this season (39.5% spot-up inclined 2's, 37.3% spot-up threes) but could be fairly average on both counts in the aggregate, although a very good foul shooter which lends credence to improved shooting.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Decent defender, but absolutely awful build if he is two positions down (NBA center). Awful rebounder if he is to be a center. Subpar defensive rebounder. Just a decent defensive playmaker, who if he is to be a big, is a better stealer than shotblocker by position. A real tweener who might find it easier to play his all-around spot-up scoring in a big role, but will really struggle by size, rebounding and lack of defensive attributes on that front.</div>

--Scoring-minded, high-usage power forward who majorly puts the blinders on, but limits turnovers extremely well with style of game. With higher usage this season, grew even more selfish.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very polished inside-outside offensive game. Excellent finisher at the rim, this season off more decent-ish offensive rebounding, but just awful at drawing fouls. Very good mid-range jumper as well, but appears to be far better spotting up than off the dribble, but a bit of a grain of salt given suspect free throw percentages. Has experimented with the three ball in small samples with just OK results.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--OK frame at best that might be undersized by several inches, especially given near center-like game. OK defensive playmaker, with fairly quick hands for steals, but not a shotblocker. Flat out awful defender, compounded by absolutely pitiful, near nonexistent defensive rebounding which would rank in the bottom ten of even college PFs. Awful rebounder in general for size. Makes lack of fouling look like sheer laziness. The real lack of defensive attributes for a big (height, rebounding, shotblocking, and general defense) really, really undermines his suspect offense, which while polished, lacks the foul drawing and passing ability to really optimize them. Between lack of foul drawing, rebounding, and shotblocking might just lack the athleticism. Very situational player in for some offense at the aggregate.</div>

--Somewhat low usage spot-up shooting guard with just decent scoring chops. Unselfish, but doesn't pass the ball at combo guard levels, but does limit turnovers. Plays a very conservative style of offense which with lack of usage and great passing skill might indicate a lack of offensive upside.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Uses usage to mix up set-up shots at the rim and threes. Good shooter from deep, even off the dribble, and also extremely adept in his rare ventures for mid-range pull ups, but poor free throw shooting might indicate some problems here. Poor finisher off set ups, and really, really struggles to draw fouls given frequency of attempts. Further lack of offensive upside is the double whammy inability to attack the rim and draw fouls.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Decent build for a NBA SG, but needs to add weight. Very poor defender. Underwhelming defensive playmaker who brings little in way of steals. Awful rebounder for a shooting guard. Very little nose for the ball. On offense, he's an unselfish three point shooter, largely, but there are major questions about ability to create own offense or do much at the rim, and on defense he's lacking everywhere, and it's questionable whether his very niche offense is able to make up for his lack of defense. Needs seasoning.</div>

--An absolute sharpshooter who goes lights out when spotting up. Elite mid-range (41, 47, 39%) and three point and absolutely insane three point percentages (47, 49%) the past two years, and corroborated with excellent free throw shooting. Has become a top notch finisher at the rim off passes as well, but could do a better job of drawing fouls. Not a passer, but limits turnovers as a spot-up type. and has a very poor use of the entire floor, meaning that he could be taking more threes to further optimize his already great efficiency.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Awful defender. Probably has the worst defensive playmaking rate of all of college basketball, with completely nonexistent stealing and shotblocking ability. Excellent rebounder especially for size. Decent frame for an NBA power forward. Will need to be hidden on the defensive end. It's easy to see his spot-up elite shooting game translating to the NBA level in a sort of Matt Bonner type role, with some rebounding on top of it, but needs to make sure he's not hemorrhaging as much on defense.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Plays an equal share of at-rim/mid-range basketball. Just an OK finisher at best at-rim, but very good offensive rebounder for size to manufacture a few points, and draws fouls well given frequency. Really held back what appears to be just an OK mid-range jumper, but with further grains of salt due to subpar free throw shooting and a major lack of range.</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Very good build for a NBA SF, and a very good defender. Just OK in accruing defensive plays through a combination of steals and blocks. While a very good rebounder for a SF, just a OK defensive rebounder who has a far greater zest on on the o-boards. More of a meat-and-potatoes defender here, which limits the defensive upside here a bit. Overall will need to rely on defense, but really lacks any NBA viability on offense and lacks great defensive upside, and with lack of range it's questionable whether he can fit the bill as a NBA SF.</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;">
--Isolation player within minimal usage. Uses usage to mostly slash to the basket off the dribble, but awful finisher although has an ability to draw fouls. His jumper has gone well south after a promising first two seasons, when he shot a 45% aggregate in mid-range pull-ups and 37% from three; last season, he shot 33 and 30, and this season, 23 and 32, and that is a huge red flag. Shrinking his three point attempts each passing year, and with just OK free throw percentage aggregate, might simply now lack the range and jumper efficacy for the NBA.</div>

--Good stocky build for the position. Excellent defender. Very good at making defensive plays, in particular with very quick hands for steals. Nondescript rebounder.

Another update. Hopefully it's the last one (likely is in terms of algorithm changes). I feel very comfortable that I've addressed many of the key issues with NBA-translatable skills.<br />

My metric here now includes, in addition to favoring "intelligent" athletes like Elfrid Payton and Aaron Gordon, now has a stealing/rebounding metric which favors the Willie Cauley-Steins and Mitch McGarys. So assist rate and steal rate are now key (Sim Bhullar--that's how I dock you off, as you're underwater in both categories). Without further ado:<br />

Surprises that differ from previous mocks: look at Javon McCrea. 15th. I think this Buffalo-bred prospect is extremely underrated. He's a 6'6" power forward, but he's highly intelligent and packs athletic markers. if he were 6'9" he'd be an instant lottery pick with name recognition. In my mock, he still is, because I'm more than willing to bet he can work around his lack of height.<br />
<br />
Newly declared Kristaps Porzingis makes his entry as the 18th best pick. His best assets are an ability to rack up steals and blocks in combination for his height.<br />
<br />
Is Kendrick Perry an Isaiah Thomas clone with Ty Lawson attributes? Just throwing that out there...but in five years, don't be surprised if you go back to this page and said, "Damn. That guy was right."<br />
<br />
Lunchpail rebounding/finishing/stealing Mitch McGary gets a slot in the late 1st round. Yes!<br />
<br />
Is Jake Odum a poor man's Jason Kidd? There are rebounding and defensive playmaking metrics definitely on his side, and foul drawing too. Kendall Marshall he is not, as Marshall was broad-based awful in those areas.<br />
<br />
I'm going to lump the concerns about CleAnthony Early and Adreian Payne together. Both are seniors on the older side, who score well--but are really, really hampered by awful assist numbers that might completely hamper them. Considering they are seniors and still sport awful assist to turnover ratios against players younger than them, that's a huge red flag. Early ranks higher because even though he's effectively a 6'8" center in handles and vision, I have reason to believe he's a better scorer for sure, and possibly better shooter than Payne (both in 2-pointers and free throws). Payne rebounds better and gets more blocks, but I'm not completely convinced he can really shoot the ball from deep, and his rebound and defensive playmaking rate are decent but not great by position. But, really. It's the assist rate, above anything else. Really, really important. Payne had focus issues early in his career, and I question whether he's a high b-ball IQ type player with an assist rate like that.<br />
<br />
Doug McDermott slides another ten spots down to 39. He has a very low assist rate and steal rate--he isn't going to work in an algorithm that emphasizes this, and to be honest that's more generous than my first ranking when I had him at 57th. There's some emphasis to scoring and percentages here that do save him somewhat.<br />
<br />
I moved Sim Bhullar down! *rejoice* Basically, ask yourself this question: how many sub 6-foot guards are there in the league over post-7'2" centers? There are more sub-6 footers, so we have to penalize the super tall ones, which I did. Quite significantly, using a height factor. There--so all you people calling Bhullar a stiff can be satisfied now.<br />
<br />
No other surprises. We all know Rodney Hood is a big bust. Also, avoid overhyped gunner guards like Jordan Clarkson and Jabari Brown.<br />
<br />

<br />
Well, now that I've encoded metrics that really emphasize steals, look who really flies up--Briante Weber. Weber's more of a caretaker PG because he doesn't handle the ball or shoot the ball from deep, but his stealing and rebounding metrics are extremely impressive. His free throw percentage is good, which gives hope to the abysmal three point numbers, too. I think he'll eke out an interesting role. Not a starter because everyone loves scoring point guards, but he plays within himself and there's a lot of athleticism at work. And you need athletic points.<br />
<br />
Willie Cauley-Stein moves up. If he entered this draft he'd be 18th. Hey, at least that's ahead of Julius Randle. I have a few concerns about his defensive rebounding above anything else, and his free throw shooting and lack of scoring (even DeAndre Jordan and Andre Drummond had better scoring rates in their freshmen years compared to Cauley-Stein's sophomore year). So that's why he's there.<br />
<br />
Wichita State sports Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet as their major first rounders. That CleAnthony Early guy? So overrated. It's Baker and VanVleet doing the work. Louisiana Tech also has a guard called Alex Hamilton. Villanova has a super talented freshman no one knows named Josh Hart. But they will know him soon.<br />
<br />
Branden Dawson moves up. Remember Jerome Williams? The Junkyard Dog? Dawson reminds me of that. Underrated passer too--he's intelligent. That's why he's there.<br />
<br />
TaShawn Thomas is a major sleeper, but presumably transferring out of Houston (according to reports). He's a NBA talent.<br />
<br />
Sorry. I can't rescue Montrezl Harrell with the same algorithm that I used to rescue McGary and Cauley-Stein. He led college in dunks, but so what? I'm not sure he can do much on offense beyond dunking, and he doesn't rebound well enough (or make enough defensive plays) for me to be super confident on the defensive end (not to mention average height at 6'9").<br />
<br />
Andrew Harrison is so overrated by draft outlets (both Harrisons are, but Andrew is SIGNIFICANTLY worse). So is Wayne Selden.<br />
<br />
Undrafted candidates? Jabari Bird is just a shooter. Dime a dozen. Show a few more edges to his game, that is necessary. Caris LeVert is coming across the same way. Marcus Lee somehow had 0 steals in 24 games this season (how is that possible?). Kaleb Tarczewski is heading down bust-ville--in particular, how can a 7-footer block so few shots for his size? Chris Walker is all athleticism (that matters, but he's not hitting the relevant metrics, and his game feels awfully unintelligent--drawing more fouls and improving on that free throw percentage will help, but that assist rate--yikes). Alex Poythress was overrated his first year, and this year--well, it speaks for itself.<br />
<br />

But I got some twitter advice from well-informed stat geeks, and I've decided to add a potential rating to my previous algorithm--while my previous algorithm already emphasized this to some degree, this magnifies categories such as 2-point percentage, steals, blocks, rebounds, assist rate and age. This gets a more accurate reflection of where the prospects seemingly stand now; previously my algorithm hated guys like Elfrid Payton, Aaron Gordon, and a few others. Without further ado:<br />

<br />
Any surprises? First things first: this is a European strong draft. The tall, burly European bigs rank well--Jusuf Nurkic and Nikola Jokic--and both will be major steals (Nurkic is projected as a mid-1st rounder, or late lottery at best; Jokic, is considered an early to mid-2nd rounder by most outlets). The stat geek consensus has ALWAYS been high on Jordan Adams, and this one is no different; he hits a ton of metrics few do, and he ranks 7th. Damien Inglis and Clint Capela really scored strongly as well; for Inglis, that's another major steal candidate. He's only 19 and he's quite productive in the core metrics I chart.<br />
<br />
Because I now account for upside, Elfrid Payton really rises to where the consensus places him--early 20s (22nd here in my mock). Aaron Gordon saw a rise to 16th as well, but I still think his shooting and a few other issues make him fall short of a direct lottery talent. The shooters fell, and that's the way it should be: scouts often use their "eye" test on athleticism, and that often manifests itself the most in steals, blocks, and perhaps 2-point percentage. Doug McDermott's awful steal and block rates saw him down to the last pick in the first round, and that's the consensus: his offense will likely be shrunk, but the fact that he's undersized and will need to covered up on defense makes him a pick down in the middle, despite his offensive exploits. Nik Stauskas saw a similar drop to 20th due to athleticism concerns.<br />
<br />
People keep asking me...why is 7'5", purported stiff, Sim Bhullar so high? To be fair, I have an additive counter for height relative to position, so Sim gains a ton of points there. I'm thinking about flipping it for centers, because face it, center is the only position where after a certain height, there are diminishing returns. We don't see too many behemoths there nowadays. Sim's been productive in core center stats, and it's hard to tell he's a stiff based on the counting stats.<br />
<br />
There are several senior guards--Davion Berry and Kendrick Perry--who really deserve longer looks, as they rank into the 1st round. Both played at Portsmouth this year. Berry in particular might serve as a shooting guard doppelganger to fellow Weber State guard Damian Lillard--poor steal rate, but has a bag of offensive tricks, both inside and outside the three point line, and he's a respectable passer. Perry hits a lot of core metrics even though he's short, but the guy has a 6'6" wingspan.<br />
<br />
The scorers don't rate well. As stat geeks will tell you, scoring is one of the least valuable predictors of NBA success--because it's so common. That's reflected in TJ Warren and CleAnthony Early, who are early to late 30s type picks. Warren might have a bunch of nifty runners and floaters, but he doesn't draw fouls, rebound, or defend as he should be, so he might be situational.<br />
<br />
There are also a bunch of international players littered through the 2nd round. Guillem Vives and Moussa Diagne, two guys who might make the casual fan watching television on draft night go "who the hell is that guy?" are real sleepers. I have Vives rated as a 6'4" PG with a good game inside the three point line, and Diagne fell from my latest mock, but is an athletic, tall big.<br />
<br />
The 50s are littered with older players or upperclassmen. I've tried to find some combination of metrics that would elevate McGary, but...as of now, he's just generic. He gets some steals and blocks, rebounds extremely well, and can finish at the rim. He rose from using my new potential rater, but I don't feel that I should give that rater greater precedence just to help McGary even more. He's a late 2nd round pick in my book.<br />
<br />
There's also familiar names like Nick Johnson, Markel Brown, Jordan Clarkson...all at the back half of the 2nd. These players all have their weaknesses, besides age to some degree. I feel like Johnson and Clarkson were in a catch 22--they couldn't raise their stock any more than they did had they returned, and right now they are likely at their apex, but according to metrics, it isn't quite good enough. Johnson would be best served to gain point guard skills, and Clarkson can hone them, but you are what you are at this stage, so there's that.<br />
<br />
Undrafted surprises: Adreian Payne. I was torn here. If you read my primer, I've actually liked the guy's game, and can see him as a floor spacer and a plus defender in the league, and frankly, that's all you need. But, he's old. The front half of his career was poor (if it was good, he would have left college by now). So, there's that question: which one is the real Payne? Payne has improved every year since his sophomore year though, but that question still lingers, and my metric docks him severely for the front half, unfortunately. And age. Age. Age.<br />
<br />
Rodney Hood. Nothing to say here. Every stat geek hates him. He's the one guy in the mid-1st round, besides Payne, who seems to rank poorly. He's ranked poorly in the algorithm I've started out with and every subsequent algorithm. The guy can create shots from the mid-range, but everything else is a con. It's amazing how he's even ranked high by draft outlets.<br />
<br />
Dwight Powell, Semaj Christon, DeAndre Daniels, and Jahii Carson are all hype and likely very little game for the NBA.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Comments here: Delon Wright is the real deal. Every single one of the metrics loves him. Even my scouting report primer loves the guy. He's Dorell Wright's younger brother, but he plays in obscurity down at Utah. Had he entered the 2014 Draft, I had him as a mid-lottery pick (7th) talent-wise. Really athletic finisher who is a 6'5" point guard. A legit point guard--he was within my point guard inset metrics, not just a combo.<br />
<br />
Stat geeks all love Bobby Portis, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (who really rose after my potential metric was added in) and Frank Kaminsky, so no need for further comment. All of them could have easily been first round picks, talent-wise in this draft. RJ Hunter is a personal favorite of mine as a Danny Green clone.<br />
<br />
The first international, Aleksandar Vezenkov, has very poor steal, block and foul drawing markers, but he passes well for his size and can score both on 2's and 3's quite efficiently. And all that at age 19. He's someone to take a longer look at, even if he plays an old man's game. That didn't stop Dario Saric.<br />
<br />
Ron Baker is someone who ranks well. He's very efficient inside the 2-point line in additional to the three point line, and draws fouls and pinch point guard. He doesn't have great defensive metrics, which isn't surprising, but there's something Nik Stauskas-esque about him. Unfortunately, until the tourney, no one knew who he was, and that's the problem, as with Delon Wright; visibility.<br />
<br />
Jerian Grant and Alan Williams are stat geek favorites as well. Jerian can't score inside the three point line but he's a legitimate 6'5" PG. Alan Williams puts up metrics that reek of a 6'10" big. If he were 6'11" he's a lottery pick. I acquired some dunk data and Williams rarely dunks. I didn't penalize him for that, but that might be reflected in his low 2-point percentages.<br />
<br />
Shaq Goodwin remind anyone of a DeMarre Carroll once he enters the league?<br />
<br />
I'm not sure why my metric really hates Willie Cauley-Stein the way the draft sites seem to love him. It also hates Montrezl Harrell (mid-2nd rounder) and Mitch McGary, so maybe there's something about big men who finish and defend well that it hates. Joel Embiid didn't suffer from it though (as the consensus #1 pick), although Cauley-Stein's inability to corral defensive boards and awful scoring/foul-shooting numbers are something to note.<br />
<br />

These players may not have the stats, but when they step on the court, they spatially warp the floor in ways that prove beneficial to their team. The top players are in the top 100 for offense, defense, or both categories (in the case of two way). It is out of 430 total NBA players. Years remaining includes this year as well.<div>

According to what is above, it looks like Matthew Dellavedova should win it. He plays purposeful basketball on both ends of the court. Also, note that the majority of these players (Ryan Kelly, Jeff Withey, Nate Wolters, Nick Calathes, Robbie Hummel, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope) I had rated very highly in my mock draft algorithms at the time of those drafts. Anthony Bennett and Dennis Schroder, the two who cluster the bottom of this list, ranked very low--Bennett ranked 25th, and Schroder couldn't cut my top 60. </div>

Hopefully this post was enlightening using Standardized RPM to establish player hierarchies for both offense and defense.</div>

<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Here's my mock draft for the first round:<br />
<br />
1) Joel Embiid<br />
--Scoring minded center who is a top notch finisher off set ups, with decent offensive rebounding. Just OK ability to draw fouls given frequency of at-rim attempts. Good passer for size, but for a set-up type, has to watch for turnovers.<br />
--Absolutely zero range, corroborated by poor free throw numbers.<br />
--Excellent build for a NBA center. Defensive behemoth, with an elite rating that would have ranked second last year in the NCAA on defense. Elite defensive rebounder. Elite defensive playmaker, not just with a ton of blocks but also some ability to get steals. Only problem here is has a super high foul rate which is why he does play beyond 18 minutes per game. Overall elite defensive attributes coupled with top notch at-rim finishing game reminds of Greg Oden.<br />
<br />
2) Jusuf Nurkic<br />
--Center with an excellent scoring rate, but does not pass the ball.<br />
--Good two point percentages, and currently beasting on the offensive glass, although carries a fairly average offensive rebounding aggregate. OK foul shooter as far as bigs are concerned, and has an excellent foul drawing framework.<br />
--Good frame for an NBA center. Good rebounder with decent enough defensive rebound rates. Absolute defensive hack who will struggle to last even half of an NBA game with sky high foul rates, but is a very active defensive playmaker, with very good stealing numbers for frame but also good shotblocking rates as well. A center with a legitimate scoring mentality, aggressive offensive rebounding rates, some touch and an active defensive disposition, and ultimately only his hack mentality is really holding him back.<br />
<br />
3) Marcus Smart<br />
--Dynamic shooting guard who possesses the top-notch usage rate, ability to utilize the entire floor, and isolation skills (only 35.75% of his shots are assisted) of a lead guard in the NBA.<br />
--Decent finisher, but real advantage lies in his excellent foul-drawing ability. Takes too many mid-range and three point jumpers off the dribble for his percentages (35% 2's, 29% 3's), but good free throw percentage gives hope. His slashing ability is the better option in the NBA. Has passing ability for a SG, but has to beware of turnovers.<br />
--Defensive monster. Insane stealer but also an excellent shotblocker for his size. Top notch rebounder. Decent frame. Two-way star potential. Has the potential to be a Dwyane Wade type in the NBA.<br />
<br />
4) Jordan Adams<br />
--Possible mutual exclusion candidate with his ability to take threes and draw fouls, effectively using the entire floor.<br />
--Very compact, mature scorer. Spot-up shooting guard, does an excellent job of scoring without the ball in his hands. Good finisher and foul drawer at the rim off passes, and appears far better at finishing when set up. Excellent mid-range shooter (45%, 38%) further confirmed by free throw shooting (82%, 84%). However, of note is that his at-rim finishing and mid-range shooting have really regressed this season. Improving spot up three point shooter, but might be fairly average in this aggregate, although mid-range and free throw shooting give hope. Not much of a passer, but does an excellent job of limiting turnovers, not surprising given his style of play.<br />
--Decent defender. Makes a ton of defensive plays with steals. Good frame for a NBA SG. Fair rebounder who has improved significantly here from freshman year. Might be a good tertiary scorer over time in the NBA, but lacks the passing and the ability to create offense for himself to take it up another level, but brings defensive attributes including stealing to the table, so somewhat underrated.<br />
<br />
5) Jabari Parker<br />
--Scoring machine of a power forward. Commands a super high usage rate and aggressively puts himself in spot-up scoring positions, mostly from the perimeter. Puts the blinders on and does not pass the ball with spot-up style.<br />
--Bread and butter is top notch mid-range shooting (53.7%). Also really cashes in on spot-up threes (46.2%), but some sample size concerns and free throw shooting is just OK, but shooting should still be very good in the aggregate, given overall usage. Just an OK finisher at best for size off a mix of set ups and improvisation, but doesn't offensive rebound or draw fouls well given frequency of attempts.<br />
--Just an OK frame as far as a NBA power forward is concerned, and might be a little undersized. Slightly subpar defender. Decent defensive rebounder. Good defensive playmaker off a combination of steals and blocks. Spot-up mid-range scoring machine with some extra range is his billing, and has some defensive attributes, but nothing all that special there. His upside might be limited by his inability to play at the rim well, create or pass, and the overall defense is somewhat in question. A bit like Derrick Williams or Michael Beasley, possibly with better shooting, at this stage.<br />
<br />
6) Delon Wright<br />
--Oversized PG with just OK usage but very good isolation ability (29.98% shots assisted), and at his level, has found a balance of good scoring and PG-like passing within the usage. Good ballhandler for levels of isolation as well.<br />
--Takes most of his shots as drives off the dribble, where he is an elite finisher at his level, and decent at drawing fouls given frequency. Has jumper potential as well: good free throw shooter on a sizable number of attempts, and has a good pull-up jumper albeit in few attempts. Very questionable long range shot, between efficiency and sample size, and takes most of those off the dribble.<br />
--Plays elite, smothering defense which might well be the very best in the NCAA right now. Elite build for a NBA PG, but sorely lacking strength. Excellent defensive playmaker who can get steals and even block shots, and controls fouls very well considering. Excellent rebounder for position, especially with elite value on defensive glass for position. Just all-around excellent in defensive fundamentals, defensive athleticism, and rebounding, with the height: has virtually no flaws in this area. Has major potential, especially on defense, where he is broad-based excellent, but also on offense, where he can get into triple threat positions mid-range in: pull-up, slash, or pass while handling the ball well. Major NBA sleeper potential, especially as Dorell Wright's younger brother.<br />
<br />
7) Andrew Wiggins<br />
--Scoring-minded small forward who takes half of his shots as preferred set-up shots at the rim. Just a decent finisher and just a decent ability to draw fouls given attempts. Good ballhandler given creation levels, but not a passer.<br />
--Good pull-up jumper. Just an average spot-up three point shooter at this stage, and poor free throw percentages and fewer attempts might mean his long range shot is just OK at best.<br />
--Very good build for a NBA small forward. Good defender. Good rebounder. Decent defensive playmaker. Never fouls. Overall, Wiggins has no severe limitations, although the lack of passing and possible range efficacy are definite upside concerns, but he could be a jack of all trades, master of none type, as his defense looks the strongest above anything.<br />
<br />
8) Noah Vonleh<br />
--Undersized center who is an absolutely scoring machine off isolation and improvisation (only 43.8% of his shots are assisted). Plays primarily at the rim and is an awful finisher for his size, but excellent offensive rebounder for size and is has a stratospheric foul drawing rate. Turnover prone. Doesn't pass. A bundle of activity at the rim with great athletic traits magnified by usage, but unrefined with awful finishing and turnovers.<br />
--Rarely takes jumpers or displays any sort of range, but there is hope given a large sample size of OK free throw percentages, and is shooting 50% on mid-range J's on minimal attempts.<br />
--Just an awful body frame that is two positions down from what is height would suggest. Simply not a forward between the lack of handles and range. Still, an absolute defensive machismo which would have ranked first last year at his current rate. Elite defensive rebounder even with lack of size that would compete with the top of the top of NCAA players. Good defensive playmaker, but better stealer than he is shotblocker. Could stand to control fouls. Overall, an undersized center who is unrefined offensively inside and lacks range currently outside but an incredible hustle player and draws a ton of fouls, and defends extremely hard and clears the defensive boards. A bit Charles Barkley-esque in getup.<br />
<br />
9) RJ Hunter<br />
--High usage scorer of a shooting guard who accrues his points in spot-up fashion. Completely limits turnovers with spot-up style, but not a passer whatsoever.<br />
--Takes over half of his shots as threes, with good but not elite percentages (38%), but is better with set-up shots, and corroborated by good free throw numbers. Rarely penetrates, but has good finishing numbers off inclined set-ups in rare attempts. Decent foul drawer given rare at-rim frequency. Infrequent mid-range game, but again, decent percentages off a mixture of spot-ups and isos here.<br />
--Very good build for a NBA SG. Excellent defensive playmaker who is an absolute ball-thief, but also a top notch shotblocker by size. Pretty good defensive rebounder, but just a decent overall rebounder. His ability to accrue defensive stats on all areas belies what is just OK defense, so more sizzle than steak. But has all the ingredients to be a major defensive player in the NBA, and combined with his three point shooting, he might be a reasonable facsimile of Danny Green.<br />
<br />
10) Damien Inglis<br />
--Small forward with poor scoring ability, and an absolute turnover waiting to happen. Has very good passing ability by position, though, but will force passes. Doesn't contest for offensive boards.<br />
--Lacks a robust offensive style, but extremely efficient, shooting two-pointers very well by position, and also having some level of shooting ability (40% from three in a fair number of attempts, plus 73.1% foul shooting).<br />
--Good build for a NBA SF. Top notch rebounder for size and by position, with excellent ability to clear the defensive boards. Just an OK defensive playmaker. In due time, can be a point forward of sorts with an ability to rebound and score from both inside and out, so there is potential, and his issues are correctable.<br />
<br />
11) Frank Kaminsky<br />
--Spot-up inclined center with decent scoring chops. With spot-up style, does an excellent job of limiting turnovers, but also a very good passer for size. As usage rate has increased, has reduced number of spot-up attempts. with a steadily increasing usage rate.<br />
--Very good finisher for size off inclined set-ups and OK offensive rebounding, but struggles to draw fouls given frequency. Before this season, had a very poor track record of bricking his many three point spot-ups, but to corroborate it, has also had poor mid-range percentages and just a OK free throw percentage aggregate. Has cut down his number of threes and hit mid-range-inclined spot-ups with decent frequency this season, with a decent enough spot-up three, but the aggregate percentages are still underwater here. Might be very poor as a general shooter.<br />
--Excellent size for a NBA center, Good defender. Good defensive playmaker who is decent at blocking shots, but also nimble enough to rake in steals for size. But just an awful rebounder for size, putting up very poor defensive rebound rates (with near bottom even for NCAA levels in his first two seasons). Might have to learn to control fouls. Overall, is physically overmatched with lack of foul drawing and rebounding, but is athletic enough to defend and make plays while passing the ball well for size. The backbreaker might be the lack of shooting ability, which combined with his physical issues make him a non-starter.<br />
<br />
12) Gary Harris<br />
--Shooting guard with a good spot-up scoring game. Limits turnovers given style of game, and has improved his passing to OK levels.<br />
--Poor finisher at the rim off preferred passes, but on top of that doesn't draw fouls given at-rim frequency. Has made a switch to more threes compared to last year, but shooting on that front has regressed. Still overall, a robust shooter (38.9% 2's, 37.7% 3's, 78.7% FTs) but these numbers suggest more good than great. Easily more of a scorer than a shooter.<br />
--Good build for a NBA SG. Fairly good defender with good ability to get steals just decent defensive playmaking ability. Awful rebounding ability. Might be relegated to being a jumpshooting scorer in the NBA with defensive chops, but the inability to rebound, pass that well or finish at the rim hinders his potential significantly.<br />
<br />
13) Nik Stauskas<br />
--Inclined spot-up, long range shooter who is an excellent at it, and can even hit them off the dribble, corroborated by very good free throw shooting. Really improved his scoring chops in his second year.<br />
--Has more dimensions than just a long range specialist. Does a good job of drawing fouls given frequency of jumpers and considering that he rarely penetrates, with insane foul drawing rates in his sophomore year. Does finish well in rare at-rim ventures. Improved pull-up jumper. Also, can almost play point at a pinch, because he really limits turnovers. Good passer, but not a full-out playmaker.<br />
--Atrocious defender. Absolutely nonexistent defensive playmaker. Pathetic rebounder. OK body for position. Absolutely needs to be hidden on this end. Completely lacks the athleticism on the defensive end, but has really maximized his skills on offense, with foul drawing, pull-ups, good passing and ballhandling to complement a very good long range jumper. Reeks a bit of Kyle Korver on offense, and has to make sure that covers for his lack of defense.<br />
<br />
14) Nenad Miljenovic<br />
--Tall point guard with extremely awful scoring rates--might really struggle to score in the NBA. Really, really looks to pass most of the time, and limits turnovers fairly well considering frequency of passing.<br />
--Awful inside and outside (44.0% 2's, 17.8% 3's), but as a really good basic skeleton--good free throw percentages and draws a ton of fouls, even within small usage. Contests o-boards decently with size.<br />
--Top notch build for a NBA PG, but severely underweight. Good defensive rebounder and decent overall rebounder for size. Practically underwater in defensive playmaking. Has pure PG smarts, great size and underrated athletic traits (rebounding, drawing fouls), and some sprinkles of shooting potential, but offensive passivity and zero ability to manufacture points in non-foul settings is a major turnoff, and his defensive playmaking is a red flag.<br />
<br />
15) Ron Baker<br />
--Low-usage shooting guard with middling scoring ability. Very unselfish and has combo-guard levels of passing ability, while limiting turnovers. Has expanded his role into a mix of set-ups and isolations.<br />
--In two seasons, about two-thirds of his attempts on average have come from long distance, but just a decent three point shooter, although he takes many of them off the dribble particularly this season. Has very good free throw percentages so taking more spot-ups can normalize his long range shooting. Rarely plays at-rim, but awful finisher, albeit has improved somewhat finishing off the dribble, and surprisingly excellent at drawing fouls given infrequency. No mid-range game, but percentages have been very good off pull-ups in small samples.<br />
--Decent defender, but slightly subpar build from a NBA SG. Just an OK defensive playmaker, but surprisingly able as a shotblocker. Poor rebounder who is below average at corralling defensive caroms. Competes on this end, but doesn't really have the tools. Overall, a "theoretical" shooter with intrinsic offensive smarts, such as combo guard passing and an ability to draw fouls, and a competitive defender but lacks physical tools on both ends, which hinders the upside.<br />
<br />
16) Kyle Anderson<br />
--Best asset offensively is his excellent passing for his position, and really passes the rock like a point guard even under a decent usage rate. Just an OK scorer at best.<br />
--Poor finisher especially for size, and better off set-ups on this end. Reduced at-rim attempts this season but improved foul drawing. Significantly improved mid-range pull up from last year, but it might be just decent in the aggregate so far, corroborated by decent free throw percentage gives hope. Far improved three point shooting, but limited sample, although there is some hope of improving it given average mid-range aggregate.<br />
--Top notch defender. Piles up many steals and blocks. Insane rebounder at the small forward position, especially at the defensive glass. Very good frame for position. Improving offense, even with finishing and long range concerns, might project him to be like an Evan Turner type, relying on defense and PG skills above other qualities.<br />
<br />
17) Tyler Ennis<br />
--Low usage caretaker PG. Exquisite court vision and excellent ballhandling ability who really, really limits turnovers despite a heavily isolation-based game.<br />
--Decent scorer. Prefers to get to the basket off the dribble and draws fouls somewhat, but awful finisher. Awful pull-up jumper. Good three point shooter, even off the dribble, and might be a decent shooter given decent free throw percentages, but only that. Really should just be a three point shooter at this stage.<br />
--Very good defender. Very good build for a NBA PG. Elite defensive playmaker who bags an absolute ton of steals. Decent rebounder for size. Never fouls. A surprisingly refined freshman prospect, with very good potential on defense but also a ton of discipline with passing and ballhandling on offense, although on offense might have to rely more on a decent three point shot, given that he lacks dynamics to run the offense for a long period and a reliable game inside the three point line. A bit of a Steve Blake/Mike Conley cross potentially on offense and defense.<br />
<br />
18) James Young<br />
--Incredibly inclined spot-up three point shooting SF, but might need to re-think this idea given early returns (30.8% 3's, corroborated by 66.7% from free throws). Decent scorer. Unselfish.<br />
--Average finisher off the dribble at best for size, but draws fouls fairly well. Little mid-range game.<br />
--Decent build for position. Very poor defender. Awful defensive playmaker. Very poor rebounder for size. Needs a ton of work on both ends of the court, as he has no niche on offense, besides being unselfish, and on defense he has zero instincts so far.<br />
<br />
19) Clint Capela<br />
--Decent scoring power forward who has ramped up aggressiveness this year. Not much of a passer, but not turnover prone.<br />
--Top notch offensive rebounder. Good two point percentages, but very questionable offensive framework, not drawing fouls well but also showing extremely poor foul shooting. Strictly a catch and finish player on offense, likely.<br />
--Good frame for an NBA PF, but really needs to put on weight. Very good shotblocker with side ability to rack up steals for size. Top notch rebounder, with good defensive rebounder. Surprisingly fairly decent at limiting fouls, given defensive playmaking. Has all the rebounding, frame, defensive playmaking, and foul limiting ingredients to make a mark defensively, but offensively likely limited to just finishing at the rim.<br />
<br />
20) Julius Randle<br />
--Very high usage scoring machine of a power forward with incredible isolation ability (only 32.18% of shots assisted). Preferred perch is at-rim where he is a very good finisher mostly off improvisation and elite offensive rebounding. Moreover, absolutely insane knack for drawing fouls given usage. An absolute force to be reckoned with in the paint. Very turnover prone, and that is the best way to stop him around the basket.<br />
--Also takes over a third of his shots from mid-range but subpar (33.3%), although could round out to be OK given decent free throw percentages (73.3%).<br />
--Elite, top notch defender. Absolute rebounding machine extends to elite defensive rebounding ability. Good frame for a NBA PF. Leverages fouls extremely well. Only quibble is absolutely pathetic defensive playmaking ability, and nonexistent shotblocker. Has three elite attributes--all-around at-rim game, rebounding, and defense--which may make him a very souped up, athletic version of Zach Randolph, but might lack super upside given severe lack of defensive playmaking. His other weaknesses--mid-range game and turnovers are attributes that can improve with time.<br />
<br />
21) KJ McDaniels<br />
--Decent scoring forward who has a decidedly isolation style of game (only 47.8% of his shots are assisted, and 37.78% the year prior) and very good ballhandling ability, but puts the blinders on and won't pass the ball.<br />
--Very good finisher with a knack for offensive rebounding and tipping in shots very accurately, but not the best at drawing fouls given frequency of at-rim attempts. Absolutely horrid pull-up mid-range game (19%, 20%) but questionable three point accuracy (30, 34%), and both jumper forms are corroborated by subpar free throw shooting. Subpar use of the offensive floor.<br />
--Good defender. Insane defensive playmaker with a very high rate for shotblocking for size, but also a few steals. OK rebounder at best for size. A tweener between both forward positions, and his overall ball skills suggest that he operates best as a face-up power forward, in which case he has an awful frame for his size. Even as a face-up PF, he might lack the jumpshooting ability to fulfill that role. A major athlete however who can finish and defend, and hustles in terms of defensive playmaking and offensive rebounding, which can get him a major role as a Alonzo Gee type, but might find it better to shrink his game to his strengths and be more fulfilling as a Jerome Williams type.<br />
<br />
22) Spencer Dinwiddie<br />
--Excellent offensive shooting guard with good isolation skills (34.83% shots assisted) who possesses an incredible ability to utilize the entire floor. Subpar in finishing at the rim off drives, but insane foul drawing ability and capitalizes with excellent free throw shooting. Has developed a better pull-up jumper this season. --Decent three point shooter, but clearly more effective with spot-up threes which he took way more of last year. Has a combination of a good scoring and shooting for the NBA, but the happy medium is probably creating while inside the three point line and spotting up outside of it. Excellent ballhandler, but not really a creator for teammates despite the usage.<br />
--Average defender at best. Underwhelming at making defensive plays. Pathetic rebounder for his size. Excellent frame for his position, looks the part of the NBA SG. Seems to play at his own speed and between the inability to finish and the defense, might lack the athleticism to be fully effective in the NBA, but he can work around that. Reminds somewhat of Jamal Crawford.<br />
<br />
23) Mario Hezonja<br />
--Just an OK scoring shooting guard. Decent passer who limits turnovers.<br />
--Inclined three point shooter with a potentially lethal shot (aggregate around 38%, with 87.5% free throw percentage). Also a decent two-point shooter (52.2%). Doesn't really draw fouls well or contest for offensive boards.<br />
--Very good build for a NBA SG. Good rebounder with a very good defensive rebound rate by position. Awful defensive playmaker. Efficient inside-outside offensive player who limits mistakes and rebounds well to be a multifaceted cog, but might lack a certain athleticism (foul drawing, defensive playmaking) to take it up a notch.<br />
<br />
24) Dante Exum<br />
--Shooting guard who showcased excellent scoring chops at both the U-17 and U-19 World Championships. Good ballhandler even for shooting guard standards, but completely overrated as a point guard--just an average passer, at best, even for those standards.<br />
--Excellent ability to draw fouls with very good two-point percentages for a shooting guard (54.3%). An absolute non-shooter though, but that does not stop him from taking threes, which he hits as an abysmal rate (25%), corroborated by very poor foul shooting (63.4%).<br />
--Excellent build, even for a NBA SG, even if slight of frame. Very good rebounder for size. Just a decent defensive playmaker, but not much of a shotblocker. Controls fouls quite well. Overall, an good ballhandling scorer with a major ability to draw fouls, a good build and good rebounding ability, but does not have a point guard mentality at all and really struggles to shoot from anywhere.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
25) Jarnell Stokes</div>
--Decent scoring center who loves to score off his own devices, with insane offensive rebounding rates, but is turnover prone in doing so. Just a decent finisher for his size. Subpar use of the entire offensive floor but does draw fouls.<br />
--Might lack range (26, 34% mid-range J's) but takes about a third of his shots as off-the-dribble jumpers, which is further corroborated by very poor free throw shooting. Center-like handles.<br />
--Excellent defender. Excellent rebounder. Very good defensive playmaker who accrues a combination of steals and blocks. Might be a tweener, with a subpar frame if he is a NBA center. Appears to be very athletic in doing glue-guy type attributes without the ball in his hands, but might lack a consistent means of scoring, although he can rely on his work on the defensive end.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
26) Sam Dekker</div>
--Spot-up scorer who is an inclined three point shooter, but makes very good use of the entire floor, in the sense he doesn't take mid-range jumpers. Good base for jumpshooting (38% 2's, 38% 3's) but a subpar free throw shooter, so a bit of a grain of salt.<br />
--For an alleged shooter, frequently gets to the rim and is an excellent finisher (71%) off passes. Limits turnovers, not surprising given his spot up style of game.<br />
--Very good defender with a good frame for the NBA. Nondescript defensive playmaker. Good rebounder for his size. Reminds of a young Mike Miller.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
27) Kristaps Porzingis</div>
--Decent scoring center, but virtually never passes the ball. Poor offensive framework.<br />
--Poor 2-point shooter for a big (50%) who doesn't draw fouls, but decent offensive rebounder. Takes a few three pointers with OK percentages for size, but awful foul shooter might make it unsustainable.<br />
--Good build for a NBA center, but really needs to add weight. Top notch defensive playmaker with an elite ability to accrue steals by position, but also a good shotblocker. Needs to control fouls, wouldn't last half of an NBA game. Awful rebounder with an absolutely pathetic defensive rebound rate. Lack of weight, rebounding and major foul proneness undercut deflection potential, and all aspects of his offense are weak. Only a deflecting big, but young enough to improve from here.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
28) P.J. Hairston</div>
--Aggressively scoring spot up long range shooter who might be more streaky than good (27% 3's last year compared to 40% this year), but does hit free throws well. Over three-fifths of his shots come from distance, but draws fouls well given the high frequency of jumpers.<br />
--No mid-range game. Mediocre finisher at the rim. Not a passer, but minimizes turnovers, not surprising given his shooter rep.<br />
--Decent defender with decent rebounding ability, but not much of a defensive playmaker. Good frame for a shooting guard. Has a basic framework of a 3's/D rep, but might lack elite attributes in both of them to really find a footing in that area.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
29) Jake Layman</div>
--Low-usage spot-up three point shooter who plays a complete spot-up game. Limits turnovers far better in this style, but has reduced passing to just OK levels.<br />
--With shooting, at this point really looks to have an identity crisis, between the aggregate spot-up three (33%) and free throw (70%) percentages, although his three point shot has really improved. Does eschew mid-range jumpers for at-rim shots. Just a decent finisher off a mixture of off dribble and setup shots, but really struggles to draw fouls. Might lack a real niche in general offense.<br />
--Decent defender. Good rebounder for his size. Excellent frame, looks and plays the part of the NBA SF. Makes a few defensive plays, with surprisingly decent shotblocking numbers. Just appears to lack a go-to aspect on either end of the court, and his defense might be his best attribute at this stage.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
30) Khem Birch</div>
--Low usage, undersized center with a subpar scoring rate who prefers a spot-up inclined style. Absolute zero passing ability and has the general ball skills of a center.<br />
--Offense regressed this season. Both mid-ranger and at-rim finishing plummeted this season. Might have little to no jumper to speak of, with poor free throw percentages and an awful (30%) spot-up inclined aggregate. Just a decent finisher in the aggregate, but poor for his size this year, and seems to finish better off improvisation, via top notch offensive rebounding ability. Does draw fouls fairly well given frequency.<br />
--Money is made with defense. Top ten defender in college, but subpar build for an NBA center who needs to add weight. Absolute monster defensive playmaker, near the top ten in NCAAs in blocking shots. Very good rebounder who is also a pretty good defensive rebounder, but contests offensive boards better. Limits fouls well given defensive playmaking. Has all the principles of defense down--the actual defense, shotblocking, and the ability to limit fouls, but undersized build and lack of general inside-outside offense and ball skills hurt significantly. A one-way player, but that one-way is top notch.<br />

This is a well constructed team with key youth (Rubio, Ibaka) and many veterans (Gasol brothers, Calderon, Navarro) with a lot of playmaking and shooting on the side. Look for next generation Nikola Mirotic, who has an asterisk because he might play for either Montengro or Spain. There are a few incubator prospects with Abrines and and Diez who may get some run in some of the blowouts.<br />

France has always fielded deep teams in the past, and this is no exception, with a bunch of NBA talent and several clear leaders (Parker, Batum, Noah). There is a lot of depth and ballhandling here. Mix of young players and veteran leaders. They should go far. Rodrigue Beaubois, Johan Petro, and Rudy Gobert are some key omissions, as well as future NBA prospects like Leo Westermann, Boris Dallo, Mam Jaiteh, and possibly Damien Inglis.<br />

4) BRAZIL<br />
<br />
Marcelo Huertas (6'3" 205 PG--30)<br />
Scott Machado (6'1" 205 PG--23)<br />
Raul Neto (6'1" PG--21)<br />
Leandro Barbosa (6'3" 194 SG--31)<br />
Alex Garcia (6'4" 225 SG--33)<br />
Marcus Vinicius (6'10" 225 SF--29)<br />
Nene (6'11" 250 PF/C--31)<br />
Anderson Varejao (6'11" 267 PF--31)<br />
Vitor Faverani (6'11" 260 PF/C--25)<br />
Tiago Splitter (6'11" 245 C--29)<br />
Lucas Noguiera (7'0" 220 C--21)<br />
Fab Melo (7'0" 255 C--23)<br />
<br />
Brazil is knee-deep in bigs, both power forwards and centers, and have three veterans (Varejao, Nene, Splitter) who are the clear leaders of the team and several incubating prospects (Machado, Neto, and especially Noguiera). Their guards are noticeably weaker but Huertas, Barbosa and Garcia have been around and Barbosa, even with several lost steps, can bring needed scoring punch. This is a deep team that should definitely be a contender. A key omission is Cristiano Felicio, a 21 year old PF prospect.<br />
<br />

<br />
5) CANADA<br />
<br />
Tyler Ennis (6'2" 180 PG--19)<br />
Cory Joseph (6'3" 185 PG--22)<br />
Olivier Hanlan (6'4" 188 PG/SG--20)<br />
Nik Stauskas (6'6" 205 SG--20)<br />
Andrew Wiggins (6'8" 197 SF--18)<br />
Tristan Thompson (6'9" 238 PF--22)<br />
Anthony Bennett (6'8" 259 PF--20)<br />
Andrew Nicholson (6'9" 250 PF--24)<br />
Dwight Powell (6'10" 212 PF--22)<br />
Kelly Olynyk (7'0" 238 C--22)<br />
Robert Sacre (7'0" 260 C--24)<br />
Samuel Dalembert (6'11" 250 C--32)<br />
<br />
This is a deep team with a lot of talented youth--most of their players are in their late teens to early 20s, and the centerpiece is Andrew Wiggins. But don't underestimate Tristan Thompson, Tyler Ennis, and Kelly Olynyk. Dalembert brings the sorely needed veteran leadership, although perhaps Dwight Powell will get replaced by a proven leading guard like Andy Rautins. The assumption is that Steve Nash can't play, and Joel Anthony is omitted due to his rapidly decaying game. This team might just be too green as of yet.<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
6) AUSTRALIA<br />
<br />
Dante Exum (6'6" 188 PG/SG--18)<br />
Patty Mills (6'0" PG--25)<br />
Matthew Dellavedova (6'3" PG--22)<br />
Ryan Broekhoff (6'7" SG/SF--22)<br />
Brad Newley (6'7" SG/SF--28)<br />
Joe Ingles (6'8" SF--25)<br />
Ben Simmons (6'8" SF--17)<br />
David Andersen (6'11" PF/C--33)<br />
Nathan Jawai (6'10" PF--27)<br />
Andrew Bogut (7'0" C--29)<br />
Aron Baynes (6'10" C--27)<br />
Luke Nevill (7'2" C--27)<br />
<br />
If only they had Kyrie. Just kidding. Team Aussie has rapidly improved from even about a decade ago when they were considered laughingstocks. With the addition of lead guard Exum to combine with Bogut, that's lethal, and Patty Mills and Aron Baynes are already viable NBA players under the San Antonio system, along with seasoned NBA veteran David Andersen and another NBA type in Dellavdeova. Newley and Ingles, along with Jawai were also considered NBA prospects. This team from top to bottom is competent, but we'll see if they can be a major sleeper.<br />
<br />

<br />
7) RUSSIA<br />
<br />
Alexey Shved (6'6" 187 PG/SG--25)<br />
Anton Ponkrashov (6'7" PG/SG--27)<br />
Sergey Karasev (6'7" 196 SG--20)<br />
Dmitry Kulagin (6'6" 196 SG--21)<br />
Vitaly Fridzon (6'5" SG--27)<br />
Andrei Kirilenko (6'9" 235 SF/PF--32)<br />
Sergei Monia (6'8" 218 SF--30)<br />
Yaroslav Korolev (6'10" 245 PF--26)<br />
Viktor Khryapa (6'9" 235 PF--31)<br />
Timofey Mozgov (7'1" 250 C--27)<br />
Sasha Kaun (6'11" 256 C--28)<br />
Artem Klimenko (7'1" 228 C--20)<br />
<br />
Russia is a team that is ran by a bunch of length--Kirilenko, an NBA mainstay, is the clear leader in this, but NBA busts like Yaroslava Korolev, Viktor Khryapa and Sergei Monia all have ample length and defensive reputations as well. Timofey Mozgov, Kirilenko and Shved are the clear leaders of this team. The team is ran by two tall PGs in Shved and Ponkrashov, and there's enough talent to be a major sleeper here.<br />
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
<br />
8) LITHUANIA<br />
<br />
Mantas Kalnietis (6'5" 205 PG--27)<br />
Tomas Dimsa (6'4" 185 SG--20)<br />
Reinaldas Seibutis (6'6" SG--28)<br />
Martynas Pocius (6'5" SG--27)<br />
Linas Kleiza (6'8" 234 SF--29)<br />
Marius Grigonis (6'6" 195 SF--19)<br />
Donatas Motiejunas (7'0" 222 PF--23)<br />
Kristof Lavrinovic (6'11" PF--33)<br />
Jonas Valanciunas (7'0" 240 C--21)<br />
Darjus Lavrinovic (6'11" C--33)<br />
Robertas Javtokas (6'11" C--33)<br />
Martynas Andriuskevicius (7'2" 240--27)<br />
<br />
Without Jasikevicius and Songaila, both of whom are likely too old to compete here, there's a certain lack of leadership lost, especially since their very old players have zero NBA experience. Still, they have very viable young NBA players, like Motiejunas and Valanciunas, and older leadership and NBA viability in Kleiza, so this is a decent team. Kalnietis is an underrated PG who has never made it to the NBA, and they have special incubator players coming up in Dimsa and Grigonis. They have some draft washouts like Seibutis and Andriuskevicius, as well. It's a bit lacking in point guards, but there's enough talent here.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
9) GREECE<br />
<br />
Vassilis Spanoulis (6'4" PG--31)<br />
Dimitirs Diamantidis* (6'5" 220 PG/SG--33)<br />
Nick Calathes (6'6" 213 PG/SG--24)<br />
Nikolaos Zisis (6'6" 215 SG--30)<br />
Giannis Antetokoumpo (6'10" 205 SF--19)<br />
Kostas Papanikalaou (6'9" SF--23)<br />
Thanassis Antetokoumpo (6'7" 200 SF--20)<br />
Antonis Fotsis (6'10" PF--32)<br />
Linos Chrysikopoulos (6'10" 218 PF--21)<br />
Giorgos Printezis (6'9" PF--28)<br />
Kosta Koufos (7'0" 265 C--24)<br />
Ioannis Bourousis (7'0" C--29)<br />
<br />
Greece actually has major sleeper potential. In the past, they had major players who had NBA talent (Diamantidis, Theodoros Papaloukas, Spanoulis) who never came over stateside, and had major success. Now, Paps and Diamantidis have retired, although with the resurgence of Greek talent I might assume that Diamantidis could come back, since he's still an active player but just has supposedly retired from the national team. Spanoulis and Fotsis are the heart and soul of the team, but Calathes, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Koufos bring in the young certifiable NBA talent across all positions. They also have a slew of NBA former draft prospects like Zisis, Chriskopoulis, Papanikalaou, Printezis, and Bourousis, as well as the older Antetokounmpo. This team could make noise with clear leaders and fairly good balance, both positionally and young and old.<br />

10) TURKEY<br />
<br />
Dogus Balbay (6'1" 180 PG--24)<br />
Ender Arslan (6'3" PG--30)<br />
Kenan Sipahi (6'4" 180 PG--18)<br />
Sinan Guler (6'4" SG--29)<br />
Emir Preldzic (6'9" 220 SF--26)<br />
Serhat Citin (6'6" SF--27)<br />
Hedo Turkoglu (6'10" 220 SF--34)<br />
Ersan Ilyasova (6'10" 235 PF--26)<br />
Kerem Gonlum (6'10" PF--35)<br />
Omer Asik (7'0" 255 C--27)<br />
Enes Kanter (6'11" 248 C--21)<br />
Semih Erden (7'0" 240 C--27)<br />
<br />
Turkey is a very big man loaded team, with four 6'10" and above players (Turkoglu, Ilyasova, Kanter and Asik) leading the ropes. Also, really watch out for young Turkish phenom Kenan Sipahi, who can give Turkey a new generation of ballhandler. Other than that, there's really not much to be impressed, but former Texas PG Dogs Balbay is good at pressuring the ball on defense, and Emir Preldzic was a draft prospect in prior years.<br />
<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
11) GERMANY<br />
<br />
Dennis Schroeder (6'1" 168 PG--20)<br />
Per Gunther (6'0" PG--25)<br />
Paul Zippser (6'6" 195 SG--19)<br />
Lucca Staiger (6'5" SG--25)<br />
Robin Benzing (6'10" 210 SF--24)<br />
Elias Harris (6'8" 239 SF--24)<br />
Dirk Nowitzki (7'0" 245 PF--35)<br />
Tim Ohlbrecht (6'11" 255 PF/C--25)<br />
Jan Jagla (7'0" 231 PF--32)<br />
Chris Kaman (7'0" 265 C--31)<br />
Tibor Pleiss (7'1" 269 C--24)<br />
Philipp Neumann (6'11" 240 C--21)<br />
<br />
Germany has a ton of big men, including those who can shoot, but has been awful at producing any sort of guards, but especially wings. Nowitzki is the clear leader, with Kaman, Ohlbrecht and Schroeder on the sides, the latter two adding the young blood, and a few NBA draft washouts like Benzing, Harris, and Pleiss. This is an imbalanced team that will only go as far as Nowitzki takes them.<br />
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
12) SERBIA<br />
<br />
Milos Teodosic (6'5" PG--26)<br />
Nemanja Nedovic (6'3" 192 PG/SG--22)<br />
Vasilje Micic (6'5" 203 PG--20)<br />
Milenko Tepic (6'8" SG/SF--26)<br />
Bojan Bogdanovic (6'6" 205 SG--21)<br />
Nemanja Bjelica (6'10" SF/PF--25)<br />
Milan Macvan (6'9" PF--23)<br />
Zoran Erceg (6'11" PF--28)<br />
Nenad Krstic (7'0" 267 C--30)<br />
Miroslav Raduljica (7'0" C--25)<br />
Nikola Milutinov (6'11" 220 C--19)<br />
Dejan Musli (7'0" C--22)<br />
<br />
Serbia has a very interesting team completely laden with prior NBA prospects who for whatever reason has not found success in the NBA but found success in the Euroleague, but it also has many young next generation prospects coming up like Micic, Bogdanovic, and Milutinov. There might be a lack of wing play here but there are a ton of bigs here. Teodosic, Nedovic, and Krstic are the likely leaders here, and Raduljica has done well with the Bucks. It's hard to make noise with no current NBA players playing heavy minutes, but we'll see. Too bad they can't combine with Montenegro and add Nikola Pekovic and Vucevic.<br />
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
13) ITALY<br />
<br />
Travis Diener (6'1" PG--31)<br />
Daniel Hackett (6'6" PG--25)<br />
Andrea Cinciarini (6'4" PG--27)<br />
Marco Belinelli (6'5" 195 SG--27)<br />
Pietro Aradori (6'4" SG--24)<br />
Alessandro Gentile (6'6" 200 SF--22)<br />
Danilo Gallinari (6'10" 225 SF/PF--25)<br />
Luigi Datome (6'8" 215 SF/PF--26)<br />
Stefano Mancinelli (6'8" PF--26)<br />
Nicolo Melli (6'9" PF--22)<br />
Andrea Bargnani (7'0" 250 C--28)<br />
Marco Cusin (6'11" C--26)<br />
<br />
Not exactly a deep team, as it's led by Gallinari, Bellinelli and Bargnani at each of the SG, SF and C positions, but there is a distinct lack of a playmaking PG and proper depth as well.<br />
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
<br />
Others:<br />
<br />
14) Montenegro has the combination of Nikola Pekovic and Nikola Vucevic, with a few NBA draft prospects like Bojan Dubljevic and Vladimir Dasic, but otherwise lack the talent, particularly in non-center positions.<br />
<br />
15) Croatia has several NBA prospects of interest: Dario Saric and Mario Hezonja, but otherwise their best players are NBA draft washouts like Roko Ukic and Ante Tomic.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314980572833490356.post-63218300355620318702013-10-08T18:25:00.000-07:002013-10-22T18:20:25.971-07:002013 DRAFT PLAYER CAPSULESAllen Crabbe<br />
--Inclined spot-up jumpshooting SG who limits turnovers. Just a decent use of the offensive floor. Just an OK passer for position.<br />
--Doesn't penetrate. Vastly improving mid-range game, but just appears to be decent based on body of work. On the other hand, three point shooting is heading in the opposite direction; has shown real ability to hit threes off the dribble in his first two years (39%, 41%) but has struggled with more spot-up attempts this season, but should still be a good shooter, especially corroborated with very good free throw percentages. Good shooter who likely needs to find consistency with all forms of his jumper.<br />
--Pretty good defender, but very subpar in defensive playmaking. Good rebounder for size. OK frame. Might lack athleticism between the lack of penetration and defensive playmaking, but could find a 3's/D niche if he could simplify his college scoring role into one that mostly involves three point shooting.<br />
<br />
Ben McLemore<br />
--Spot-up scorer with a great use of the offensive floor. Excellent finisher at the rim off spoon feeds, but given frequency of at rims not that impressive in drawing fouls. Excellent spot-up three point shooter, and corroborated by excellent free throw shooting, even though just decent mid-range game. OK passer who limits turnovers.<br />
--Very good defender. Good rebounder. Just a decent build. Just an OK defensive playmaker who can block shots but is really awful in racking up steals.<br />
--Overall, can finish and shoot from deep, but lacks the self-creation, passing and ability to draw fouls to take it up another level. More of a strong than athletic type, as rebounding and attacking are more strength and drawing fouls and making defensive plays are more athletic. Somewhat reminds of Jason Richardson in overall style of game.<br />
<br />
James Ennis<br />
--Decent scoring small forward with an excellent use of the offensive floor and a desire for isolations far more than the typical SF (only 45.59% of his shots are assisted). Decent passer for position, but turnover prone.<br />
--The isolation role does not agree with him, as he's a far better shooter off spot-ups (43% 2's, 37% 3's) then when he is taking them off the dribble (31% 2's, 33% 3's this season). Probably a decent shooter overall, but he does have a good foundation given good free throw shooting. Excellent finisher around the rim who is better off set ups but can also improvise a little, and draws fouls.<br />
--Decent defender. Very good defensive playmaker who pads steals and blocks, and good rebounder for size. Overall, has swiss-knife ability with few weaknesses, as he's a decent spot-up shooter, passer, and defender, and has good athleticism with the finishing, rebounding and defensive playmaking. He currently packs more athletic traits than skill-based traits, but for an athlete he has a wide array of skills with potential for growth. Can be a really good role player type if harnessed correctly.<br />
<br />
Jeff Withey<br />
--Elite defender who might have been the second best defensive player in college last season. Excellent rebounder. Elite defensive playmaker with an elite rate of shotbocking. Very good frame for a NBA center. Has drastically cut down his fouls. Really underweight though.<br />
--Middling scorer who relies majorly on set-up shots. Decent to good finisher with a major knack for drawing fouls. Appears to have a good spot-up mid-ranger (shot 40% this past season, and 55% his second year) and has utilized that shot more with each passing season. Grain of salt given that while he is an improved free throw shooter, it is still subpar overall. Touches the ball to score, not a passer.<br />
--Should be able to rely on his defense majorly in the NBA, and what might be a good mid-range shot and some finishing.<br />
<br />
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope<br />
--Three-point inclined jumpshooting scorer who uses a mix of spot-ups and isolations. Not a passer, but really limits turnovers, not surprising given jumpshooting game.<br />
--Infrequently takes shots around the rim. Appears to be one of those shooters who shoots better off the dribble, as opposed to spotting up. Has shown ability to hit pull-ups (45% last year) and threes off the dribble (37% this year), but percentages suffer in spot up situations. In the aggregate, mid-range game appears to be good, whereas his long range game is average, and overall, just an OK free throw shooter, so his shooting is likely just average, at best. Has some ability to draw fouls for a jumpshooter.<br />
--Excellent defender and excellent build for position. Excellent defensive playmaker with a knack for steals, and also an excellent rebounder for his size. Defensively is where he could make his money, because offensively there's a ton of questions: he doesn't have the penetration or passing ability to be an alpha scorer, but lacks the spot-up game or really the touch to take in a true shooting role, so there isn't too much of a role for him there.<br />
<br />
Michael Carter-Williams<br />
--Oversized point guard with top notch defensive ability. Excellent defensive playmaker who is top notch at accruing steals but also gets a few blocks for size. Very good rebounder for size. Elite build for position, but underweight.<br />
--On offense, lacks usage for position due to scoring limitations, but has creator mentality with isolation game (only 27.4% of shots assisted). Handles the ball with the intention to pass it as the first, second and third option, but also very turnover prone and will force passes.<br />
--Subpar scorer in the NBA, but has a good use of the offensive floor. Subpar finisher, but has a knack for drawing fouls. Very poor pull-up game. Appears to have some potential as a spot-up three point shooter, but shot so poorly from three with many off the dribble this past season. Might be a decent long range shooter, but very poor free throw shooter for position as well as mid-range numbers raise concerns about shooting overall.<br />
--It's really questionable whether he can score inside the three point line in the NBA and how that will affect his passing ability, and if he can find a scoring niche overall. However, he has real potential to hang on with elite defensive attributes, and if he can unlock his passing or dedicate himself to spot-up threes that could help. Syracuse has had a horrible track record with first round picks this decade, so there's always a grain of salt from their products as well.<br />
<br />
Myck Kabongo<br />
--Combo guard with a creator mentality with isolation and a desire to attack the rim (only 26.17% of shots assisted), but who lacks usage for the NBA due to subpar scoring limitations. Can pass like a NBA PG but incredibly turnover prone doing so, making his role probably more like a combo guard. Subpar finisher off the dribble but has an insane knack for drawing fouls.<br />
--Shrunk the amount of jumpers he took this year, and has little range outside the paint. Has no mid-range pull-up (29%, 12%) and a very little long range game to speak of (30%, 29%) but he still takes most of those off the dribble. Slight hope given he is an OK free throw shooter for position, but that's the cap.<br />
--Poor defender. Subpar defensive playmaker who despite 6'3" is absolutely pathetic in registering blocks. Quite a poor rebounder. Every offensive and defensive skill he possesses is a weakness--heavily reliant on foul drawing on offense but has little range and can't finish, and is a very turnover prone-passer. Defense he's highly unrefined across the board. At this point he's more athlete and less basketball player.<br />
<br />
Ryan Kelly<br />
--Inclined spot-up jumpshooter with a good use of the offensive floor. Passes the ball extremely well for his size, and also limits turnovers.<br />
--Subpar scorer in the NBA with somewhat of a low usage. Good mid-range jumpshooter who is better with his feet set but can create a few shots from there (44% this season, 40% in his second year) and equally adept at spot up threes (42%, 41%), corroborated by good free throw shooting. Incredibly declining rate of at-rim shots to the point where he virtually didn't take any this past season, which might be due to his lingering injuries. However, has developed a real knack for drawing fouls even with the jumpers.<br />
--Decent defender with very good defensive playmaking ability, particularly in shotblocking. Very poor rebounder for size. Top notch build for an NBA PF. Has a lot of intriguing qualities--a really good shooter who can pass the ball and limit turnovers with some defense, but he might lack the athleticism between the at-rim and rebounding game to take it up another notch.<br />
<br />
Victor Oladipo<br />
--Decent scoring small forward with a desire for isolations far more than the typical SF (only 46.54% of shots assisted). Has developed OK passing ability at the small forward position, but very turnover prone with preferred isolation game.<br />
--Subpar use of the offensive floor. Preferred perch is at-rim scoring, where he is a good finisher mostly off improvisation--top-notch offensive rebounder for size. However, note rate of foul drawing as decreased every year even though his percentage of at-rim attempts has stayed relatively the same. Also, might possibly be living off a one year fluke of excellent shooting (45% 2's, 44% 3's), given past history (24, 25% 2's, 21%, 18% 3's) and minimum attempts (less than two-fifths of his shots were jumpers). Has improved his jumper, but just an OK free throw shooter, and very likely at best he's just an OK shooter.<br />
--Very good defender. Very good defensive playmaker with a knack for steals. Top-notch rebounder for size. Is really like Tony Allen--a defense-first athlete with an OK shot and a preferred at-rim game, but nothing really more than that.<br />

<b><u>International Players:</u></b><br />
<br />
Alessandro Gentile<br />
--Decent scoring small forward, but not a passer. Turnover prone, to the point that his ball skills barely made it to NBA small forward territory.<br />
--Just an OK free throw shooter, and very subpar long ball, so has an inaccurate overall jumper. Poor aggregate 2-point percentages (49.7%) which has gotten worse in recent years. OK offensive framework, but recent history has him taking far fewer threes and not moving the needle in his foul drawing.<br />
--Subpar build for a NBA SF, slightly lacking in height. Completely nondescript defensive playmaker offering very little in way of steals. Poor rebounder for position, with poor defensive rebound rates. Very foul prone. Overall, really has no strengths at all on either end, and weaknesses in ballhandling, passing, jumpshooting, overall shooting, rebounding, and foul proneness, so not NBA material.<br />
<br />
Bojan Bogdanovic<br />
--Shooting guard with good scoring chops. Good passer for position, but not a combo guard.<br />
--Inclined three point shooter with a rapidly improving shot, but might be subpar in the aggregate, corroborated by just OK free throw shooting. Decent offensive framework. Doesn't bother with offensive rebounds.<br />
--Excellent build for a NBA shooting guard. Just a decent defensive playmaker at best. Poor rebounder. Has decent role player attributes with the build, passing ability and desire to take threes, but questionable long range accuracy and nondescript defense hamper some of that allure; still, has no major weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Clint Capela<br />
--Decent scoring power forward who has ramped up aggressiveness this year. Not much of a passer, but not turnover prone.<br />
--Top notch offensive rebounder. Good two point percentages, but very questionable offensive framework, not drawing fouls well but also showing extremely poor foul shooting. Strictly a catch and finish player on offense, likely.<br />
--Good frame for an NBA PF, but really needs to put on weight. Very good shotblocker with side ability to rack up steals for size. Top notch rebounder, with good defensive rebounder. Surprisingly fairly decent at limiting fouls, given defensive playmaking. Has all the rebounding, frame, defensive playmaking, and foul limiting ingredients to make a mark defensively, but offensively likely limited to just finishing at the rim.<br />
<br />
Damien Inglis<br />
--Small forward with poor scoring ability, and an absolute turnover waiting to happen. Has very good passing ability by position, though, but will force passes. Doesn't contest for offensive boards.<br />
--Lacks a robust offensive style, but extremely efficient, shooting two-pointers very well by position, and also having some level of shooting ability (40% from three in a fair number of attempts, plus 73.1% foul shooting).<br />
--Good build for a NBA SF. Top notch rebounder for size and by position, with excellent ability to clear the defensive boards. Just an OK defensive playmaker. In due time, can be a point forward of sorts with an ability to rebound and score from both inside and out, so there is potential, and his issues are correctable.<br />
<br />
Dante Exum<br />
--Shooting guard who showcased excellent scoring chops at both the U-17 and U-19 World Championships. Good ballhandler even for shooting guard standards, but completely overrated as a point guard--just an average passer, at best, even for those standards.<br />
--Excellent ability to draw fouls with very good two-point percentages for a shooting guard (54.3%). An absolute non-shooter though, but that does not stop him from taking threes, which he hits as an abysmal rate (25%), corroborated by very poor foul shooting (63.4%).<br />
--Excellent build, even for a NBA SG, even if slight of frame. Very good rebounder for size. Just a decent defensive playmaker, but not much of a shotblocker. Controls fouls quite well. Overall, an good ballhandling scorer with a major ability to draw fouls, a good build and good rebounding ability, but does not have a point guard mentality at all and really struggles to shoot from anywhere.<br />
<br />
Dario Saric<br />
--Forward who might encounter positional issues in the NBA. Has grown more aggressive in personal offense, but very subpar scorer in the aggregate. Very good passer for size, but also forces passes and very turnover prone.<br />
--Very active on the o-boards as a SF. Very questionable shooter, with very subpar three point shot also limited by small-ish sample space, along with slightly subpar free throw percentages. Extremely poor aggregate two-point percentages for his size, and does not draw fouls well at all considering infrequency of three point attempts. Between turnovers, shoddy inside-outside shooting, and very low scoring, might really struggle offensively in the NBA.<br />
--Top notch build if he is to be a NBA small forward. Top notch rebounder also as an SF, with good defensive rebounding. Just an OK defensive playmaker off some combination of steals and blocks, at best, but incredibly foul prone even if slightly improved. Does not have the requisite floor spacing to be a NBA SF, but as a PF his rebounding is just decent and his two point shooting very poor, so a tweener. Mostly a good rebounding passer, but awful for personal offense and foul prone and nondescript on defense. Lacks a NBA niche.<br />
<br />
Jusuf Nurkic<br />
--Center with an excellent scoring rate, but does not pass the ball.<br />
--Good two point percentages, and currently beasting on the offensive glass, although carries a fairly average offensive rebounding aggregate. OK foul shooter as far as bigs are concerned, and has an excellent foul drawing framework.<br />
--Good frame for an NBA center. Good rebounder with decent enough defensive rebound rates. Absolute defensive hack who will struggle to last even half of an NBA game with sky high foul rates, but is a very active defensive playmaker, with very good stealing numbers for frame but also good shotblocking rates as well. A center with a legitimate scoring mentality, aggressive offensive rebounding rates, some touch and an active defensive disposition, and ultimately only his hack mentality is really holding him back.<br />
<br />
Kristaps Porzingis<br />
--Decent scoring center, but virtually never passes the ball. Poor offensive framework.<br />
--Poor 2-point shooter for a big (50%) who doesn't draw fouls, but decent offensive rebounder. Takes a few three pointers with OK percentages for size, but awful foul shooter might make it unsustainable.<br />
--Good build for a NBA center, but really needs to add weight. Top notch defensive playmaker with an elite ability to accrue steals by position, but also a good shotblocker. Needs to control fouls, wouldn't last half of an NBA game. Awful rebounder with an absolutely pathetic defensive rebound rate. Lack of weight, rebounding and major foul proneness undercut deflection potential, and all aspects of his offense are weak. Only a deflecting big, but young enough to improve from here.<br />
<br />
Mario Hezonja<br />
--Just an OK scoring shooting guard. Decent passer who limits turnovers.<br />
--Inclined three point shooter with a potentially lethal shot (aggregate around 38%, with 87.5% free throw percentage). Also a decent two-point shooter (52.2%). Doesn't really draw fouls well or contest for offensive boards.<br />
--Very good build for a NBA SG. Good rebounder with a very good defensive rebound rate by position. Awful defensive playmaker. Efficient inside-outside offensive player who limits mistakes and rebounds well to be a multifaceted cog, but might lack a certain athleticism (foul drawing, defensive playmaking) to take it up a notch.<br />
<br />
Mouhammadou Jaiteh<br />
--Subpar scoring center, with somewhat poor 2-point-percentages (51.0%) and an inability to draw fouls. Contests for offensive boards. Jumper might be just OK at best, with OK free throw percentages.<br />
--Good build for a NBA center. For size, subpar defensive playmaker. Poor shotblocker for size but especially for his 7'4" wingspan, and is a better stealer than shotblocker. Just an OK rebounder and slightly subpar defensive rebounder, but defensive rebounds have been very poor in the EuroCup and French Leagues. Extremely foul prone. Completely unrefined on defense, with fouling, defensive rebounding, and lack of shotblocking issues, on top of very poor offensive efficiency. Might lack a niche.<br />
<br />
Nenad Miljenovic<br />
--Tall point guard with extremely awful scoring rates--might really struggle to score in the NBA. Really, really looks to pass most of the time, and limits turnovers fairly well considering frequency of passing.<br />
--Awful inside and outside (44.0% 2's, 17.8% 3's), but as a really good basic skeleton--good free throw percentages and draws a ton of fouls, even within small usage. Contests o-boards decently with size.<br />
--Top notch build for a NBA PG, but severely underweight. Good defensive rebounder and decent overall rebounder for size. Practically underwater in defensive playmaking. Has pure PG smarts, great size and underrated athletic traits (rebounding, drawing fouls), and some sprinkles of shooting potential, but offensive passivity and zero ability to manufacture points in non-foul settings is a major turnoff, and his defensive playmaking is a red flag.<br />
<br />
Vasilje Micic<br />
--Subpar scoring guard. Extremely close to being an NBA point guard--certainly passes like one, but extremely turnover prone so at this point he hedges to something more like a slight combo, but the basic instincts are there.<br />
--Pretty good two-point percentages. OK offensive framework equally sharing some foul drawing and three point attempts, but subpar free throw shooting and even more subpar three point shooting makes his overall jumper extremely questionable for the NBA.<br />
--Just an OK frame for a NBA SG. Extremely underwhelming as a defensive playmaker, with steals but also has zero blocks for his size so far. Awful rebounder not up to snuff with defensive rebounding. Would be far better as a 6'4" PG, which he could be, and shows some base scoring ability inside the two-point line, but questionable athletic markers (relative lack of foul drawing, athletic defensive markers), questions on jumper, and major turnover proneness are issues. With a lot of hard work to refine, has a slightly similar base game to Goran Dragic, though.<br />
<br />
Walter Tavares<br />
--Awful scoring center with zero handles and vision, and might really struggle to score in the NBA. A turnover waiting to happen.<br />
--Excellent offensive rebounder, but awful at drawing fouls especially for size. Surprisingly decent free throw percentages for size.<br />
--Top notch frame for an NBA center. Excellent rebounder, and very good at clearing the defensive glass. Very good defensive playmaking making a living off shotblocking. But an absolute defensive hack who might not last half of an NBA game. Will have to rely on NBA frame with rebounding/defensive playmaking combination, but completely raw on both ends, with fouling on defense and very few instincts on offense in general. Reminds of Rudy Gobert.<br />

<b><u>Stateside Players:</u></b><br />
<br />
Aaric Murray<br />
--Scoring-minded center with somewhat high usage, but awful use of the offensive floor. Doesn't pass.<br />
--Specialty is the mid-range game (41%, 39%) which he can even hit off the dribble. Just an OK finisher for size, but really struggles to draw fouls given at-rim attempt frequency. Has shown an OK three point shot in limited attempts for size, and has hit them even off the dribble well in the past. Doesn't appear to be a sharpshooter between the limited attempts and OK free throw shooting, but the mid-range shooting could hold.<br />
--Good build for an NBA center, but poor defender. Excellent defensive playmaker who has shown a real knack for shotblocking with some side ability for steals. Decent rebounder. More sizzle than steak on defense, and needs to improve fundamentals. Offensively just mostly a mid-range shooter, and defensively has length but has a long way to go, so he lacks the sustaining qualities to put himself firmly in a NBA roster.<br />
<br />
Aaron Craft<br />
--Caretaker point guard with an incredibly low usage rate, and translated NCAA scoring suggests he will rarely ever score in the NBA. Mostly a passer with low usage but will force passes and accrue turnovers just to avoid shooting.<br />
--Isolation player within minimal usage. Uses usage to mostly slash to the basket off the dribble, but awful finisher although has an ability to draw fouls. His jumper has gone well south after a promising first two seasons, when he shot a 45% aggregate in mid-range pull-ups and 37% from three; last season, he shot 33 and 30, and this season, 23 and 32, and that is a huge red flag. Shrinking his three point attempts each passing year, and with just OK free throw percentage aggregate, might simply now lack the range and jumper efficacy for the NBA.<br />
--Good stocky build for the position. Excellent defender. Very good at making defensive plays, in particular with very quick hands for steals. Nondescript rebounder. Will really, really have to rely on the defense, because there is pretty much nothing to work with on offense. Very niche role player all the way.<br />
<br />
Aaron Harrison<br />
--Scoring shooting guard who utilizes a mixture of set-ups and isos. Very good ballhandler, but not a passer. --Good finisher off the dribble with an even better ability to draw fouls given frequency of rim attempts. Excellent pull-up jumper. Very poor spot-up three point shooter magnified by amount of attempts, and OK free throw shooter probably puts a ceiling of spot-up shooting ability.<br />
--Average defender at best. Good frame for a SG. Subpar defensive playmaker and very poor rebounder for size. Has ballhandling and excellent scoring chops both from mid-range and at the rim, but nondescript range, passing and all-around defensive attributes makes him a bit like a stronger DeMar DeRozan.<br />
<br />
Aaron Gordon<br />
--Decent scoring power forward who sets up own shots far more than the typical power forward (47.18% of shots assisted). Very good ballhandler. OK passer for position. Excellent finisher at the rim off set ups and improvisations, but just an average offensive rebounder and not impressive at drawing fouls given frequency of attempts.<br />
--Might not have a jumper. Absolutely broken pull-up jumper corroborated by awful free throw numbers, but that does not stop him from taking them. However, has shot well in very few spot-up threes.<br />
--Top notch defender who would have ranked third last year with his current rating. Excellent rebounder who really clears out the defensive glass. Controls fouls well. Decent build for position, but severely underweight. Nondescript for position in defensive playmaking. Has a great athletic base in really finishing, rebounding and defending extremely well, and skills in handles, but athletic upside on most ends might be limited by just OK to poor ability to make defensive plays or draw fouls. Skills-wise, he can be a PF, but he is underweight, and at SF he lacks the jumper, so tweener issues are on top of that. Does not have the offensive machismo of a Blake Griffin, but a bit like Al Farouq Aminu.<br />
<br />
Aaron White<br />
--Undersized power forward who aggressively scores by finishing at the rim off set ups. Not turnover prone, but also not a passer. Excellent at drawing fouls. Little range (29% 2's, 27% 3's) but OK free throw shooting gives some hope.<br />
--Good rebounder. Slightly subpar defensively, and just a decent defensive playmaker who is a better stealer than shotblocker. OK build for position. Might be an offensive athlete only, but it's questionable whether he can make it as only an at-rim finisher.<br />
<br />
Adreian Payne<br />
--Decent scoring, slightly undersized center who plays a set-up inclined, inside-outside offensive game. Major tunnel vision, but limited turnovers better this year.<br />
--Very good finisher at the rim off inclined set ups, but doesn't go after offensive rebounds or draw fouls well. Very good mid-range shooter (38, 42, 44% last three seasons) in inclined spot-up situations. Starting experimenting with spot-up threes the past two years with very good results (38, 43%), with OK free throw shooting but very good recent foul numbers, so his ability to shoot is believable.<br />
--Very good defender. Has become a far more invested defensive rebounder the past two years, but the aggregate suggests merely decent rebounding overall. Good defensive playmaker, but this season cut down his rate of shotblocking to poor levels in order to control fouls better, as he was foul prone in the past. A bit of a poor frame as a NBA center. Has definite two-way potential for the NBA, as a spot-up, face-up center with shooting ability on offense and some shotblocking and good defensive ability. <br />
<br />
AJ Hammons<br />
--High usage scoring-minded center who needs to be set up for his shots, but aggressively sets himself up for them.<br />
--Prefers to camp out for spot-up mid rangers but only hits them at 33%, and just appears to be an OK free throw shooter for his size (68%) so there might be a cap to this ability. Also an excellent finisher off spoon feeds, but doesn't draw many fouls relative to the frequency of those attempts. Not turnover prone as he's not a creator, but also puts the blinders on when he touches the ball.<br />
--Excellent defensive playmaker in form of shotblocks, with an excellent body frame. Just a decent rebounder for his size, and a decent to good defender. His offense has weaknesses both inside and outside, and he might find it more efficient to finish inside. His defense has major potential and is good, but he's lagging behind in some of the nuances.<br />
<br />
Alan Williams<br />
--Extremely undersized scoring center who mostly relies on set-ups to score, and ramped up his usage to stratospheric levels this past year. Never passes once he touches the ball, but with spot-up inclined game not turnover prone.<br />
--Top notch offensive rebounder, but an awful finisher whether through tip-ins or set-ups, and really struggles to draw fouls given frequency of at-rim attacks. Much improved spot-up mid-range jumper that might just be OK in the aggregate, corroborated with subpar free throw shooting. Has a slight base for an OK mid-range jumper with offensive rebounding, but both have real concerns in execution and could lack an offensive niche.<br />
--Very good defender. Makes a ton of defensive plays, being an excellent shotblocker for size but also a decent stealer. Absolutely top notch rebounder, especially for size. Very awful body frame for an NBA center and is a major tweener two positions below his height, but has an excellent defensive base and slight potential on offense, which could make him at least a Chuck Hayes, and possibly with better offense.<br />
<br />
Alex Kirk<br />
--Just an OK scoring center who relies on set up shots, and as such limits turnovers, but also not a passer. Poor use of the offensive floor.<br />
--Very good finisher on set-ups with improved accuracy and frequency of at-rim attempts after a season off, but struggles to draw fouls. Decent spot-up mid-range jumper, but percentages did fall this season, and grain of salt given subpar free throw shooting.<br />
--Excellent frame for a NBA center. Good defender. Just a decent defensive playmaker for size, with just OK shotblocking for a 7-footer. Decent rebounder. Has shades of an inside-outside game, but both are slightly iffy with inability to draw fouls and free throw concerns, and again brings good defense, so has potential for a two-way game, but no real elite attribute as well as a need to be set up might relegate him to NBA backup.<br />
<br />
Alex Poythress<br />
--Scoring big who can set up shots for himself with an OK ability to use the entire floor. Inside scorer with elite finishing ability, whether set up or off his own devices.<br />
--Still really trying to figure out his NBA position. Absolutely puts the blinders on in offense, and very prone to turnovers, with these intangibles being two positions down if he is to be a small forward. His shooting game has slightly more potential, as he shot 41% from spot-up threes, but on a very small sample size, but he does have a workable, albeit slightly subpar free throw percentage. Trainwreck pull-up jumper however.<br />
--Very poor defender. Absolutely pathetic defensive playmaking with just OK rebounding ability. His defense might be further compounded by positional concerns in the NBA, where he might need to be crossmatched between forward positions. To really stick in the NBA, he'll have to prove that his long range jumper is viable and develop into possibly an inside-outside threat to counteract the lack of defense, crossmatching, passing and handles, but there's a cap to how much he can do. There's a resemblance to Carl Landry here.<br />
<br />
Amedeo Della Valle<br />
--Spot-up long range shooter who just takes spot-up threes all day for his shots and hits them (40%), but grain of salt given that he's a very poor free throw shooter. No mid-range game or at-rim game.<br />
--Not a passer, and very poor handles especially for a spot-up. Ballhandling and passing ability are about two steps down from listed height.<br />
--Excellent defender. Very good rebounder. Very good defensive playmaker, in particular with the ability to block shots. Very defined, niche player, but has ability on both ends, but we'll really have to see if we can sustain his shooting on offense.<br />
<br />
Amir Williams<br />
--Extremely low usage center with a submarine scoring rate, and in his rare attempts relies on set-ups to score. Has only six assists in 66 games for his college career, and a turnover waiting to happen.<br />
--Plays mostly at the rim and is a very active offensive rebounder, but an awful finisher for size even despite being set-up. Does draw a ton of fouls, but also is a major hack candidate given submarine-awful free throw shooting. Significantly improved his rare spot-up mid-range attempts, but overall very poor in the aggregate, and obviously huge grain of salt with free throw percentage. Overall, very hopeless on the offensive end.<br />
--Elite defender. Top notch defensive playmaker with very good ability to block shots. Good rebounder, but rebound rate particularly in defensive rebounding really dropped the past year. Just an OK frame for the NBA center position, and really needs to put on weight. Will really have to rely on his defense to make it to the NBA, but his frame isn't all that special and needs to maintain his rebounding.<br />
<br />
Andre Hollins<br />
--Undersized jumpshooting SG who utilizes a high usage rate to score with a mixture of set ups and isos. Combo guard levels of passing who for a jumpshooter really needs to watch out for turnovers.<br />
--Very few at-rim attempts, really struggles to penetrate and rare tries display subpar finishing ability even when set up. Very poor mid-range game as well. His specialty is really hitting threes (39%, 42%), even off the dribble, corroborated by top notch free throw percentages. Also has a real knack for drawing fouls despite being a jumpshooter.<br />
--Very poor defender with an awful frame to guard NBA shooting guards. Subpar defensive playmaker and rebounder. Will not only need to be crossmatched, but will likely need to be hidden. Can really shoot the ball, but his scoring instincts lead to poor decision making in the form of turnovers and a poor in-between game. Lacks the decision making and penetration ability to be more than a sparkplug, if that. Reminds of Jannero Pargo.<br />
<br />
Andrew Harrison<br />
--Very low usage shooting guard with middling scoring ability. Can rack up assists, but incredibly turnover prone in doing so, and lacks the usage and isolation rates of starting NBA PGs, and overall passing is in the SG spectrum.<br />
--Nearly three-quarters of offense comes from spot-up threes and off-the-dribble slashes. Awful finisher, but absolutely incredible rate of drawing fouls in the early going. Very good spot-up three point shooter (43.8%) corroborated by a high sample of free throws (82.6%). Subpar pull-up jumper.<br />
--Good build for a NBA SG. However, atrocious defender. Absolutely nonexistent ability to make defensive plays. Completely nonexistent rebounder. Very foul prone. Just completely overmatched on the defensive end of the floor. Can be a low usage shooter in the NBA with some ability to slash, but needs overall refinement at the rim, and defense is a major, major problem. Will need time to figure things out.<br />
<br />
Andrew Wiggins<br />
--Scoring-minded small forward who takes half of his shots as preferred set-up shots at the rim. Just a decent finisher and just a decent ability to draw fouls given attempts. Good ballhandler given creation levels, but not a passer.<br />
--Good pull-up jumper. Just an average spot-up three point shooter at this stage, and poor free throw percentages and fewer attempts might mean his long range shot is just OK at best.<br />
--Very good build for a NBA small forward. Good defender. Good rebounder. Decent defensive playmaker. Never fouls. Overall, Wiggins has no severe limitations, although the lack of passing and possible range efficacy are definite upside concerns, but he could be a jack of all trades, master of none type, as his defense looks the strongest above anything.<br />
<br />
Austin Hollins<br />
--Very poor scoring, very low usage, heavily-inclined spot-up jumpshooting SG with a good use of the offensive floor. Combo guard levels of passing who in the past would force passes and accrue turnovers just to avoid shooting.<br />
--Red flag is that rate of at-rim attempts have decreased over three college seasons, but actually a very good finisher off a mixture of set-ups and off dribble work, but questionable foul drawing. Awful mid-range game. A subpar spot-up three point shooter in the aggregate, but is a good-ish free throw shooting lends slight hope. His finishing is better than his jumpshooting, and for a low usage rate having a poor jumpshooting canvas is very problematic.<br />
--Pretty good build for a shooting guard, but very poor defender. Pretty good defensive playmaker with quick hands for steals, but awful rebounder. Low usage offensive player with poor jumper with very poor defense suggests he's not NBA material.<br />
<br />
Branden Dawson<br />
--Decent scorer with a power forward game in a small forward's body, both in terms of shooting ability and handles. Unselfish, but also very turnover prone.<br />
--Zero offensive polish and elusiveness. No range. Has no mid-range jumper (33% on 2's past two seasons, 54.5% free throw shooting). Plays mostly at the rim, and pretty good finisher who goes after offensive boards for size, but really struggles to draw fouls given the frequency of attempts at rim.<br />
--Excellent defender. Makes a ton of defensive plays, notable with steals but also blocks for size. Good rebounder even as an undersized power forward. Might need to put on weight for this role if he is to make it.<br />
<br />
Brandon Ashley<br />
--Slightly subpar scoring, subpar usage frontcourt tweener with an inclined set up game and subpar use of the offensive floor. Extremely turnover prone for someone so set-up inclined, and has the ball skills of a player two positions down from his listed height. For that reason, still really trying to figure out his NBA position.<br />
--Excels at the mid-range space (40%) but might just be decent given just OK free throw shooting numbers. Lacks range. Decent finisher at the rim with inclined set-up shots, but not overly special at drawing fouls given at-rim frequency.<br />
--Just an OK defender, but awful body frame given major tweener status. Just an OK defensive playmaker, equally OK in steals and blocks. Good rebounder for size, particularly on the defensive glass. Needs weight. Lacks a standout attribute on both ends of the floor, and is mostly just a rebounder with a mid-range jumper, but massive tweener status might really hurt his chances.<br />
<br />
Briante Weber<br />
--Caretaker point guard who lacks the usage rate, ability to use the entire floor, and scoring ability to be a starting PG in the NBA.<br />
--Slashing oriented but this season has developed a very reliable pull-up mid ranger (43%) which jibes with good free throw percentages. Lacks range.<br />
--Defensive monster. Insane length racks up tons of steals and defensive plays, and might be one of the best rebounders at the PG position in the NBA. Even without the steals has a enormous defensive impact. Lacks weight.<br />
<br />
Brice Johnson<br />
--High-usage scoring tweener forward who aggressively sets himself up in positions to score. Excellent finisher off cuts to the rim, but absolutely atrocious use of the offensive floor. No ability to draw fouls especially given frequency of at-rim attacks. Won't pass when he touches the ball.<br />
--Has little range, but still takes two-thirds of his shots as spot-up mid-range jumpers with poor results (33%), corroborated by very poor free throw shooting.<br />
--Excellent defender, with good build even for a NBA power forward. Near elite rebounder for size. Very good defensive playmaker who gets steals and blocks. Extremely underweight, but has a great all-around athletic base and mentality to be a defensive stopper in the NBA. Kind of reminds of Jeremy Evans, in that he has a PF game and SF weight, and has little skills beyond set-up finishing, but has massive defensive potential.<br />
<br />
Cameron Biedscheid<br />
--Slightly subpar scoring small forward who takes spot-up three pointers all day but struggles to connect (30%) and not much better a spot-up mid-rangers (35%), although very good free throw shooting gives some hope. Doesn't penetrate. Limits turnovers with spot-up role.<br />
--Possibly one of the worst defenders in the NCAA. Decent frame for a NBA small forward, but could really use weight. Absolutely nonexistent defensive playmaker and rebounder. Absolutely no hope defensively, and offensively is really a work in progress in a simplified role, but looks like he has no NBA hope.<br />
<br />
Chasson Randle<br />
--Undersized shooting guard with a scoring mentality and a good use of the offensive floor. Decent ballhandler, but not even a combo guard, as he has shooting guard levels of passing.<br />
--Awful finisher off the dribble who struggles to draw fouls. Subpar pull-up jumper. Good three point shooter (44%, 36%) who is better in spot-up than off-dribble situations, but likely not a sharpshooter, corroborated by the mid-range game and just pretty good free throw shooting.<br />
--Poor defender with an awful frame for a NBA SG. Not only needs to be crossmatched, but probably hidden. Awful defensive playmaking ability and very poor rebounding ability. Very little nose for the ball. Lacks athleticism as manifested by few athletic markers on both ends of the court, and undersized status raises concerns, and he's likely not the sharpshooter to counteract all these problems.<br />
<br />
Chris Obekpa<br />
--Power forward who plays excellent defense, with an insane ability to make defensive plays. Stratospheric levels of shotblocking and also some stealing ability. Good rebounder. Good frame.<br />
--Possibly has the worst scoring rate of all of college basketball. Incredibly low usage power forward with a severe identity crisis and an awful floor game. Takes a ton of mid-range jumpers off the dribble but can't hit (32%) and likely has no chance given his free throw percentage (39%). Poor finisher for his size whether off passes or his own devices, and doesn't draw fouls for a big. Also a turnover waiting to happen, but has enough of a desire to pass, but not the scoring ability, to cut it as a power forward.<br />
--Will likely be a completely non-entity on offense if he is to make it to the NBA, and will have to rely on his excellent defense and ability to block shots, but make sure that he's got going for those blocks at the expense of rebounds.<br />
<br />
CJ Fair<br />
--Low usage, slightly subpar scoring face-up power forward who scores off a mixture of set-up shots and improvisation. Not a passer, but limits turnovers.<br />
--Lives primarily at the mid-range space and can hit even off the dribble (39, 40, 44%) although OK foul shooting might mean the shot is more decent than good. Poor finisher for size off the dribble, but also really struggles to draw fouls given at-rim attempts. OK foul shooter, but awful use of the offensive floor.<br />
--Good defender with just an OK frame for an NBA power forward. Pretty good defensive playmaker who pads a few steals and blocks. Just an OK rebounder at best. Better college than NBA player, he could hit mid-range jumpers and defend, but lacks the athletic traits (finishing, rebounding) to take it up a notch further, and he might need to resolve his tweener status, given he is severely underweight for a NBA PF. A bit similar to another Orange player, Kris Joseph.<br />
<br />
CJ Wilcox<br />
--Scoring-minded jumpshooter who has for the most part utilized an equal mixture of mid-range pull-ups and spot-up threes, and a good use of the entire offensive floor. Really good shooter from everywhere (41, 44, and 42% from mid-range, and 37, 40, and 42% from three), corroborated with excellent free throw shooting. Has even shown very good ability to hit threes off the dribble. Excellent ballhandler relative to his responsibility, but also not a passer.<br />
--Will never see the rim, with one of the worst at-rim rates in college basketball (8, 12 and 13% of shots at rim the past three years), and doesn't draw fouls.<br />
--Very poor defender. Nondescript defensive playmaker and awful rebounder for size. Good frame and looks the part of the NBA SG. Severely lacks athleticism between the lack of at-rim attempts and the very poor defensive attributes, but looks to be a very good shooter in the league, although he might need to minimize it to fit into a three point specialist niche to really draw out his true value. It's questionable whether he can provide enough value in other areas to stick in as a shooting specialist.<br />
<br />
CleAnthony Early<br />
--Extremely spot-up inclined scoring machine with a high usage rate. Has a roughly even distribution of shot attempts at-rim, mid-range and from deep, but reduced mid-range attempts for more threes this season. Not a passer at all. An absolute black hole, and while limits turnovers with spot-up style, handles are at center levels. Might be far better scoring as an undersized big.<br />
--Finishes very well around the basket off set ups for size, and also draws fouls well given at-rim frequency, but subpar offensive rebounder who virtually didn't bother here this past season. Much improved shooter this season (39.5% spot-up inclined 2's, 37.3% spot-up threes) but could be fairly average on both counts in the aggregate, although a very good foul shooter which lends credence to improved shooting.<br />
--Decent defender, but absolutely awful build if he is two positions down (NBA center). Awful rebounder if he is to be a center. Subpar defensive rebounder. Just a decent defensive playmaker, who if he is to be a big, is a better stealer than shotblocker by position. A real tweener who might find it easier to play his all-around spot-up scoring in a big role, but will really struggle by size, rebounding and lack of defensive attributes on that front.<br />
<br />
Cory Jefferson<br />
--Subpar scoring big man with a low usage rate, and who relies on set ups to score. Touches the ball to score and will never pass, but also really minimizes turnovers with spot-up game. Center-like ball skills.<br />
--Excellent finisher when set up, but has a nondescript foul drawing rate given frequency of attempts at rim. Has also really developed his jumper this past season, between the mid-range jumper and free throw percentage. Better at spot-up mid-rangers, and in the aggregate, probably a decent mid-range jumpshooter, but might be more OK to decent with subpar free throw aggregate.<br />
--Decent to good defender. Very active defensive playmaker who gets blocks, but just a decent rebounder. Has a very poor body frame for an NBA center given tweener status, and severely underweight. Athletic big who can score inside and outside without the ball in his hands, and has a good athletic defensive base, in a way that reminds somewhat of Serge Ibaka.<br />
<br />
Dakari Johnson<br />
--Scoring-minded center who primarily scores at rim mostly off elite offensive rebounding, good foul drawing and heavy improvisation, but awful finisher for size. Very good ballhandler given style of game, but puts the blinders on and not a passer.<br />
--Has been very good with early mid-range jumper returns but huge grain of salt given submarine free throw percentages.<br />
--Looks the part of a NBA center. Decent defender at best. While a top notch overall rebounder, just decent on the defensive glass. Absolutely anemic in defensive playmaking, and not a shotblocker. Extremely foul prone. More or less a major hustle player on offense to scrounge out scores, but has questions about offensive execution inside and outside and on defense the primary attributes need a lot of work. A project not to different from Jordan Hill.<br />
<br />
D'Angelo Harrison<br />
--Undersized shooting guard who is an aggressive jumpshooting scorer, using his high usage rate to mix it up with set ups and isos. Not a passer at all, but good ballhandler who limits turnovers.<br />
--Rarely generates at-rim attempts due to an inability to penetrate and finish, but way better finisher when set up. Much improved pull-up jumper, but can be streaky based on the previous year. Excellent job of drawing fouls as a jumpshooter. Subpar three point shooter, but better when spotting up. Is probably a better shooter than what he displays on the floor due to good free throw shooting, but has shaky offensive decision-making ability.<br />
--Awful defender with subpar frame. Subpar defensive playmaker and rebounder. Not only needs to be crossmatched, but hidden. Since he can't penetrate or pass, really needs to devote himself to spot-up shots an firm up his shooting to offset his defense, as not only does he lack a niche NBA skill set but he has a lot of flaws that need to be worked around.<br />
<br />
Danuel House<br />
--Decent, preferred spot-up scoring small forward with a top-notch use of the offensive floor. Pretty good finisher who prefers to be set up, and has a real knack for drawing a ton of fouls relative to at-rim attempts.<br />
--Good mid-range jumper (38%), but subpar three point shot (30%), and since he's just an OK free throw shooter, he might be just a average shooter in the aggregate. As a passer and ballhandler, plays the part of the NBA small forward.<br />
--Awful defender. Awful defensive playmaker who contributes very little steals and blocks. Decent rebounder for size. Pretty good frame for an NBA small forward, but needs to put on weight. Has ability as a slasher in the next level with elements of a mid-ranger, but still needs to firm up his shooting and really improve on his defense to help his chances for the next level.<br />
<br />
DeAndre Daniels<br />
--Very poor scoring, inclined spot-up tweener forward. Has the handles and vision of a power forward.<br />
--Decent finisher who is significantly better off set ups, but really struggles to draw fouls given attack frequency. Did improve his jumper slightly this year as he moved his game from spot-up threes to the mid-range, but still awful overall (18, 34% 2's, 23, 31% 3's), although did reduce his turnovers. There's some hope given that he is a decent free throw shooter, but has a very poor shooting canvas overall. Overall, subpar use of the offensive floor.<br />
--Poor defender. Very good defensive playmaker with a real knack for blocking shots. Subpar rebounder. Just an OK body for the NBA, given tweener status. Overall, has significant weaknesses on both ends of the court--has some length to finish off cuts and can block shots, but soft given inability to rebound and draw fouls, and really struggles to shoot and defend. Reminds of Rasual Butler.<br />
<br />
DeAndre Kane<br />
--Over-aged, undersized shooting guard with a high usage and an isolation style (35.89% of shots assisted). Passes the ball like a combo in the SG slot, but has bouts of turnover proneness within play.<br />
--Decent finisher who prefers them off spoon feeds, and draws fouls well; this year in particular, he's finishing and drawing fouls really well. Very poor pull-up jumper. Has a very spotty track record of hitting threes, which he prefers to take off the dribble, with sample size issues this season as well. An awful foul shooter for a guard in the aggregate, so his jumper is extremely poor.<br />
--Good rebounder for size. Slightly subpar defender. Weak defensive playmaker. Just an OK build for a NBA SG. Largely just an off-ball at-rim finisher with some passing and rebounding, but major questions with the jumper, handles, the age and possibly the defense.<br />
<br />
Delon Wright<br />
--Oversized PG with just OK usage but very good isolation ability (29.98% shots assisted), and at his level, has found a balance of good scoring and PG-like passing within the usage. Good ballhandler for levels of isolation as well.<br />
--Takes most of his shots as drives off the dribble, where he is an elite finisher at his level, and decent at drawing fouls given frequency. Has jumper potential as well: good free throw shooter on a sizable number of attempts, and has a good pull-up jumper albeit in few attempts. Very questionable long range shot, between efficiency and sample size, and takes most of those off the dribble.<br />
--Plays elite, smothering defense which might well be the very best in the NCAA right now. Elite build for a NBA PG, but sorely lacking strength. Excellent defensive playmaker who can get steals and even block shots, and controls fouls very well considering. Excellent rebounder for position, especially with elite value on defensive glass for position. Just all-around excellent in defensive fundamentals, defensive athleticism, and rebounding, with the height: has virtually no flaws in this area. Has major potential, especially on defense, where he is broad-based excellent, but also on offense, where he can get into triple threat positions mid-range in: pull-up, slash, or pass while handling the ball well. Major NBA sleeper potential, especially as Dorell Wright's younger brother.<br />
<br />
Deonte Burton<br />
--Undersized shooting guard with good scoring chops and heavy isolation ability (only 19.5% of shots are assisted). Excellent ballhandler given responsibility, but just combo guard levels of passing.<br />
--Decent finisher at the rim off the dribble who has improved every year, and has a great knack for drawing fouls. Has also really developed a pet pull-up jumper over the past two years (39%, 44%) corroborated by decent free throw shooting on a large sample. Just an OK three point shooter in the aggregate, but frequency and percentages have regressed over past several years. More of a off-dribble, mid-range in attacker, but has a decent jumpshooting base.<br />
--One of the worst defenders in all of the NCAA. Very awful build for an NBA SG. Very nondescript defensive playmaker. Flat out awful rebounder. Has really nothing to work with as a defender, because not only will he need to be crossmatched, but he also definitely needs to be hidden. Unfortunate given that he has very good ballhandling and scoring chops mid-range in, and can be a sparkplug off the bench.<br />
<br />
Devin Thomas<br />
--Power forward with a preferred isolation game compared to most in his position, but is a very poor scorer.<br />
--Primarily plays at the rim, where he is a subpar finisher for his size off improvisation, but nondescript at foul drawing at best given frequency of attempts. No range, given awful mid-range numbers (22%) and very poor free throw shooter. Extremely turnover prone. Absolute train wreck on the offensive end.<br />
--Good defender. Very good defensive playmaker who pads both steals and blocks. Very good rebounder. Very good frame for a NBA PF. Has a good defensive base for the NBA, minus maybe an inch, and will really have to rely on it to make it given that there's no hope on offense.<br />
<br />
Devon Collier<br />
--Small forward who can score by playing largely at the rim and drawing fouls extremely well. Good finisher, but needs to be set up. Has become very aggressive offensively over the years in setting himself up to score around the rim.<br />
--Lacks range, and in fact, also is rapidly regressing in mid-range efficiency and attempts to the point where his range might not extend outside the paint, and is further corroborated by very poor free throw percentages.<br />
--Very good defensive playmaker getting both steals and blocks. Excellent rebounder for size. Looks the part of the NBA small forward, and with the exception of the range, his handles are also fit for the position. His whole game kind of reminds of an early version of Trevor Ariza.<br />
<br />
Devyn Marble<br />
--Spot-up shooting guard who possesses combo SG like passing skills and excellent ballhandling skills to go with an excellent frame for his position, and is his selling point.<br />
--Middling scorer with a subpar use of the entire floor. More or less a good finisher who can draw fouls, but needs to be spoon-fed. Decent mid-range jumper. Subpar three point shooter, but has some potential off spot-ups, but is a subpar free throw shooter so grain of salt.<br />
--Very poor defender. Subpar defensive playmaker and poor rebounder for size. Has some potential as an all-around scorer with passing and ballhandling who doesn't need the ball in his hands on the offensive end, but has to make sure the lack of defense doesn't override it.<br />
<br />
Dezmine Wells<br />
--A tick above average scoring guard with an awful use of the entire floor, opting to play mid-range in.<br />
--Decent at-rim finisher, but doesn't draw fouls well given the frequency and might need to be spoon-fed. Decent mid-range game and three point shooter, but does not take enough of the latter, and both questionable given subpar free throw shooting. Has notable problems with turnover issues when he becomes more passing-oriented, and barely a SG in terms of overall handles and mentality.<br />
--Just an OK defender. Very poor defensive playmaker, but excellent rebounder. Good frame for a SG. Does a little bit of everything, but isn't particularly good at anything, except maybe rebounding, and could stand to take more threes.<br />
<br />
Dorian Finney-Smith<br />
--Extremely low usage small forward with one of the worst scoring rates of the NCAA. Plays an isolation game (only 43.1% of shots assisted) and is a top notch offensive rebounder for size, but absolutely awful finisher who on top of that struggles to draw fouls given frequency of at-rim attempts.<br />
--Just OK ability to use the offensive floor, but has shown ability to hit three pointers (38%), but huge grain of salt, given that his pull-up mid-ranger is broke and very poor free throw shooting. Also, will force passes to avoid scoring, and is turnover prone.<br />
--Very good defender. Elite rebounder. Very nondescript defensive playmaker really lacking in steals. Very good body frame for a small forward. Kind of reminds of a more offensively passive, but possibly a better defending Corey Brewer. His offense has some glimpses but is very questionable, but can really rely on his defense before he figures out his offense.<br />
<br />
Doug McDermott<br />
--Super high usage scoring machine of a power forward, but does it in a spot-up style that should help translate to the NBA.<br />
--An absolute sharpshooter who goes lights out when spotting up. Elite mid-range (41, 47, 39%) and three point and absolutely insane three point percentages (47, 49%) the past two years, and corroborated with excellent free throw shooting. Has become a top notch finisher at the rim off passes as well, but could do a better job of drawing fouls. Not a passer, but limits turnovers as a spot-up type. and has a very poor use of the entire floor, meaning that he could be taking more threes to further optimize his already great efficiency.<br />
--Awful defender. Probably has the worst defensive playmaking rate of all of college basketball, with completely nonexistent stealing and shotblocking ability. Excellent rebounder especially for size. Decent frame for an NBA power forward. Will need to be hidden on the defensive end. It's easy to see his spot-up elite shooting game translating to the NBA level in a sort of Matt Bonner type role, with some rebounding on top of it, but needs to make sure he's not hemorrhaging as much on defense.<br />
<br />
Dwight Powell<br />
--Middling face-up scoring power forward who can be a matchup nightmare with an isolation ability that's normally atypical of gunner guards (39.29%) and has significantly stepped up his usage rate to match.<br />
--Appears to be a decent finisher off the dribble, but has had a declining finishing and foul drawing rate over his college career, to the point that both were subpar this past season. Has improved his pull-up jumper to the point where it is now decent. Has experimented with the three ball, but might lack the range, given that his shot appears mediocre to decent, confirmed by middling free throw percentages. Has to watch turnovers with isolation game.<br />
--Very good defender, and an excellent frame for a power forward. Decent defensive playmaker who pads steals and blocks. Very good rebounder. Extremely skinny. A player to really watch this season--should be able to hang in the league with his all-around defensive attributes, but has a unique one-on-one ability typically not found in players his size, even though his finishing ability and jumper are nothing to write home about.<br />
<br />
Elfrid Payton<br />
--Dynamic shooting guard who possesses an insane rate of isolation ability (only 12.34% of his shots are assisted) and an above average usage rate. Interesting NBA potential.<br />
--Middling scorer with a decent ability to use the entire floor. Lethal weapon driving to the rim, as in addition to being an insane foul drawer, has become an excellent finisher for his size. Unfortunately, range only extends to the paint. Nonexistent pull-up jumper (21%, 30%) but that doesn't stop him from taking it, and lacks range. Awful free throw shooter. Has passing ability at the SG spot, but is a turnover machine.<br />
--Very good defender. Very good defensive playmaker. Good rebounder. Just an OK body for his position. Extremely underweight. Overall, has very unique two-way strengths with the ability to drive to the rim and finish or draw fouls, with shades of passing ability, on top of the defense. At the very least the defense should hold up, but the offense might be severely affected by the completely nonexistent jumper.<br />
<br />
Eric Atkins<br />
--Caretaker point guard, with an incredibly low usage rate for the position and a huge penchant in spotting up for shots.<br />
--Awful scorer, but does use the entire floor. Does draw fouls, but poor finisher at the rim despite being spoon fed. Improving on what was an atrocious in-between game. Good three point shooter (38, 41% past two years) but grain of salt, given his poor free throw percentages.<br />
--Awful defender who is absolutely anemic at making defensive plays and at rebounding. Good frame. Has too many limitations on both ends to offset his three point shooting.<br />
<br />
Eric Moreland<br />
--Top notch defensive minded power forward with excellent defensive playmaking ability, particularly in shotblocking, and elite rebounding ability. Excellent frame.<br />
--Nonexistent scoring ability with extremely low usage. Just an OK finisher for his size, but better off spoon feeds, with declining foul drawing ability. Zero handles. Showed some signs of a decent spot-up last year but hemorrhaged it this year (38% 2's last year, 32% 2's, 24% 3's this year), and corroborated by awful foul line percentages.<br />
--Likely a complete non-entity on offense in the NBA who will have to rely on his defense and rebounding.<br />
<br />
Evan Nolte<br />
--Poor scorer, but incredibly defined role on offense: spot-up three point shooter, with seven-tenths of his shots coming from there. Good long range bomber (38% from 3), but slight concerns given mediocre free throw percentages. No penetration or mid-range game, but seems to be a capable finisher off passes.<br />
--Excellent handles and good passing ability, especially for a spot-up shooter. Has no positional issues in the NBA, plays the part of the NBA small forward.<br />
--Good defensive playmaker. Awful rebounder for his position. Very good frame. Seems ready-made for the NBA as a reasonable facsimile to Danny Green.<br />
<br />
Frank Kaminsky<br />
--Spot-up inclined center with decent scoring chops. With spot-up style, does an excellent job of limiting turnovers, but also a very good passer for size. As usage rate has increased, has reduced number of spot-up attempts. with a steadily increasing usage rate.<br />
--Very good finisher for size off inclined set-ups and OK offensive rebounding, but struggles to draw fouls given frequency. Before this season, had a very poor track record of bricking his many three point spot-ups, but to corroborate it, has also had poor mid-range percentages and just a OK free throw percentage aggregate. Has cut down his number of threes and hit mid-range-inclined spot-ups with decent frequency this season, with a decent enough spot-up three, but the aggregate percentages are still underwater here. Might be very poor as a general shooter.<br />
--Excellent size for a NBA center, Good defender. Good defensive playmaker who is decent at blocking shots, but also nimble enough to rake in steals for size. But just an awful rebounder for size, putting up very poor defensive rebound rates (with near bottom even for NCAA levels in his first two seasons). Might have to learn to control fouls. Overall, is physically overmatched with lack of foul drawing and rebounding, but is athletic enough to defend and make plays while passing the ball well for size. The backbreaker might be the lack of shooting ability, which combined with his physical issues make him a non-starter.<br />
<br />
Fuquan Edwin<br />
--Decent spot-up scoring small forward. Absolutely not a passer, to the point of near power forward levels, but does limit turnovers.<br />
--Awful finisher off spoon feeds who really struggles to draw fouls given frequency, and also has a very poor pull-up jumper. Pretty good spot-up three point shooter in the aggregate, and might be better served shrinking his role at the next level into simply being a three point shooter on offense.<br />
--Excellent defensive playmaker with a huge knack for getting steals, but just a slightly above average defender in the aggregate more known for stealing than defending. Could cut down on fouls. Just a decent rebounder, at best. Slightly subpar build. Has some value as a threes/steals candidate, but needs to recognize the shrinking of his offensive role, and his lack of ball skills, at-rim effectiveness and slightly subpar defensive framework beyond stealing make his NBA effectiveness niche and somewhat sketchy overall.<br />
<br />
Gary Harris<br />
--Shooting guard with a good spot-up scoring game. Limits turnovers given style of game, and has improved his passing to OK levels.<br />
--Poor finisher at the rim off preferred passes, but on top of that doesn't draw fouls given at-rim frequency. Has made a switch to more threes compared to last year, but shooting on that front has regressed. Still overall, a robust shooter (38.9% 2's, 37.7% 3's, 78.7% FTs) but these numbers suggest more good than great. Easily more of a scorer than a shooter.<br />
--Good build for a NBA SG. Fairly good defender with good ability to get steals just decent defensive playmaking ability. Awful rebounding ability. Might be relegated to being a jumpshooting scorer in the NBA with defensive chops, but the inability to rebound, pass that well or finish at the rim hinders his potential significantly.<br />
<br />
Georges Niang<br />
--Evenly distributed offensive game who can score from everywhere, but a subpar use of the entire floor<br />
--Top notch finisher at the rim off passes. Jumper game (both pull-up J's and spot-up threes, at 37 and 39%) are better than what OK free throw percentages suggests. Has no positional issues for the NBA, plays the part of the NBA small forward.<br />
--Very poor defensive player with virtually nonexistent defensive playmaking ability. Good rebounder for his size. Good frame for position. Between the offense and defense, reminds somewhat of Glenn Robinson.<br />
<br />
Glenn Robinson III<br />
--Extremely low-usage spot-up small forward with a subpar scoring rate, and emphasizes efficiency instead of using the entire floor.<br />
--Preferred inside player who finishes at an excellent rate off the pass, but doesn't draw fouls well. Has shown a good mid-range jumper, but doesn't use it much. OK three point shooter in limited attempts, but a poor free throw shooter, and might lack range for the NBA. Limits turnovers, but not a passer.<br />
--Subpar defender. Awful defensive playmaker. Good rebounder for his size. Just an OK frame. It's actually hard to see NBA viability, because he shows little ability to create shots for himself or for others, and his defense doesn't cut it. He'll need to go more towards his jumper and expand his range because of the non-foul drawing finishing might not cut it at the next level, but even that's a question mark at this stage.<br />
<br />
Greg Whittington<br />
--Awful spot-up scorer who is just OK at using the entire floor. Just an OK finisher at the rim off passes, but really struggles to draw fouls.<br />
--Operates under the pretense that he can shoot, but extremely poor results. Awful spot-up mid-range game (24, 32%) corroborated by awful free throw percentages. Spot-up three point shot extremely questionable after it dropped from 38 to 26%.<br />
--Excellent defensive player. Good rebounder. Decent defensive playmaker. Excellent frame for his position. Has no positional issues in the NBA, plays the part of the NBA small forward. However, lacks any sort of viable NBA scoring ability and will have to rely solely on his defense if he can't find the range.<br />
<br />
Isaiah Austin<br />
--Decent scoring center who loves the mid-range jumper, and can create those shots for himself and hit them (39%) while limiting turnovers. Also hits a few threes at an average clip, but both have a few question marks given subpar free throw shooting.<br />
--Does an absolutely awful job of using the whole floor offensively. Just an OK finisher but needs to be set up, and really struggles to draw fouls.<br />
--Good defender with an excellent frame. Good defensive playmaker with a knack for blocking shots. Good rebounder. He might have a base on the defensive end, but soft on offense and lacks the offensive diversity and possible jumpshooting sustenance to really make a dent in that area. Jonathan Bender clone?<br />
<br />
Jabari Bird<br />
--Spot-up inclined jumpshooting scoring small forward. Very good shooter who utilizes a mixture of mid-range pullups and spot-up three pointers to great effect, and has a polished jumper (39.3% mid-range, 41.7% 3's, 86.2% FTs).<br />
--Awful finisher at the rim off both set-ups and improvisation, likely due to lack of strength, and decent at best in drawing fouls. Not a passer, but limits turnovers given style of game.<br />
--One of the worst defenders in the NCAA in early sample returns. Average rebounder at best. Very poor defensive playmaker. Little nose for the ball. Average body frame for a NBA SF, really needs weight. Just a very polished jumpshooter at this stage and everything else is a net negative, so at best, he can find a role as a sharpshooting role player in the NBA.<br />
<br />
Jabari Parker<br />
--Scoring machine of a power forward. Commands a super high usage rate and aggressively puts himself in spot-up scoring positions, mostly from the perimeter. Puts the blinders on and does not pass the ball with spot-up style.<br />
--Bread and butter is top notch mid-range shooting (53.7%). Also really cashes in on spot-up threes (46.2%), but some sample size concerns and free throw shooting is just OK, but shooting should still be very good in the aggregate, given overall usage. Just an OK finisher at best for size off a mix of set ups and improvisation, but doesn't offensive rebound or draw fouls well given frequency of attempts.<br />
--Just an OK frame as far as a NBA power forward is concerned, and might be a little undersized. Slightly subpar defender. Decent defensive rebounder. Good defensive playmaker off a combination of steals and blocks. Spot-up mid-range scoring machine with some extra range is his billing, and has some defensive attributes, but nothing all that special there. His upside might be limited by his inability to play at the rim well, create or pass, and the overall defense is somewhat in question. A bit like Derrick Williams or Michael Beasley, possibly with better shooting, at this stage.<br />
<br />
Jahii Carson<br />
--Extremely undersized shooting guard who possesses the top notch usage rate and isolation skills (25.72% of shots assisted) of a NBA lead scorer, but unfortunately not the frame.<br />
--Scorer with subpar use of the entire floor. Gets to the rim and draws fouls, but just an OK finisher. Very good pull-up jumper (41%), but questionable long range ability and accuracy, which is further corroborated by just mediocre free throw percentages. Combo SG-like passing ability, not a PG.<br />
--Awful defender with awful defensive playmaking metrics and poor rebounding ability. Awful body frame for his position. Absolutely needs to be hidden on this end. The awful frame, defense and not enough long range and passing ability could be enough to jeopardize his chances, but his ability to create and score mid-range in could find a role as a backup scorer somewhere.<br />
<br />
Jakarr Sampson<br />
--Scoring-minded forward tweener who uses a high usage to score through a mix of set-ups and improvisations. Primarily lives in an inclined spot-up mid-range space which he connects on decently (37%), but grain of salt given poor free throw shooting, and lacks range. Limits turnovers, but absolutely puts the blinders on and not a passer.<br />
--Absolutely awful use of the offensive floor. Very good finisher who needs to be set up, but struggles to draw fouls given frequency of at-rim attacks.<br />
--Mediocre defender at best. Decent rebounder. Decent defensive playmaker in both steals and blocks. Mediocre frame for the NBA, given tweener status. Reminds a bit like Moe Harkless, another St. John's product, given that he's an all-around mediocre on the defensive side of the court while on offense he can only finish through set ups, but the inability to draw fouls is a red flag. Overall, he lacks a sure-fire bread and butter for the NBA, in the sense that he does a little bit of everything, but nothing particularly well.<br />
<br />
Jake Layman<br />
--Low-usage spot-up three point shooter who plays a complete spot-up game. Limits turnovers far better in this style, but has reduced passing to just OK levels.<br />
--With shooting, at this point really looks to have an identity crisis, between the aggregate spot-up three (33%) and free throw (70%) percentages, although his three point shot has really improved. Does eschew mid-range jumpers for at-rim shots. Just a decent finisher off a mixture of off dribble and setup shots, but really struggles to draw fouls. Might lack a real niche in general offense.<br />
--Decent defender. Good rebounder for his size. Excellent frame, looks and plays the part of the NBA SF. Makes a few defensive plays, with surprisingly decent shotblocking numbers. Just appears to lack a go-to aspect on either end of the court, and his defense might be his best attribute at this stage.<br />
<br />
James McAdoo<br />
--Relatively high usage big man who aggressively sets himself up to score, but only a middling scorer due to a severe lack of efficiency. Doesn't pass when he touches the ball, and has center-like handles.<br />
--Offense is highly centered around his spot up mid-range jumper, but simply might lack the touch (27%, 32%), corroborated by poor free throw percentages. Usage rate step-up this year to insist on taking those jumpers really hurt his team's offense, but there were many other problems: a higher turnover rate despite taking a similar percentage of set-up shots as the past year, and a reduced foul drawing rate. Awful use of the offensive floor, because while a decent finisher through improvisation and set-ups, not a major foul drawer.<br />
--Good defender. Decent defensive playmaker who has quick hands for steals, but an extremely poor shotblocker for size. Very poor rebounder for size. Subpar body for the NBA, especially given his tweener concerns--is a power forward or a center? Appears to really lack in athleticism given the little at-rim/foul drawing type play and few shotblocking, and has no viable offensive NBA skills for time being. It remains questionable whether his defense and playmaking can offset his lack of rebounding and tweener status, but there's not too much to work with.<br />
<br />
James Robinson<br />
--Caretaker PG with an incredibly low usage rate and a well preferred spot-up game compared to others at his position, and as such cannot start in the NBA, especially with his pathetic scoring rate.<br />
--Inclined slasher who just does an OK job of using the floor, but unfortunately one of the worst finishers in the college game. Spot-up mid range enthusiast who only hits them at an OK rate. Poor spot-up long range shooter, but is a good free throw shooter so that might improve.<br />
--Just an OK defender. Very poor defensive playmaker and rebounder. Might simply lack athleticism, between the defense and finishing.<br />
<br />
James Young<br />
--Incredibly inclined spot-up three point shooting SF, but might need to re-think this idea given early returns (30.8% 3's, corroborated by 66.7% from free throws). Decent scorer. Unselfish.<br />
--Average finisher off the dribble at best for size, but draws fouls fairly well. Little mid-range game.<br />
--Decent build for position. Very poor defender. Awful defensive playmaker. Very poor rebounder for size. Needs a ton of work on both ends of the court, as he has no niche on offense, besides being unselfish, and on defense he has zero instincts so far.<br />
<br />
Jarnell Stokes<br />
--Decent scoring center who loves to score off his own devices, with insane offensive rebounding rates, but is turnover prone in doing so. Just a decent finisher for his size. Subpar use of the entire offensive floor but does draw fouls.<br />
--Might lack range (26, 34% mid-range J's) but takes about a third of his shots as off-the-dribble jumpers, which is further corroborated by very poor free throw shooting. Center-like handles.<br />
--Excellent defender. Excellent rebounder. Very good defensive playmaker who accrues a combination of steals and blocks. Might be a tweener, with a subpar frame if he is a NBA center. Appears to be very athletic in doing glue-guy type attributes without the ball in his hands, but might lack a consistent means of scoring, although he can rely on his work on the defensive end.<br />
<br />
Javon McCrea<br />
--Extremely undersized, scoring-minded PF with a very high usage and an isolation-preferred scoring mentality. Despite a PF-handling base, not selfish.<br />
--Plays primarily an at-rim game. Awful use of the offensive floor because while he's a decent finisher off improvisation with very good offensive rebounding, really struggles to draw fouls given frequency of at-rim shots. Might possibly be a better mid-range jumpshooter off the dribble, but overall subpar shot even though he's featuring it more in his game, corroborated by very poor free throw shooting.<br />
--Very good defender. Excellent defensive playmaker who gets a very good combination of both steals and blocks. Elite rebounder for size, but rather ordinary on the defensive boards. Very poor frame for a NBA, given tweener status. Needs to put his defense to the forefront, because he might lack range for the NBA and do most of his offensive work through o-boards--very reminiscent of Chuck Hayes.<br />
<br />
Jerami Grant<br />
--Very low usage, subpar scoring small forward who is really set back on offense by lack of viable NBA inside or outside game. Really reduced turnovers from freshman year.<br />
--Plays an equal share of at-rim/mid-range basketball. Just an OK finisher at best at-rim, but very good offensive rebounder for size to manufacture a few points, and draws fouls well given frequency. Really held back what appears to be just an OK mid-range jumper, but with further grains of salt due to subpar free throw shooting and a major lack of range.<br />
--Very good build for a NBA SF, and a very good defender. Just OK in accruing defensive plays through a combination of steals and blocks. While a very good rebounder for a SF, just a OK defensive rebounder who has a far greater zest on on the o-boards. More of a meat-and-potatoes defender here, which limits the defensive upside here a bit. Overall will need to rely on defense, but really lacks any NBA viability on offense and lacks great defensive upside, and with lack of range it's questionable whether he can fit the bill as a NBA SF.<br />
<br />
Jerian Grant<br />
--Pure point guard with great size. Excellent court vision and ballhandling ability.<br />
--Middling scorer, but excellent at using the entire floor. Gets spoon-fed for at-rim shots more than the typical point guard, but is a poor finisher despite an ability to draw fouls. Atrocious mid-range game (28, 32%). Better at hitting threes (34, 36%) even though he takes most of them off the dribble. Some hope in his shot given that he is a good free throw shooter.<br />
--Very poor defender. Very underwhelming as a defensive playmaker. Absolutely pathetic as a rebounder for his size. Top notch build for his position. Might lack the athleticism to succeed in the NBA, between the defense and inability to penetrate and finish. Needs to develop better spot-up shooting ability to tap into his passing ability.<br />
<br />
Joe Harris<br />
--Jumpshooting-scoring SF who uses the entire offensive floor, with excellent ballhandling ability to mix isolations with spot-ups. Became far more scoring minded the past season.<br />
--Can really shoot the basketball from long range and was incredible from deep even off the dribble this year (44% this year, 39% and 42% two prior years). Also a good mid-range shooter who is starting to pull up more. The overall shooting has a slight grain of salt given middling free throw percentages, though, but body of work definitely suggests good shooting ability. Very poor finisher at the rim for size, but decent at drawing fouls.<br />
--Average defender with a good frame for the small forward position. Poor defensive playmaker and rebounder. Can be a shooting/scoring sparkplug in the league and looks and plays the part of the SF, but lacks the athleticism to take it up a notch.<br />
<br />
Joel Embiid<br />
--Scoring minded center who is a top notch finisher off set ups, with decent offensive rebounding. Just OK ability to draw fouls given frequency of at-rim attempts. Good passer for size, but for a set-up type, has to watch for turnovers.<br />
--Absolutely zero range, corroborated by poor free throw numbers.<br />
--Excellent build for a NBA center. Defensive behemoth, with an elite rating that would have ranked second last year in the NCAA on defense. Elite defensive rebounder. Elite defensive playmaker, not just with a ton of blocks but also some ability to get steals. Only problem here is has a super high foul rate which is why he does play beyond 18 minutes per game. Overall elite defensive attributes coupled with top notch at-rim finishing game reminds of Greg Oden.<br />
<br />
Johnny O'Bryant<br />
--Very high usage big man who aggressively attempts to score via isolation type plays (only 46.91% of his shots were assisted, impressive for a big), but only a decent scorer at the end due to poor efficiency. Never passes the ball. With his isolation type game, also extremely turnover prone. Handles it like a center.<br />
--Awful use of the offensive floor, and takes nearly two-thirds of his shots as jumpers--a poor proposition with both spot-up and off-dribble splits (28%, 31%) corroborated by poor free throw shooting. Might lack range. An offensive rebounding force, but grain of salt with execution--he's an excellent finisher off set ups, but noticeably weaker with improvisation<br />
--Decent defender. Very good rebounder for size, but a very underwhelming defensive playmaker as a big noticeably lacking in shotblocking ability. Subpar build for a NBA center, given tweener status. He needs to completely rework his game for the NBA level, because he'll need to put his decent defense and rebounding to the forefront, because offensively it only looks like he can finish off set ups and get o-boards, and he's a tweener. Reminds of DeMarre Carroll.<br />
<br />
Jordan Adams<br />
--Possible mutual exclusion candidate with his ability to take threes and draw fouls, effectively using the entire floor.<br />
--Very compact, mature scorer. Spot-up shooting guard, does an excellent job of scoring without the ball in his hands. Good finisher and foul drawer at the rim off passes, and appears far better at finishing when set up. Excellent mid-range shooter (45%, 38%) further confirmed by free throw shooting (82%, 84%). However, of note is that his at-rim finishing and mid-range shooting have really regressed this season. Improving spot up three point shooter, but might be fairly average in this aggregate, although mid-range and free throw shooting give hope. Not much of a passer, but does an excellent job of limiting turnovers, not surprising given his style of play.<br />
--Decent defender. Makes a ton of defensive plays with steals. Good frame for a NBA SG. Fair rebounder who has improved significantly here from freshman year. Might be a good tertiary scorer over time in the NBA, but lacks the passing and the ability to create offense for himself to take it up another level, but brings defensive attributes including stealing to the table, so somewhat underrated.<br />
<br />
Jordan Mickey<br />
--Extremely undersized center with a slightly subpar usage. Absolutely puts the blinders on, and a bit turnover prone in improvisation-based game (only 48.87% of shots assisted).<br />
--Effective inside-outside offensive center. Elite finisher at the rim off mere improvisation, given nondescript o-boarding, but really struggles to draw fouls given frequency. Good mid-range jumper as well, even with some off the dribble, and has a fair free throw percentage to corroborate this.<br />
--Awful body frame for an NBA center, nearly two positions down heightwise. Top notch defensive playmaker who accrues a ton of blocks without fouling, but very poor rebounder for a center (especially n defensive rebounding), and goes for blocks at the expense of rebounding and actual defense, where is merely just OK at best so far. Has a good groundwork of skills, as a good inside-outside offensive player with non fouling shotblocking reeks of absolute skills, but has concerns with extreme tunnel vision, really undersized stature, lack of rebounding, lack of foul drawing, and underwhelming defense, and the latter three illustrate toughness concerns.<br />
<br />
Jordan Bachynski<br />
--Subpar scoring center with a relatively low usage and a huge reliance for set ups but a good use of the offensive floor.<br />
--Just an OK finisher at best for his size, and really relies on set-ups to score at the rim, but he's top notch at drawing fouls here. Has developed a really good spot-up mid range shot (41%, 41% past two years) but there's a real grain of salt, given that he's an awful free throw shooter. An absolute black hole who looks only to score when he touches the ball, and for a player set-up so frequently he's very turnover prone.<br />
--Excellent build for an NBA big man. Poor defender. Poor rebounder especially for his size. Excellent defensive playmaker with a real knack for blocking shots, but the read is that he goes for every blocked shot and neglects the rebound and actual defense. Overall, he has what looks to be a budding inside-outside offensive game but it's marred with flaws with finishing, free throw shooting, no passing and turnovers, and his defensive fundamentals are in major, major need of work. There's potential on both ends but he needs to develop an effective niche that can be relied on for the NBA.<br />
<br />
Jordan Clarkson<br />
--High usage isolation-type scorer (only 33% of his shots are assisted) who handles and passes the rock one position up from his listed position, but has a good use of the offensive floor. Cut down his turnovers significantly with fewer isolation attempts.<br />
--Poor finisher off the dribble, but possesses a major knack for drawing fouls. Excellent pull-up jumper off the dribble (39, 40%) and improving three point shot, but probably on the average end and still takes too many off the dribble for percentages. Still, a good free throw shooter. Likely will rely on his jumpshooting ability and offensive IQ to manufacture points for self at the next level.<br />
--Awful defender. Very poor defensive playmaking ability with a major inability to accrue steals. Awful rebounder. Awful body frame for the NBA, given that he has a SF-style of game. Does have a lot of similarities to Marcus Thornton, however, and can rely on his jumpshooting-bred scoring.<br />
<br />
Jordan McRae<br />
--Jumpshooting-inclined scorer who really creates his own shots far more than the typical jumpshooter. Good use of the entire offensive floor, and a good finisher off the dribble who displays an ability to draw fouls.<br />
--Questionable overall body of work with jumpshooting. Much improved pull-up jumper but might still be very poor in the aggregate, and just an OK three point shooter but might be better off the dribble. Corroborated by just good-ish free throw shooting. Nondescript passer whose overall ballhandling work is one position up from his listed position.<br />
--Very poor defender. Just OK when it comes to defensive playmaking and rebounding, but long arms help with his shotblocking. Poor body frame if he is an NBA SF, and severely underweight. Overall, needs to find niche skills for the NBA: very questionable offensive decision-making who might be better at slashing than he is at shooting, but might lack the athleticism and handles to carry that through, and also not much of a defender.<br />
<br />
Josh Huestis<br />
--Awful scoring small forward with a super low usage rate, and in his rare tries scores through off-dribble work and improvisation. Excellent ballhandler who avoids turnovers despite improvisation.<br />
--Very poor use of the offensive floor who lives in the mid-range space, where he actually has an accurate pull-up jumper (40%, 38%, 40%). Improving long range shot, but the aggregate is still very poor (20, 28, 34%) and is also limited by small sample space. Overall jumper is questionable given very poor free throw shooting numbers. Average finisher at best who impacts his at-rim finishes through cuts and good offensive rebounding, but had his foul drawing evaporate the past year after pretty good rates the years prior.<br />
--Very good defender. Elite rebounder for size. Decent defensive playmaker, but has a huge knack for blocking shots with size. Good frame for NBA position, has no positional issues--plays bigger than his body on defense. Overall, an interesting player who can really rely on his all-around defense, and on offense has some offensive IQ and maybe a in-between shot. At worst, he's Thabo Sefolosha.<br />
<br />
Joshua Smith<br />
--Undersized, aggressively scoring center who commands a high usage rate and uses a mixture of set up shots and improvisations to score. Touches the ball to score, puts the blinders on.<br />
--Plays almost exclusively at the rim where he draws a ton of fouls, but needs to watch turnovers. Improved finisher who really scrounges for at-rim points through offensive rebounding, but might lack tip-in touch, as he is better finisher off set-ups, and in the aggregate, is a subpar finisher for his size. No range, between limited sample size, and recent percentages have regressed badly after a promising freshman season there, all corroborated by very poor free throw shooting.<br />
--Defense is around average. Pretty good defensive playmaker, but more impressive as a stealer than as a shotblocker. Good rebounder. Subpar body for a center. Really, really needs to watch weight. Might lack athleticism given inability to finish and block shots, and with only average defense and quite possibly a lack of an NBA scoring niche, compounded with his conditioning issues, he'll really have to rely on his hustling ability and hope it makes an impact.<br />
<br />
Julius Randle<br />
--Very high usage scoring machine of a power forward with incredible isolation ability (only 32.18% of shots assisted). Preferred perch is at-rim where he is a very good finisher mostly off improvisation and elite offensive rebounding. Moreover, absolutely insane knack for drawing fouls given usage. An absolute force to be reckoned with in the paint. Very turnover prone, and that is the best way to stop him around the basket.<br />
--Also takes over a third of his shots from mid-range but subpar (33.3%), although could round out to be OK given decent free throw percentages (73.3%).<br />
--Elite, top notch defender. Absolute rebounding machine extends to elite defensive rebounding ability. Good frame for a NBA PF. Leverages fouls extremely well. Only quibble is absolutely pathetic defensive playmaking ability, and nonexistent shotblocker. Has three elite attributes--all-around at-rim game, rebounding, and defense--which may make him a very souped up, athletic version of Zach Randolph, but might lack super upside given severe lack of defensive playmaking. His other weaknesses--mid-range game and turnovers are attributes that can improve with time.<br />
<br />
Justin Anderson<br />
--Best asset offensively is his excellent passing for his position. Middling scorer. Displays decent ability to use the floor, but struggles to score from everywhere.<br />
--Poor finisher despite being spoon-fed for baskets. Awful jumpshooter (30% 2's, 30% 3's) which sunk his team's offense as it comprised nearly two-thirds of his shots, but decent free throw percentages give hope. Horrible to watch in terms of personal offense.<br />
--Excellent defensive player. Racks up quite a few steals and blocks. Poor rebounder. Middling frame.<br />
<br />
Juvonte Reddic<br />
--Undersized center with decent scoring ability through a mix of set-ups and improvisations. Touches the ball only to score, doesn't pass. Has reduced turnovers significantly over the years.<br />
--Decent finisher with a mixture of set-ups and very good offensive rebounding, but doesn't draw fouls considering frequency of at-rim attempts. Has improved his jumper somewhat during his time in college, to the point where he shot 41% on mid-range jumpers and 71% from the line the past season. While he's better as a spot-up, the aggregate suggests he has a poor mid-range jumper with subpar free throw shooting.<br />
--Slightly above par defender. Pretty good defensive playmaker but far more impressive with his stealing ability than with shotblocking. OK rebounder at best who really struggles with defensive rebounding. Poor body frame for a NBA center. On offense has figments of an inside-outside game, but lacks the major nuances on both fronts that give either one sustenance, and on defense might lack a certain athleticism given inability to block shots and defensive board, so it's questionable whether he can develop a niche that can put his foot firmly into the NBA door.<br />
<br />
Kaleb Tarczewski<br />
--Low usage, awful scoring center with a poor use of the offensive floor but attempts to score more off the dribble than most centers.<br />
--Just an OK finisher for size even off spoon feeds, but draws fouls. Poor mid-range jumper off the dribble (31%) corroborated by poor free throw shooting, so might lack range. Very turnover prone.<br />
--Top notch frame for an NBA center, looks the part. Good rebounder. Just an OK defender. Awful defensive playmaking ability for someone his size, and not a shotblocker at all. Overall, does not appear to have an offensive niche, and might lack a certain athleticism between his lack of defensive playmaking and great finishing--it's questionable whether a good-rebounding NBA looking big man is enough at this stage.<br />
<br />
Kasey Hill<br />
--Incredibly low usage caretaker point guard. Plays an isolation style of game (34.06% of shots assisted) divvying up shots equally from at-rim, mid-range, and from long range, but only really proficient with his mid-range pull up (41.4%). Really looks to pass, but will force a few and accrue turnovers.<br />
--Awful finisher off the dribble, but does draw fouls. Jumper is very suspect, between very subpar long ball which he still takes a lot of, and subpar free throw shooting.<br />
--Pretty good defender. Good defensive playmaker. Just an OK frame for a NBA PG. Awful rebounder. Lacks NBA upside due to lack of PG responsibility, athleticism (rebounding/finishing) and very suspect jumper, and likely should try to firm up the defense at this stage.<br />
<br />
Keith Appling<br />
--Position-less. Lacks the playmaking ability of an NBA PG, but also lacks the scoring ability of a NBA SG. By default an undersized shooting guard.<br />
--Uses the entire floor offensively, but has had turnover problems. Also has had a subpar jumper, both in pull-ups and threes throughout his career. Particularly atrocious when has to take threes off the dribble. More of a slasher the past several years, and improved finisher at the rim with an ability to draw fouls.<br />
--Average defender. Pathetic rebounder. Subpar defensive playmaker. Needs to be crossmatched. Mostly a slasher in the NBA, but he likely doesn't have enough positive attributes to stick.<br />
<br />
Kendall Williams<br />
--Cerebral point guard with excellent court vision for his size. Plays a spot-up style of game, and also lacks the scoring ability and the dynamics to handle the offense for a prolonged period of time to be a starting PG in the NBA.<br />
--Middling scorer with an excellent ability to use the floor for offense. Average at best finisher off passes, but draws fouls very well. Poor accuracy in mid-range pullups. Decent three point shot, but takes many of them off the dribble. Middling free throw shooter. Has some touch, but likely is just a slightly above average shooter.<br />
--Good defender, but not a defensive playmaker. Poor rebounder despite size. Top notch frame for his position. Could be a capable backup PG hanging with his defense, but lacks athleticism on offense and should refine his shooting to take advantage of his passing.<br />
<br />
Kevin Pangos<br />
--Cerebral PG who plays a efficient spot-up jumpshooting style of game, gets others involved and draws fouls well given the high frequency of jumpers. Excellent shooter, even off the dribble (40%, 42%) further confirmed by excellent free throw shooting, and has a workable pull-up (38%, 37%).<br />
--Has both subpar penetration and finishing ability. Lacks the usage rate and ability to penetrate into the heart of the defense to be a starting PG in the NBA.<br />
--Absolutely anemic as a defensive playmaker and rebounder, but an average defender, although this might be due to the lower level of competition. Follows a long line of Gonzaga PGs like Blake Stepp and Derek Raivio who have very similar offensive/defensive profiles to what he has, and end up being better college than NBA players.<br />
<br />
Khem Birch<br />
--Low usage, undersized center with a subpar scoring rate who prefers a spot-up inclined style. Absolute zero passing ability and has the general ball skills of a center.<br />
--Offense regressed this season. Both mid-ranger and at-rim finishing plummeted this season. Might have little to no jumper to speak of, with poor free throw percentages and an awful (30%) spot-up inclined aggregate. Just a decent finisher in the aggregate, but poor for his size this year, and seems to finish better off improvisation, via top notch offensive rebounding ability. Does draw fouls fairly well given frequency.<br />
--Money is made with defense. Top ten defender in college, but subpar build for an NBA center who needs to add weight. Absolute monster defensive playmaker, near the top ten in NCAAs in blocking shots. Very good rebounder who is also a pretty good defensive rebounder, but contests offensive boards better. Limits fouls well given defensive playmaking. Has all the principles of defense down--the actual defense, shotblocking, and the ability to limit fouls, but undersized build and lack of general inside-outside offense and ball skills hurt significantly. A one-way player, but that one-way is top notch.<br />
<br />
KJ McDaniels<br />
--Decent scoring forward who has a decidedly isolation style of game (only 47.8% of his shots are assisted, and 37.78% the year prior) and very good ballhandling ability, but puts the blinders on and won't pass the ball.<br />
--Very good finisher with a knack for offensive rebounding and tipping in shots very accurately, but not the best at drawing fouls given frequency of at-rim attempts. Absolutely horrid pull-up mid-range game (19%, 20%) but questionable three point accuracy (30, 34%), and both jumper forms are corroborated by subpar free throw shooting. Subpar use of the offensive floor.<br />
--Good defender. Insane defensive playmaker with a very high rate for shotblocking for size, but also a few steals. OK rebounder at best for size. A tweener between both forward positions, and his overall ball skills suggest that he operates best as a face-up power forward, in which case he has an awful frame for his size. Even as a face-up PF, he might lack the jumpshooting ability to fulfill that role. A major athlete however who can finish and defend, and hustles in terms of defensive playmaking and offensive rebounding, which can get him a major role as a Alonzo Gee type, but might find it better to shrink his game to his strengths and be more fulfilling as a Jerome Williams type.<br />
<br />
Kris Dunn<br />
--Caretaker point guard with one of the worst usage and scoring rates in all of college basketball, and a preferred spot-up game for position.<br />
--Highly inclined at-rim basis for scoring, but awful finisher who relies on set ups, even if he does a very good job of drawing fouls. Subpar mid-range pull-up (33%), and lacks range, all corroborated by subpar free throw shooting--might lack overall range. Overall very poor use of the offensive floor. Plays offense mostly to pass the ball, but even so, extremely turnover prone and will force passes just to avoid shooting.<br />
--Very good defender. Elite rebounder for size. Just an OK defensive playmaker. Excellent frame to defend point guards. If he is to make as a meat-and-potatoes defender, he has to really make sure he's not hemorrhaging on the offensive side of the ball, since that looks hopeless.<br />
<br />
Kyle Anderson<br />
--Best asset offensively is his excellent passing for his position, and really passes the rock like a point guard even under a decent usage rate. Just an OK scorer at best.<br />
--Poor finisher especially for size, and better off set-ups on this end. Reduced at-rim attempts this season but improved foul drawing. Significantly improved mid-range pull up from last year, but it might be just decent in the aggregate so far, corroborated by decent free throw percentage gives hope. Far improved three point shooting, but limited sample, although there is some hope of improving it given average mid-range aggregate.<br />
--Top notch defender. Piles up many steals and blocks. Insane rebounder at the small forward position, especially at the defensive glass. Very good frame for position. Improving offense, even with finishing and long range concerns, might project him to be like an Evan Turner type, relying on defense and PG skills above other qualities.<br />
<br />
Kyle Wiltjer<br />
--Aggressively spot-up scoring jumpshooter who just does an OK job of using the entire floor.<br />
--No at-rim game. Just an OK mid-range shooter who has tried to add a pull-up game, but still takes too many given that he's a very good spot-up three point shooter, corroborated by very good free throw percentages.<br />
--Very poor defender verging on awful. Absolutely anemic as a defensive playmaker and rebounder. Has a good frame for a PF, but completely lacks athleticism for the NBA and will absolutely need to be hidden on this end. Needs to cut down his mid-range jumpers for threes to stand any sort of chance.<br />
<br />
Lamar Patterson<br />
--Spot-up inclined small forward who is just an OK scorer, but has increased his usage rate exponentially over the past several years. Excellent passer on position, and has even limited turnovers more with greater usage. Good finisher off preferred spoon feeds, and decent job drawing fouls.<br />
--Has developed a good mid-range shot, even a pull-up this season, over the past several years. A decent three point shooter in the aggregate, but has been very streaky seasonally, and slight grain of salt given slightly subpar free throw percentage. Should at least have a decent jumper at the next level.<br />
--Subpar build for an NBA SF, lacking a few inches, but has strength. OK defender at best. Just a reasonable defensive playmaker. Decent rebounder. Good complementary NBA player on offense who can move score off set up shots inside and out fairly well, and in particular pass, but lacks a standout trait defensively and will probably just be OK, which is fine given the offense.<br />
<br />
LaQuinton Ross<br />
--Extremely high usage scorer who aggressively plays both a spot-up and off-dribble game. Has shown the ability to score everywhere on the court. Good finisher both set up and off the dribble. Very good jumpshooting foundation, both in pull-up mid range J's (37%) and spot-up threes (40%), corroborated with good free throw shooting.<br />
--Subpar use of the floor, and doesn't draw too many fouls given his frequency of at-rim attacks. Blind as a bat and doesn't understand the term "passing", and also quite turnover prone as a scorer.<br />
--Poor defender. Awful defensive playmaker and rebounder for size. Has a selfish me-first scoring game that will irritate coaches as he contributes little in defense, passing, and has to watch for turnovers, but natural all-around scoring talent, kind of in the Nick Young mold.<br />
<br />
Marcus Lee<br />
--Classic low usage, high efficiency scorer at the rim off a combination of set ups and very good offensive rebounding. Does an incredible job of limiting turnovers for style of game, but absolutely not a passer. Top notch finisher, but just OK at best at foul drawing given frequency.<br />
--Very limited sample space on mid-range jumpers, but has been good so far, although very poor free throw percentage dictates that his jumper is likely on the poor side.<br />
--Top notch defender. Elite shotblocker who so far has leveraged fouls well. Very good base for a NBA PF, but severely underweight. Awful defensive rebounder that would be put him among the worst in his position. So far he's defending very well going for blocks, but the lack of rebounding is going to hurt him in the long run. Still, an excellent, very active scorer at the rim with excellent shotblocking and defense and an NBA frame is highly appealing, although the lack of jumper, ability to create and defensive rebounding are limitations that might make him a role player at the end.<br />
<br />
Marcus Paige<br />
--Caretaker PG who lacks the usage rate, ability to use the entire floor, and scoring ability of a starting PG in the NBA. Doesn't bring much to the table.<br />
--Awful finisher at the rim. Poor jumper (34% 2's, 34% 3's) but excellent free throw shooting gives something to build off of.<br />
--Underwhelming defender, compounded by poor defensive playmaking and rebounding metrics. Extremely underweight.<br />
<br />
Marcus Smart<br />
--Dynamic shooting guard who possesses the top-notch usage rate, ability to utilize the entire floor, and isolation skills (only 35.75% of his shots are assisted) of a lead guard in the NBA.<br />
--Decent finisher, but real advantage lies in his excellent foul-drawing ability. Takes too many mid-range and three point jumpers off the dribble for his percentages (35% 2's, 29% 3's), but good free throw percentage gives hope. His slashing ability is the better option in the NBA. Has passing ability for a SG, but has to beware of turnovers.<br />
--Defensive monster. Insane stealer but also an excellent shotblocker for his size. Top notch rebounder. Decent frame. Two-way star potential. Has the potential to be a Dwyane Wade type in the NBA.<br />
<br />
Markel Brown<br />
--Undersized shooting guard with an average usage and scoring rate, through a mixture of set ups and isolations. Nondescript passer, not a combo guard. Has done a far better job of controlling turnovers the past two years for style of game.<br />
--Decent finisher off spoon feeds, and pretty good job of drawing fouls. Decent mid-range jumper off a mix of spot and pull ups. Subpar three point shooter, many of which he takes off the dribble. A decent free throw shooter, so jumper could just be OK, but there are definite long range concerns.<br />
--Slightly subpar build for a SG. Slightly above average defender. Decent rebounder for size. Just a decent defensive playmaker at best, anemic at getting steals but surprisingly adept at blocking shots for size. He's almost the very definition of a jack of all trades, master of none type--he's decent but not great or awful in many categories, but lacks a major asset he can hang his hat on. In particular, lack of major passing at his height, questionable long ball and very low steal rate reminds a bit like a Shannon Brown, or a Willie Green.<br />
<br />
Mike Moser<br />
--Awful scoring, jumpshooting-inclined power forward who needs to be set up to score, but subpar offensive floor game. Unselfish, but needs to watch turnovers, because very turnover-prone for a spot up.<br />
--Very poor jumpshooting canvas (26, 35% this year, 27%, 34% last year from 2's and 3's respectively) and severely regressed this year, but good free throw shooting numbers give hope. Decent finisher off set ups and improvisation, but really struggles to draw fouls given frequency of at-rim attempts.<br />
-Good defender with an OK body for a NBA power forward, minus a few inches. Just a decent defensive playmaker better at stealing than at blocking shots. Decent rebounder who really clears the defensive glass. Has really struggled to find a niche on offense, and has to hope his decent all-around defensive attributes will amount to something.<br />
<br />
Mitch McGary<br />
--Middling-scoring center who is a good finisher at-rim with a mixture of set ups and improvisation in the form of very good offensive rebounding. Absolutely atrocious use of the offensive floor however, really struggles to draw fouls despite playing at the rim so frequently.<br />
--Can hit spot-up mid-range jumpers (39%) but a huge grain of salt, given that he's absolutely pathetic as a foul shooter (44%). Center-like handles.<br />
--Excellent defender, but just an OK frame. Excellent defensive playmaker; not a good shotblocker for size, but super quick hands get a ton of steals. Excellent rebounder. There are really quite a few questions offensively, particularly since he might lack the athleticism to draw fouls and the shooting might be unsustainable given the foul shooting. The defense is very active on many fronts but could suffer with a lack of athleticism and just an OK frame.<br />
<br />
Mike Tobey<br />
--Center who aggressively puts himself in set-up positions, primarily from the mid-range, that allow him to score. Won't pass, but set-up game really allows him to limit turnovers.<br />
--Excellent mid-range shooter who can be a very useful option in the pick-and-pop, and corroborated by really good free throw shooting for size. Good finisher at the rim off set ups, but absolutely pathetic for size in drawing fouls.<br />
--Decent defender with a good frame for position. Very poor defensive playmaker for size who doesn't have a knack for blocking shots. Awful rebounder. Overall, however, might have peaked in terms of skill--can benefit by adding three point range, but has severe athletic deficits that manifest themselves in an inability to draw fouls, rebound, or defensive playmake. His method of mid-range scoring is similar to what Tyler Zeller does right now.<br />
<br />
Montrezl Harrell<br />
--Really undersized center with a low usage and a subpar scoring rate. Primarily plays an at-rim game and relies on set-up shots to score. Never passes, but doesn't turn the ball over either. Very awful offensive floor game.<br />
--Good finisher at the rim through set-ups and decent offensive rebounding, but struggles to draw fouls given frequency of at-rim attempts. No range (26%) and corroborated with awful free throw shooting.<br />
--Excellent defender. Just a decent defensive playmaker with a few steals and a few blocks, but nothing spectacular. Decent rebounder, but very questionable defensive rebounding rate. Very poor body frame for an NBA center. Can make it as a defender, but might lack a certain athleticism (poor free throw rate, just OK shotblocking) and the defensive rebounding chops to assist that further, and really undersized for his position. Furthermore, has to make sure that covers up for his severe limitations on offense.<br />
<br />
Nick Johnson<br />
--Decent scoring, undersized SG who has found a major boon in efficiency this season playing a major spot-up role. Passes far less, but also limits turnovers more.<br />
--Very good finisher who is putting up absolutely insane at-rim percentages early on receiving spoon-feeds, and also good at drawing fouls. With a more inclined spot-up sample, has also improved his mid-range shot after two seasons of awful mid-range pullup percentages, but probably just OK in the aggregate. Pretty good three point shooter, and has become a very reliable one the past few seasons. Just a an OK free throw shooter, so not a super reliable shooter, but has a reasonable, decent foundation in his jumper overall. Uses entire offensive floor.<br />
--Poor frame for an NBA SG, just very undersized. Good defender. Just a reasonable defensive playmaker more notable for blocks than steals. Bad rebounder. Definitely needs to be crossmatched, but has the root spot-up skills from all-around, as well as the meat and potatoes defense, to be a match with taller NBA PGs who can pass, so can find a definite niche in the NBA.<br />
<br />
Nik Stauskas<br />
--Inclined spot-up, long range shooter who is an excellent at it, and can even hit them off the dribble, corroborated by very good free throw shooting. Really improved his scoring chops in his second year.<br />
--Has more dimensions than just a long range specialist. Does a good job of drawing fouls given frequency of jumpers and considering that he rarely penetrates, with insane foul drawing rates in his sophomore year. Does finish well in rare at-rim ventures. Improved pull-up jumper. Also, can almost play point at a pinch, because he really limits turnovers. Good passer, but not a full-out playmaker.<br />
--Atrocious defender. Absolutely nonexistent defensive playmaker. Pathetic rebounder. OK body for position. Absolutely needs to be hidden on this end. Completely lacks the athleticism on the defensive end, but has really maximized his skills on offense, with foul drawing, pull-ups, good passing and ballhandling to complement a very good long range jumper. Reeks a bit of Kyle Korver on offense, and has to make sure that covers for his lack of defense.<br />
<br />
Noah Vonleh<br />
--Undersized center who is an absolutely scoring machine off isolation and improvisation (only 43.8% of his shots are assisted). Plays primarily at the rim and is an awful finisher for his size, but excellent offensive rebounder for size and is has a stratospheric foul drawing rate. Turnover prone. Doesn't pass. A bundle of activity at the rim with great athletic traits magnified by usage, but unrefined with awful finishing and turnovers.<br />
--Rarely takes jumpers or displays any sort of range, but there is hope given a large sample size of OK free throw percentages, and is shooting 50% on mid-range J's on minimal attempts.<br />
--Just an awful body frame that is two positions down from what is height would suggest. Simply not a forward between the lack of handles and range. Still, an absolute defensive machismo which would have ranked first last year at his current rate. Elite defensive rebounder even with lack of size that would compete with the top of the top of NCAA players. Good defensive playmaker, but better stealer than he is shotblocker. Could stand to control fouls. Overall, an undersized center who is unrefined offensively inside and lacks range currently outside but an incredible hustle player and draws a ton of fouls, and defends extremely hard and clears the defensive boards. A bit Charles Barkley-esque in getup.<br />
<br />
Olivier Hanlan<br />
--Dynamic shooting guard who has the usage rate, ability to utilize the entire floor, and isolation skills (only 35.6% of his shots are assisted) of a lead guard in the NBA.<br />
--Excellent jumpshooter, both in pull ups and spot up threes (46% 2s, 41% 3s) but only has a decent free throw percentage. Can get to the rim and draw fouls, but subpar finisher. Not a point guard, despite the belief of many NBA teams.<br />
--Absolutely atrocious defender with zero defensive playmaking attributes. Subpar rebounder. Good frame for position. Incredibly developed personal offense with NBA starter potential, but needs to make sure he's not hemorrhaging a lot of it at the other end of the court.<br />
<br />
Quinn Cook<br />
--Cerebral point guard with an ability to create for both himself and for others, but lacks the defense, scoring punch and the dynamics to take offensive responsibility for a prolonged time period to be a starting NBA PG. Excellent ballhandler.<br />
--Middling scorer with just decent ability to spread the floor, and has an evaporating free throw rate. Good finisher at the rim. Much improved three point shooter, but completely lost what was an excellent pull-up jumper from last year. Excellent free throw shooter.<br />
--Poor defender, with very underwhelming defensive playmaking. Decent rebounder. Good frame. Combination of shooting, ability to finish, and passing in a reduced usage should help him carve out a place as a backup point guard. Better college than NBA player.<br />
<br />
Patric Young<br />
--Low usage, subpar scoring center who scores through a mixture of set ups and improvisations, and relies on efficiency over elusiveness.<br />
--Excellent finisher at the rim, and while better at set-ups, has good touch even on his frequent offensive rebounding attempts, but struggles to draw fouls given at-rim frequency. Really good mid-range jumper which is far better in spot-situations (36, 41, 47%) which is surprising given very poor free throw numbers that are declining rapidly every season, so there is a definite grain of salt there.<br />
--Good defender with poor frame for an NBA center. Good defensive playmaker with decent but not super stealing and shotblocking numbers. Poor rebounder for size, really needs to watch his defensive rebounding. Has really interesting raw offensive inside-outside numbers coupled with good defense, so there's two-way potential, but concerns in all three elements (inability to draw fouls, free throw shooting, rebounding), but should amount to an interesting role player at the least.<br />
<br />
Patrick Heckmann<br />
--Slightly subpar spot-up scoring small forward who has re-worked his game into a three point specialist to great effect. Has subtleties in finishing and drawing fouls that other specialists lack, and also has drastically reduced his turnovers in a spot-up role. Good but not a great free throw shooter if he's operating as a specialist.<br />
--Elite use of the offensive floor. Decent finisher who is far better when set-up but can score at-rim both ways, and displays an excellent knack for drawing fouls given frequency of at-rim attempts. Non-existent mid-range game. Very good three point shooter (38, 39%) who might be equally adept off the dribble as he is spotting up.<br />
--Among the worst defenders in college basketball. Poor defensive playmaker and rebounder, and just an OK body for NBA position. There is a lot of interesting quirks as a three point specialist that he will be given a legitimate chance, but has to make sure he's not hemorrhaging on the other end of the court.<br />
<br />
Perry Ellis<br />
--Decent scoring small forward with a very poor offensive floor game. Not a passer, but limits turnovers.<br />
--Specialty is mid-range jumper (43%), but it might be decent rather than good given just OK free throw shooting. Awful finisher for size through a mixture of set ups and good offensive rebounding, and does just an OK job of drawing fouls. Lacks range.<br />
--Top notch defender with a very good body frame for a NBA small forward. Very poor defensive playmaker. Top notch rebounder on both ends of the floor. Clearly more of a strength than an athletic player, as his rebounding and defense are far superior to his finishing and defensive playmaking. Will likely be a defense-first player with rebounding hustle, with a mid-range jumper, but might be lack key niche offensive attributes to impact that area further.<br />
<br />
P.J. Hairston<br />
--Aggressively scoring spot up long range shooter who might be more streaky than good (27% 3's last year compared to 40% this year), but does hit free throws well. Over three-fifths of his shots come from distance, but draws fouls well given the high frequency of jumpers.<br />
--No mid-range game. Mediocre finisher at the rim. Not a passer, but minimizes turnovers, not surprising given his shooter rep.<br />
--Decent defender with decent rebounding ability, but not much of a defensive playmaker. Good frame for a shooting guard. Has a basic framework of a 3's/D rep, but might lack elite attributes in both of them to really find a footing in that area.<br />
<br />
Prince Ibeh<br />
--Excellent defensive playmaking center with a great shotblocking base, but they are far superior to his just decent defense. Decent frame. OK rebounder for his position, but really lacking in defensive rebounding.<br />
--Extremely low usage center who really, really struggles to score. Virtually plays only at the rim and is only a decent finisher for his size, but does draw a ton of fouls and is a major offensive rebounder. Absolutely no range, and an incredibly awful foul shooter.<br />
--Historic levels of awful in passing futility--had only one assist in 34 games, and a turnover waiting to happen. Incredibly unskilled on offense, and even on defense he's more sizzle than steak. Has a ways to learn.<br />
<br />
Przemek Karnowski<br />
--Very high usage, high scoring center with an isolation-preferred style compared to other centers. Absolute black hole who never passes when he touches the ball.<br />
--Top notch finisher off set ups, but also has a great knack for offensive rebounding, although not a super foul drawer given frequency of at-rim attempts. Loves to take off-the-dribble mid-range jumpers, but questionable accuracy (34%) further confirmed by positively awful free throw shooting.<br />
--Decent defender with an elite frame for an NBA center, but really has to watch weight. Extremely awful as a defensive playmaker especially for size, but an incredible inability to block shots. Just an OK rebounder at best for size, but quite deficient as a defensive rebounder. More or less a space-eater who can finish at the rim and looks the part, but has major questions on the defensive end and might be a bit like a Kyrylo Fesenko.<br />
<br />
Rasheed Sulaimon<br />
--Shooting guard with middling scoring ability. Excellent ballhandler who mixes up set ups with isolations, but not a passer.<br />
--Good use of the offensive floor. Has a decent jumper (37% on pull-ups, 37% spot-up threes), corroborated by very good free throw percentages. Subpar finisher despite being spoon-fed, but can draw fouls.<br />
--Poor defender. Absolutely nonexistent defensive playmaker with poor rebounding ability. Decent frame. Lacks the penetration ability and defense to be a NBA starter, but a sound jumpshooter with good offensive IQ and ballhandling ability.<br />
<br />
RJ Hunter<br />
--High usage scorer of a shooting guard who accrues his points in spot-up fashion. Completely limits turnovers with spot-up style, but not a passer whatsoever.<br />
--Takes over half of his shots as threes, with good but not elite percentages (38%), but is better with set-up shots, and corroborated by good free throw numbers. Rarely penetrates, but has good finishing numbers off inclined set-ups in rare attempts. Decent foul drawer given rare at-rim frequency. Infrequent mid-range game, but again, decent percentages off a mixture of spot-ups and isos here. <br />
--Very good build for a NBA SG. Excellent defensive playmaker who is an absolute ball-thief, but also a top notch shotblocker by size. Pretty good defensive rebounder, but just a decent overall rebounder. His ability to accrue defensive stats on all areas belies what is just OK defense, so more sizzle than steak. But has all the ingredients to be a major defensive player in the NBA, and combined with his three point shooting, he might be a reasonable facsimile of Danny Green.<br />
<br />
Robert Carter<br />
--Spot-up jumpshooting power forward who is a slightly subpar scorer, and lives in a spot-up mid-range space with great accuracy (46%). With spot-up role, not a passer.<br />
--Awful finisher for size even off set ups, and really struggles to draw fouls given frequency. Also takes a few spot-up threes but really struggles to hit, and overall jumper and range, despite mid-range accuracy, is questionable given subpar free throw shooting.<br />
--Excellent defender. Top notch rebounder especially for size, especially on defensive glass. Just a decent defensive playmaker with a few blocks. Just an OK frame for the NBA, might have to watch weight. Strikes as a slightly undersized, groundbound big who might have some spot-up potential with rebounding and defensive instincts, but will have to rely on the defensive work given the offense might be iffy. Still, a player with interesting possibilities.<br />
<br />
Rodney Hood<br />
--Decent scoring small forward with excellent ballhandling and shot-creating ability (only 41.09% of shots assisted). Well preferred jumpshooter (80-90% of shots are jumpers). Decent passer who really minimizes turnovers for levels of isolation, and broke away from passivity in Mississippi State.<br />
--Excellent three point shooter who might be even better off the dribble, with well improved free throw shooting even if it might be average in the aggregate. Also has a pet elite mid-range pull-up (46.9%, 45.8%) that he really hits. Really good at hitting jumpers off the dribble. Good finisher off the dribble who draws fouls, but never penetrated or drew fouls back at MSU. <br />
--Excellent build for position but can use strength. Decent rebounder at best. Flat-out awful defender. Completely non existent at defensive playmaking, with extremely poor ability to accrue steals, and puts lack of fouling in a bad light. A shot-creating off-the-dribble jumpshooting scorer with some passing ability and a good frame, but severely lacks defensive punch.<br />
<br />
Ron Baker<br />
--Low-usage shooting guard with middling scoring ability. Very unselfish and has combo-guard levels of passing ability, while limiting turnovers. Has expanded his role into a mix of set-ups and isolations.<br />
--In two seasons, about two-thirds of his attempts on average have come from long distance, but just a decent three point shooter, although he takes many of them off the dribble particularly this season. Has very good free throw percentages so taking more spot-ups can normalize his long range shooting. Rarely plays at-rim, but awful finisher, albeit has improved somewhat finishing off the dribble, and surprisingly excellent at drawing fouls given infrequency. No mid-range game, but percentages have been very good off pull-ups in small samples.<br />
--Decent defender, but slightly subpar build from a NBA SG. Just an OK defensive playmaker, but surprisingly able as a shotblocker. Poor rebounder who is below average at corralling defensive caroms. Competes on this end, but doesn't really have the tools. Overall, a "theoretical" shooter with intrinsic offensive smarts, such as combo guard passing and an ability to draw fouls, and a competitive defender but lacks physical tools on both ends, which hinders the upside.<br />
<br />
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson<br />
--Subpar scorer. Excellent passer for position, and limits turnovers extremely well.<br />
--Excellent finisher at the rim, off improvisation but really helped by his elite offensive rebounding, and good foul-drawer. Might not have a jumper: low 60s in free throw shooting, and chucks up nearly half his shots as inclined spot-up mid-range J's that are in the low 30s. No further range.<br />
--Just an OK build for a NBA SF, may be an inch short. Excellent defender. Excellent rebounder, but fairly average on the defensive rebounds and has a lot more zest on o-boards. Decent defensive playmaker through a combination of steals and blocks. Despite passing, might find himself better as a very undersized PF, in the mold of Draymond Green due to the huge jumper concerns. Can put defense first and scrap for at-rim points, but currently lacks the weight for it.<br />
<br />
Roscoe Smith<br />
--Extremely undersized center with very low usage and scoring rates, who relies mostly on set up shots . Might very rarely score in the NBA. Not really turnover prone, but absolutely puts the blinders on and doesn't pass for role.<br />
--Uses low usage to progressively take more shots at the rim, where he is a good finisher off a combination of set ups and offensive rebounds, but doesn't draw fouls that well given frequency of attacks. Awful three point shooter who virtually does not take them anymore. Awful mid-range spot up shooter in the aggregate who is hitting them well this year, and a sliver of a chance here given OK aggregate free throw shooting. Might simply not have a jumper at the next level, given track record.<br />
--Has one of the worst builds of all the NCAA, if he is to be an NBA center, severely lacking in both height and weight. Decent rebounder for position, but excellent particularly for size. Underwhelming on both the offensive and defensive glass in previous two seasons, but excellent on both ends of the glass this year, but in the aggregate decent. Subpar overall defender, with very underwhelming defensive playmaking rates that are going down every year, with very poor stealing and shotblocking rates. The profile suggests an undersized center who can finish at the rim and rebound decently, but two positions down tweener status, inability to score, no jumper, inability to draw fouls that well, subpar defense, and very underwhelming defensive playmaking are major questions--not NBA material.<br />
<br />
Russ Smith<br />
--Undersized scoring shooting guard who utilizes a stratospherically high usage with a mixture of spot-ups and isolations, but woefully inefficient. Decidedly a shooting guard, not even combo point levels of passing with his usage.<br />
--Improved finisher off a mixture of cuts and off-dribble work, as well as an improved knack for drawing fouls, but both areas appear to be quite poor in the aggregate. Awful pull-up jumper (14, 27, 30%) and a very poor three point shot (30, 30, 34%), corroborated with just OK free throw shooting. Finishing is improving the fastest, but still very questionable, and at 160 lbs might really be a damper on that front. Overall, has a subpar use of the offensive floor, and lacks an offensive niche for the NBA, lacking a jumper and being a major tweener.<br />
--Excellent to near top notch defender. Elite defensive playmaker for position with lightning fast hands, but awful rebounder. Extremely awful body frame as an NBA SG (one of the worst by NCAA standards), however. Needs to be crossmatched. Might seriously lack an offensive niche in the NBA, but if he re-focuses on his elite defensive attributes he might find a home in an NBA team where he can play alongside a bigger point guard.<br />
<br />
Sam Dekker<br />
--Spot-up scorer who is an inclined three point shooter, but makes very good use of the entire floor, in the sense he doesn't take mid-range jumpers. Good base for jumpshooting (38% 2's, 38% 3's) but a subpar free throw shooter, so a bit of a grain of salt.<br />
--For an alleged shooter, frequently gets to the rim and is an excellent finisher (71%) off passes. Limits turnovers, not surprising given his spot up style of game.<br />
--Very good defender with a good frame for the NBA. Nondescript defensive playmaker. Good rebounder for his size. Reminds of a young Mike Miller.<br />
<br />
Sean Kilpatrick<br />
--Spot-up scoring shooting guard who is an inclined three point shooter, but draws fouls well given the high frequency of jumpers.<br />
--Rapidly declining at-rim presence who rarely gets to the rim anymore, with average finishing ability at best. OK mid-ranger at best. Streaky spot-up three point shooter who tends more toward subpar, and is further corroborated by middling free throw percentages. Desires to be a three point shooter, but ultimately does not look to have a specialty in offense. Limits turnovers with spot-up nature, but not a passer.<br />
--Very good defensive player, with a good frame for the position. Poor defensive playmaker. Decent rebounder. However, between the lack of at rim and defensive playmaking metrics, might lack the athleticism to really succeed defensively in the NBA, and needs to fine-tune his three point shot.<br />
<br />
Semaj Christon<br />
--Dynamic shooting guard who possesses the top notch usage rate and isolation skills (21.19% of shots assisted) to be a lead guard in the NBA.<br />
--Incredibly aggressive slasher to the rim off the dribble. Awful finisher, but draws a ton of fouls. Also loves to pull up and hits mid-range jumpers at a good pace (39%), but has questionable sustenance based on his poor free throw percentage. Lacks range and has very poor ability to use the entire floor. Needs teams to stop believing in the illusion that he's a point guard, as he has combo SG-like passing ability, and has to beware of turnovers.<br />
--Subpar defender. Very poor at defensive playmaking. Awful rebounder. Has little nose for the ball. Needs to be crossmatched. Immense athleticism and continuous ability to create shots for himself at the rim gives a lot of unique potential, but at the same time has the style of game that fits Rucker Park, with no defense and one-on-one scoring on top of his lack of range.<br />
<br />
Shabazz Napier<br />
--Pure point guard who plays a spot-up scoring style which has helped with his efficiency.<br />
--Middling scorer who displays excellent ability to use the whole floor. Very poor finisher off his own dribble, but has become decent with more set ups and draws fouls very well. Average pull-up jumper at best. Appears to be an average three point shooter, but has taken many off the dribble throughout his college career, and once again appears to be decent off the catch. Good free throw shooter.<br />
--Poor defender and rebounder. Average defensive playmaker. Decent frame. Lacks the finishing ability, ability to create and defense to be a starting NBA PG, and his best bet is to calm himself into a spot-up scoring style with passing to be a decent backup.<br />
<br />
Shannon Scott<br />
--Caretaker point guard has the worst scoring rate of all of college basketball. Has the double whammy of a submarine-low usage rate, even for caretaker point guard standards, but also massive inefficiency in personal offense. No hope for offense--also has an awful use of the offensive floor, and no offensive niche.<br />
--Extremely awful finisher off the dribble who has improved his foul drawing, but still might be poor in that aspect. Awful mid-range game (30%, 30%) and a very awful three point shooter in the aggregate who might lack range given limited attempts. Awful jumper is corroborated by absolutely awful free throw shooting. Always looks to pass just to avoid scoring, but will force passes and get turnovers.<br />
--Excellent defender. Makes defensive plays, and in fact has super fast hands for steals, and good rebounder for size. Very good frame for the point guard, but could stand to add weight. Overall, there's no hope for offense and will absolutely need to be hidden, but there might be Anthony Carter type potential here.<br />
<br />
Spencer Dinwiddie<br />
--Excellent offensive shooting guard with good isolation skills (34.83% shots assisted) who possesses an incredible ability to utilize the entire floor. Subpar in finishing at the rim off drives, but insane foul drawing ability and capitalizes with excellent free throw shooting. Has developed a better pull-up jumper this season. --Decent three point shooter, but clearly more effective with spot-up threes which he took way more of last year. Has a combination of a good scoring and shooting for the NBA, but the happy medium is probably creating while inside the three point line and spotting up outside of it. Excellent ballhandler, but not really a creator for teammates despite the usage.<br />
--Average defender at best. Underwhelming at making defensive plays. Pathetic rebounder for his size. Excellent frame for his position, looks the part of the NBA SG. Seems to play at his own speed and between the inability to finish and the defense, might lack the athleticism to be fully effective in the NBA, but he can work around that. Reminds somewhat of Jamal Crawford.<br />
<br />
Terran Petteway<br />
--Undersized face-up power forward with a decent scoring rate, really increasing usage rate from past year. Not a passer. Struggles with turnovers, with reduced them with the higher usage this year.<br />
--Appears far better playing an isolation game than the spot-up style in Texas Tech. Really increased frequency of at-rim attempts this year between set-ups and slashes, but just an OK finisher with just decent foul drawing ability. Appears to have a decent mid-range and three point-shot in the aggregate, but both have been far better off the dribble this year, with 39% in both areas this season mostly off improvisation so far. However, aggregate subpar free throw shooting is a concern, although he drastically improved percentages this year. Might be a decent off-the-dribble jumpshooter overall, but not great.<br />
--One of the worst defenders in the NCAA. Poor build for a NBA PF, both height and weight-wise. Poor rebounder for position. Nonexistent defensive playmaker severely lacking in stealing, and foul prone. Appears to have some scoring-minded jumpshooting chops, but brings little in way in passing to the point of tweener status, isn't a great jumpshooter, has questionable at-rim efficacy, and the defense is a severe minus in a broad-based platform.<br />
<br />
Thanasis Antetokounmpo<br />
--Undersized, low usage power forward with a subpar scoring rate. Unselfifsh, but turnover machine even with low usage game. Absolutely no handles.<br />
--Splits offense mostly equally between at-rim attacks and threes. No mid range game. Average finisher at best who does just an OK job at drawing fouls given attack frequency. Awful three point shooter who prefers them from the right wings and corners of the court, corroborated by subpar free throw shooting. Might not have a jumper for the NBA.<br />
--Awful defender at the D-League level. Poor rebounder for size. Subpar build for NBA PF position--absolute tweener lacking height and weight. Good defensive playmaker who racks up a combination of steals and blocks, but lacks the nuances of actual defense. Is really limited on four fronts majorly--appears to have zero handles and zero jumper, has tweener status, and his broad-based defense is severely lacking. Even at-rim game is just OK, and is just lacking majorly for the NBA.<br />
<br />
<br />
TJ Warren<br />
--Scoring-minded, high-usage power forward who majorly puts the blinders on, but limits turnovers extremely well with style of game. With higher usage this season, grew even more selfish.<br />
--Very polished inside-outside offensive game. Excellent finisher at the rim, this season off more decent-ish offensive rebounding, but just awful at drawing fouls. Very good mid-range jumper as well, but appears to be far better spotting up than off the dribble, but a bit of a grain of salt given suspect free throw percentages. Has experimented with the three ball in small samples with just OK results.<br />
--OK frame at best that might be undersized by several inches, especially given near center-like game. OK defensive playmaker, with fairly quick hands for steals, but not a shotblocker. Flat out awful defender, compounded by absolutely pitiful, near nonexistent defensive rebounding which would rank in the bottom ten of even college PFs. Awful rebounder in general for size. Makes lack of fouling look like sheer laziness. The real lack of defensive attributes for a big (height, rebounding, shotblocking, and general defense) really, really undermines his suspect offense, which while polished, lacks the foul drawing and passing ability to really optimize them. Between lack of foul drawing, rebounding, and shotblocking might just lack the athleticism. Very situational player in for some offense at the aggregate.<br />
<br />
Treveon Graham<br />
--High usage scorer who relies on a mixture of set-ups and isos, and has an excellent use of the offensive floor. Good handles, but really puts the blinders on and has passing ability that are two positions down from his listed height.<br />
--Decent finisher off cuts and draws fouls well. Improved pull-up jumper this year came at the expense of three point shooting. Both are streaky and likely just decent at best, but did shoot 40% on pull-ups this year and 40% from three last year. Subpar free throw shooting shows that there's a cap to how well he can shoot.<br />
--OK defender. Subpar defensive playmaker, but good rebounder for size. Does a little bit of everything, but nothing particularly well. Overall polished offensive game but doesn't really have an elite attribute on offense and appears very selfish.<br />
<br />
Tyler Ennis<br />
--Low usage caretaker PG. Exquisite court vision and excellent ballhandling ability who really, really limits turnovers despite a heavily isolation-based game.<br />
--Decent scorer. Prefers to get to the basket off the dribble and draws fouls somewhat, but awful finisher. Awful pull-up jumper. Good three point shooter, even off the dribble, and might be a decent shooter given decent free throw percentages, but only that. Really should just be a three point shooter at this stage.<br />
--Very good defender. Very good build for a NBA PG. Elite defensive playmaker who bags an absolute ton of steals. Decent rebounder for size. Never fouls. A surprisingly refined freshman prospect, with very good potential on defense but also a ton of discipline with passing and ballhandling on offense, although on offense might have to rely more on a decent three point shot, given that he lacks dynamics to run the offense for a long period and a reliable game inside the three point line. A bit of a Steve Blake/Mike Conley cross potentially on offense and defense.<br />
<br />
Tyrone Wallace<br />
--Very low usage spot-up SG with awful scoring ability. Subpar use of the offensive floor. Subpar finisher even when set up, and doesn't draw fouls given attack frequency.<br />
--Possibly lacks range, with awful jumpshooting base (24% mid-range J's, 29% spot-up threes), and corroborated by pathetically awful free throw shooting for a guard. That doesn't stop him from taking them, as that comprises nearly two-thirds of his offense. Combo-guard levels of passing but might have to be cognizant of turnovers, which are awful for a spot-up inclined player. Offensive decision-making and overall ability are awful at this stage.<br />
--Decent defender, and also a decent frame for a NBA SG. Very good rebounder for size. Subpar defensive playmaking. Looks to be more of a meat-and-potatoes type defender and might have to rely on that, since there's very little of an offensive base to work with.<br />
<br />
Wayne Selden<br />
--Low usage shooting guard who utilizes a mixture of set-ups and isolations, but subpar scorer. Prefers at-rim space where he is a good finisher off the dribble, but just OK at drawing fouls given at-rim frequency. Good pull-up jumper. Combo guard levels of passing, but forces passes and turnover prone, so has a SG canvas here.<br />
--Just an OK spot-up three point shot, but very poor free throw percentages might mean his shot here is subpar.<br />
--Awful defender. Nonexistent defensive playmaker with an awful steal rate. Poor rebounder. Little nose for the ball. Very good frame for a NBA SG. Appears to be better as an off the dribble role playing scorer with some passing, and looks the part of a SG, but turnovers, range, ability to command a larger share of the offense and all-around defense are major issues.<br />
<br />
Willie Cauley<br />
--Very low usage center with a poor scoring rate, but manufactures own offense more than typical center, even if the end result of manufacturing isn't that good. Good ballhandler for size. <br />
--Excellent finisher at the rim primarily off set ups, with pretty good offensive rebounding, but does not draw fouls that well. However, takes too many mid-range jumpers off the dribble (34, 32%) which he struggles to hit for frequency, and even greater grain of salt since he is DeAndre Jordan levels of terrible from the charity stripe. Needs to shrink down his offensive game and play solely at the basket.<br />
--Excellent defender with a top-notch frame for the NBA center position. Top notch defensive playmaker who really racks up the blocks but also has quick hands for steals, with even more impressive rates of both in his second year. Just an OK rebounder for his size, and quite questionable on the defensive glass, as he shows more zest for O-boards. A bit like Tyson Chandler if he can shrink his offense to simply at-rim and rely on his excellent defense, but there are questions about defensive boards and hitting free throws. <br />
<br />
Winston Shepard<br />
--Small forward with middling scoring ability at best. Good passer for size, but really, really has to watch out for turnovers, even if improved this year. Plays a decidedly isolation game.<br />
--Plays a mid-range in style of offense, and significantly shrunk back his three point attempts. Significantly improved finisher off inclined off-dribble plays, but still quite poor in the aggregate, but has major value drawing fouls considering his at-rim attacks. Traded off improved finishing however, for a far worse mid-range pull-up this year, and this shot might be poor in the aggregate; hurts his team by actually taking these shots. Severely lacks range, and with very poor free throw shooting for his position, might also lack the overall jumper as well.<br />
--Excellent defender, and decent body frame for a NBA SF. Good rebounder for size, decent on both ends. Doesn't really foul. Very poor defensive playmaker with a real inability to accrue steals. A rugged meat and potatoes defender who can really draw fouls and pass, but has no actual hotspots on offense and possible turnover problems. Can rely on his defense before he sorts out his offense, but has those few interesting quirks on offense.<br />
<br />
Xavier Thames<br />
--Undersized shooting guard who played a low usage, combo guard passing role in first three years of college, but increased his usage and became a far better scorer this year. Rounds out to being an average scorer, at best, for the NBA. Strictly a jumpshooter. Good ballhandler, particularly this year and can create jumpers for himself.<br />
--Has always played an isolation game, even with low usage. Never penetrates, but is extremely adept at drawing fouls anyway. Has taken a roughly equal share of pull-up mid range J's and off the dribble three point shots over the past two years, but pretty average for both of them, in the aggregate. However, has improved his three point shot every year though, and is shooting 43.3% so far this year, the majority off the dribble. Also, his shooting is believable, with a good free throw percentage and very good the past three years, so he might have decent isolation mid and long-range jumpers for the NBA. With his ability to hit jumpers inside and outside and draw fouls in the process, with some combo guard potential, a bit like a 6'3" Jamal Crawford, but based on track record could be far more passive about taking shots.<br />
--Subpar build for a NBA SG. Subpar defender. Very poor defensive playmaker. Awful rebounder for a SG. There's very little to like defensively and he'll likely require crossmatching, and perhaps some hiding, due to his undersized stature and lack of defensive reputation, but his ability to get off inside-outside jumpers off the dribble while drawing fouls and being able to pass somewhat could help him carve a place--very much like a smaller Jamal Crawford.<br />
<br />
Zach LaVine<br />
--Somewhat low usage spot-up shooting guard with just decent scoring chops. Unselfish, but doesn't pass the ball at combo guard levels, but does limit turnovers. Plays a very conservative style of offense which with lack of usage and great passing skill might indicate a lack of offensive upside.<br />
--Uses usage to mix up set-up shots at the rim and threes. Good shooter from deep, even off the dribble, and also extremely adept in his rare ventures for mid-range pull ups, but poor free throw shooting might indicate some problems here. Poor finisher off set ups, and really, really struggles to draw fouls given frequency of attempts. Further lack of offensive upside is the double whammy inability to attack the rim and draw fouls.<br />
--Decent build for a NBA SG, but needs to add weight. Very poor defender. Underwhelming defensive playmaker who brings little in way of steals. Awful rebounder for a shooting guard. Very little nose for the ball. On offense, he's an unselfish three point shooter, largely, but there are major questions about ability to create own offense or do much at the rim, and on defense he's lacking everywhere, and it's questionable whether his very niche offense is able to make up for his lack of defense. Needs seasoning.<br />

Starting lineup is PG-SG-SF-PF-C<br />
Bench (left to right) is in order of quality<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
1) LA CLIPPERS<br />
Starting lineup: Chris Paul, JJ Redick, Jared Dudley, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan<br />
Expected Rotation: Jamal Crawford (SG), Matt Barnes (SF), Darren Collison (PG), Byron Mullens (PF), Ryan Hollins (C)<br />
Coach: Doc Rivers<br />
*I had to bump the Clippers this high because they're nine-strong: from Chris Paul all the way to Byron Mullens. Crawford, Barnes and Collison are all capable NBA starters, and Crawford and Barnes are possible sixth man candidates, as both put up over 10 ppg off the bench last year. Collison and Mullens were also double digit scorers last season. Also, Redick and Dudley address the Clippers' primary need--adequate floor spacing. Both can really shoot the long ball, but they're also underrated defenders--Dudley in particular can be a stopper, as he attempted to play in his Phoenix days, and Redick also brings the bonus of side foul drawing and good passing ability. They have runners (Hollins, Barnes, Griffin, Jordan, Paul, Collison) and half-court specialists (Paul, Redick, Dudley, Crawford, Barnes). This is also a team that isn't too injury prone. But what can bring this over the top is that Doc Rivers is their coach, and he's at top five coach and excellent at instilling accountability and a defensive culture within a team. The Clippers have playmaking, shooting, a good mix of youth and mid-youth veteran savvy, athleticism, depth, plus a good coach--it's hard not to like them--but one issue is their frontcourt defense. Griffin and Jordan were poor in the interior defensively, and Hollins is largely a stopgap. This could be a problem that might really be exploited in the playoffs, but there's a lot to like otherwise.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
2) SAN ANTONIO SPURS<br />
Starting lineup: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter<br />
Expected Rotation: Manu Ginobili (SG), Marco Belinelli (SG), Matt Bonner (PF), Boris Diaw (C), Cory Joseph (PG)<br />
Coach: Gregg Popovich<br />
*The biggest issue with the Spurs is age in conjunction with the mileage of their players, and Duncan will be 37, Ginobili will be 36 and Parker will be 31 (but playing heavy minutes and entering the league young, he has more mileage than his age, and his game doesn't age too well). Considering this makes up the crux of the Spurs' minute allocation, the likelihood of all of them staying upright simultaneously is slim, and it's almost expected that Duncan and Parker might have some dropoff from their output last year. The Spurs have great rotation pieces in Green and Leonard, but it's questionable if they can take the next step, as aside from their big three they just have excellent three point shooting rotation pieces to play off the core players. Still, the Spurs sport an excellent defensive culture, as four of five members in their starting lineup are excellent defenders, with Green and Leonard even underrated in this area, and newcomer Belinelli fit into Chicago's tough defensive culture as well. But, the Spurs are easily best in the league in minutes management, and Gregg Popovich is the best coach in the league right now. With their veteran savvy, incredibly reliable defense, go-to guys surrounded by three point shooters, and experience, it's hard to bet against the Spurs. But with the top three related injury and age-related risks, they might go for a lesser seed this go-around.<br />
<br />
3) HOUSTON<br />
Starting lineup: Jeremy Lin, James Harden, Chandler Parsons, Donatas Motiejunas, Dwight Howard<br />
Expected Rotation: Omer Asik (C), Patrick Beverley (PG), Greg Smith (PF), Francisco Garcia (SG), Omri Casspi (SF)<br />
Coach: Kevin McHale<br />
*The Rockets vault themselves up to the third spot because I think their Dwight rotation will play well--Harden's a bit overrated as a long baller in accuracy, but is clearly comfortable taking a ton of threes, and Parsons and Motiejunas will also act as long range specialists. Lin and Harden can also slash and dish, and Dwight of course brings the inside scoring. This team has a ton of athleticism (Lin, Harden, Parsons, Howard, Asik, Beverley and Smith are all athletic) and is incredibly young too--there's a few injury concerns with Lin and Howard, but Beverley and Asik are very good and waiting in the wings, so there's great insurance. This team, between Asik, Howard, and Smith, could lead the league in dunks next season. Defensively, Parsons is underrated in the wings, Beverley is very good at the point, and Howard and Asik are legitimate defensive types. Even their bench has more shooters in Garcia and Beverley. Really, it's tough to find a weakness here. One can even make arguments that they are #1 or #2, in terms of the synergistic possibilities with their lineups (which, due to their youth, might be even better than the Spurs and Clippers). I just don't think it's their time yet: I have a lot of concerns about the coach, Kevin McHale, who utilizes a run-and-gun philosophy that plays to his team's strengths but doesn't have the pedigree of a Doc Rivers. Also, the Clippers and Spurs, while older, have more veteran savvy players than the Rockets have--in other words, the Rockets might need more experience to take off. McHale also developed a reputation of faltering down the stretch in close games as well. But, talentwise, they're already here.<br />
<br />
4) GOLDEN STATE<br />
Starting lineup: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, David Lee, Andrew Bogut<br />
Bench: Jermaine O'Neal (C), Draymond Green (SF), Harrison Barnes (SF), Marreese Speights (PF), Toney Douglas (PG)<br />
Coach: Mark Jackson<br />
*This is an incredibly tantalizing team, particularly with the starting lineup. All of the players' weaknesses are covered by the others in the starting lineup, and each player has their unique brand of strengths. Klay, David's and Stephen's poor defense? Covered by top notch defenders in Bogut and Iggy. Iggy's and Bogut's inability to shoot or score? Covered by the exquisite touch of Curry, Thompson and Lee. Curry and Klay being shoot first? Well, Iggy can play point forward and generate shots. Iggy in particular has always been underrated that way, but no one's realized it--he's able to plug up a lot of holes for defense-weak scorers, such as this Golden State team. Even the bench is good--they lost Jack and Landry, but on a talent-basis, have gotten better particularly on defense--Jermaine O'Neal and Draymond Green can really D up, and Toney Douglas does a good job contesting shots. Marreesse Speights has a nose for scoring off the bench. There's a lot of interesting offense/defense combinations with their lineups, and their coach, Mark Jackson, is a players' coach who is notorious for helping his teams overachieve, particularly on offense. The only real concern is that perhaps they're too green still--Iguodala, Bogut, Lee and coach Jackson haven't been through the "extensive playoff wars", so to speak--but the major issue here is injuries: Stephen Curry's 10 ankle rolls in the lockout reason are etched in NBA lore, and Bogut and Jermaine O'Neal are also incredibly injury prone. If Bogut and/or O'Neal fall down, this could drop them down quite a bit. But, on a talent basis, this is where they rank.<br />
<br />
5) OKLAHOMA CITY<br />
Starting lineup: Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins<br />
Bench: Reggie Jackson (PG), Nick Collison (PF), Jeremy Lamb (SG), Steven Adams (C), Andre Roberson (SF)<br />
Coach: Scott Brooks<br />
*Yeah, I know the question everyone's asking...WHY this low for a team that should have been a top three Western Conference powerhouse for years to come? Well, for one thing: this is a two man offensive team, only guided by Westbrook and Durant, and...Westbrook just got injured this playoffs. We don't know how he'll return, but assuming he misses time, largely it's just Kevin Durant and some side scoring off of relatively or completely unproven near rookies like Reggie Jackson and Jeremy Lamb. This team, like San Antonio, has a really good defensive starting lineup--Sefolosha and Ibaka are legitimate top notch defenders, and Westbrook and Durant, for stars, are eerily close to that as well, and Perkins, while he's lost a ton, once had that rep as a bruising post defender too. Off the bench, Nick Collison, while he's lost some, brings good defense too. And don't underestimate Scott Brooks--he's now a veteran coach in the league--and he oversaw the ascendance of this team, so he has the chops. As mentioned, it goes back to overall offensive depth--look at that bench. The Thunder have done an excellent job amassing lottery picks, lotto type talent in the second round, and reclamation lottery picks--but all of them are unproven. Of Jeremy Lamb, Steven Adams, Andre Roberson, Perry Jones, and Hasheem Thabeet, I wasn't too high on any of them, and frankly, all five of these players have limitations on offense, the last four of them being very severe. So, this team really looks quite a bit barren right now. Kind of like the Spurs, their defensive identity and great coaching, and having a superstar (Kevin Durant) is what's keeping this ranking afloat here.<br />
<br />
6) MEMPHIS<br />
Starting lineup: Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Tayshaun Prince, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol<br />
Bench: Kosta Koufos (C), Jerryd Bayless (PG), Ed Davis (PF), Quincy Pondexter (SF), Mike Miller (SF)<br />
Coach: Dave Joerger<br />
*Memphis has a very tight-knit defensive starting lineup, particularly in the backcourt with absolute stopper Tony Allen and fellow backcourt mate Mike Conley, who's also legit in contesting shots. Zach Randolph has really developed a ton defensively, and Marc Gasol was DPOY while Tayshaun Prince has a former defensive rep. Memphis also evened out the big men in their bench, now having a formidable backup combination of Ed Davis, who can really score, and Kosta Koufos, who brings rebounding brawn and side scoring. There aren't injury concerns either. Memphis's issue is it hasn't really addressed its two primary issues: three point shooting and playmaking at the guard positions. Memphis has has a lot of good mid-range shooters, but with Conley and Bayless passing at relatively average rates, the onus is on Marc Gasol to create offense at times. Also, Conley, Prince, Bayless and Pondexter don't space the floor well enough for Randolph and Gasol to work inside, as they only have slightly above average accuracy. This might cause the offense to bog down despite familiarity, and new coach Dave Joerger is a complete unknown and might have some growing pains as he mans the team. All in all, this is a tough and gritty defensive and rebounding team for sure, but enough limitations with the coach and offensive spacing that they're still here.<br />
<br />
7) DENVER<br />
Starting lineup: Ty Lawson, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried, JaVale McGee<br />
Bench: Andre Miller (PG), JJ Hickson (PF), Nate Robinson (SG), Evan Fournier (SF), Timofey Mozgov (C), Randy Foye (SG)<br />
Coach: Brian Shaw<br />
*Man, Denver. This team, as has been the case through most of the George Karl years, is still as deep as ever. Right when they lose Andre Iguodala and Kosta Koufos, they still have at least 10 serviceable players (I didn't even count Darrell Arthur, Anthony Randolph, and Jordan Hamilton, all of whom have their uses as well). There's a lot of interesting things about their starting lineup--this is a really athletic starting lineup. Then again, Denver is synonymous with "athlete", but Wilson Chandler, Faried and McGee should make them at least a top five dunking team, at least. Their bench can masquerade as a pseudo starting lineup as well. Their problems are four fold: there's not enough three point shooting, with the best bet being Gallo and Foye to some extent, but Chandler, Lawson and Fournier are merely decent at this. Also, interior defense: Faried and Hickson are excellent rebounders who are absolutely pathetic at defending the interior, and McGee is also sizzle over steak. Thirdly, it's questionable whether this team has a go-to guy: Gallinari is more of a very good second or third option rather than a first one, and Ty Lawson zones in and out of games too much to be one, whereas the others are all role players. Finally, their coach: Brian Shaw, along with the front office, is completely new at this, and while he's excellent at player development, he might go through growing pains. Really, only Andre Miller is the only savvy vet on this team. At the end, the Nuggets' youth, depth and athleticism is offset by their lack of floor spacing, go to guy, interior defense, and general experience. Tantalizing, but this is the Nuggets, part 70. We've seen it before.<br />
<br />
8) DALLAS<br />
Starting lineup: Jose Calderon, Monta Ellis, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, Samuel Dalembert<br />
Bench: Vince Carter (SF), Brandan Wright (C), Wayne Ellington (SG), DeJuan Blair (PF), Devin Harris (PG), Jae Crowder (SF)<br />
Coach: Rick Carlisle<br />
*Dallas is still in the midst of several roster moves, but it seems likely they'll get Dalembert and Wright back, so I'm putting them here. The starting lineup skews old, but there's a little synergy here: Calderon and Nowitzki as shooters, Ellis as a shot creator/slasher, Marion as off-the-ball finisher, and Dalembert with some offense and as garbage finisher. There's definite concern this won't work, though: Calderon and Nowitzki don't take as many threes as one would like, and Ellis is notoriously inefficient and languishes in the mid-range firing up shots. Defensively, we have the same issues: Dalembert, Harris and Marion are somewhat slipping defensively, Dalembert in particular guarding shots poorly last year, and while Ellis was really good last year, it could be a fluke. It's important for the team to cover up Calderon's defense, but again, just like with offense, there's potential. And that's where coaching comes in: Rick Carlisle is easily a top five coach in the league, and he can optimize the collective well, as there are disparate parts that if they adapt to their niches can complement each other decently. The other advantage Dallas has is their bench, with Vince Carter really bringing excellent two-way punch off the bench last year, and Wright is an underrated shotblocker and offensive player while Ellington is another 3's and D type. They might go eight deep this year. Another problem spot for Dallas is that with the exception of Wright, this is an unathletic team with little post scoring, but more importantly, Dirk, their star player, missed a chunk of games last year. Typically height and shooting ability are the determinants for longevity, so it shouldn't affect him much, though. Overall, great coaching, some offensive/defensive linkups, a go-to guy, and a good bench is what makes them the 8th seed, to offset the potential mismatch in players, lack of athleticism and some injury proneness on Dirk's part.<br />
<br />
9) PORTLAND<br />
Starting lineup: Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, LaMarcus Aldridge, Robin Lopez<br />
Bench: Dorell Wright (SF), CJ McCollum (SG), Meyers Leonard (C), Thomas Robinson (PF), Earl Watson (PG)<br />
Coach: Terry Stotts<br />
*This is an incredibly robust team, with Aldridge as a go-to guy, although without a real PG he's become progressively jumper happy over the years. But Batum used last year to really break out: he finally became the top notch defender he was billed to be, became a three point bombing specialist and also a legitimate point forward to alleviate shot-happy Lillard of playmaking duties. Aldridge in addition to Batum serves as an excellent defender, and new addition Lopez can contest shots decently as well. On offense, Matthews, Lillard and Batum all do a fine job of spacing the floor, as will as newcomers Wright and McCollum. There's scoring to go around this team, for sure. And the bench is decent, made up of two three point geared scorers and two hustle players. Injuries don't appear to be a problem either. The issues are three fold however: Playmaking is an issue: Lillard and McCollum are heavily inclined scorers, and that leads virtually all the playmaking duties to Batum. As mentioned, as a jumpshooting team, players might just want their numbers, and this can bog down the offense. In addition, rebounding might be a concern losing Hickson and replacing him with Lopez, and thirdly, Terry Stotts appears to be an average coach, more offensive-inclined than most coaches. Overall, this team has a clear cut trio of Lillard-Batum-Aldridge, with defense and jumpshooting in that package, and an improved scoring/hustling minded bench, but this is a very little passing/jumpshooting team with an average coach. Not to mention, I'm not too high on Leonard, McCollum and Robinson in general as NBA prospects, and Matthews has become an awful defender, so that dampens my expectations a bit. Together with the average coach, I'm more sold on what Carlisle can do with a legitimately deep bench at the end, but it's a little close.<br />
<br />
10) MINNESOTA<br />
Starting lineup: Ricky Rubio, Kevin Martin, Corey Brewer, Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic<br />
Bench: JJ Barea (PG), Chase Budinger (SF), Derrick Williams (PF), Alexey Shved (SG), Dante Cunningham (PF), Shabazz Muhammad (SF)<br />
Coach: Rick Adelman<br />
*Minnesota has a deep bench and supposedly tantalizing cornerstone types in Love and Rubio, but it's really being undermined for a ton of reasons, namely how injury prone their major core are. Rubio's missed 50 games in two seasons, and Love missed a huge chunk of this season. Pekovic missed 20 games this season. And Kevin Martin and Chase Budinger also have injury histories. If their young players are missing games, it only gets worse when they are older. The second issue: lack of athleticism, which might tie in with their lack of defense. Only Corey Brewer and Derrick Williams really strike as athletic among their roster, but the problem is that both are nondescript defenders. But the defense is a huge issue: their "cornerstones", Rubio and Love, are very poor defenders, and Martin and Pekovic are notoriously pretty awful. This means that their backcourt AND frontcourt defense are horrid. Thirdly: this team strikes as mostly a jumpshooting team, as only Pekovic really takes shots around the basket. Rubio can't finish at the rim, Love has been in "love" with his jumper lately, etc. There's depth, shooting and Rick Adelman is a good coach, but the injury proneness, lack of athleticism, complete lack of defense, and lack of interior scoring are ALL severe issues, and that's more than enough to knock Minny out of the playoff race.<br />
<br />
11) LA LAKERS<br />
Starting lineup: Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Nick Young, Pau Gasol, Chris Kaman<br />
Bench: Jordan Hill (C), Jodie Meeks (SG), Steve Blake (PG), Jordan Farmar (PG), Wes Johnson (SF)<br />
Coach: Mike D'Antoni<br />
*The Lakers are down here largely because of Kobe's Achilles injury: only Dominique Wilkins have ever come back from that approximating something fairly close to his peak, so it's reasonable to expect missed games and production dropoff on both ends of the court, unfortunately. Also, Nash, Pau, Kaman, and Hill all have the injury tag on them, so that makes things a hundred times worse. Why they are actually 11th: I'm splitting the difference with Kobe, wagering he can still put up 16-17 points per game, and playing at least 50 games here, and Nash, Bryant and Gasol are some of the most savviest veterans in the league and can help the team win some games over the less experienced teams below. But the Lakers are just incredibly flawed on multiple fronts: this is a very mid-range happy jumpshooting team. In fact, the starting lineup alone is pretty up all mid-range bingers: Nash, Bryant, Young, Gasol and Kaman all relish the 10-20 foot mark, and that's the most inefficient shot of the game, unfortunately, so that will hurt their offense. Secondly, the DEFENSE. This might be abysmal. Bryant was slipping even before the Achilles tear, and now he might be very poor after that; Nash was a bottom ten PG defender, and Kaman and Hill are awful; both backcourt AND frontcourt defense in terms of personnel are likely to be issues, and unfortunately, the Lakers have a coach (D'Antoni) who actually coaches down on defense, so he might make it even worse. Thirdly, the Lakers did very little to address their three point shooting--largely, it's only Meeks, Blake and Farmar. The only positive I can come up with is that the Lakers are veteran savvy and can pass the ball, with Nash, Bryant and Gasol all being good at that front. But that's where it ends: with injury concerns in their top three (most of all with Kobe), horrid offensive mid-range happy personnel, complete lack of inside/outside defense, and a questionable coach overall, they're like Minnesota, only with more experience but less depth and arguably a less potent offense.<br />
<br />
12) UTAH<br />
Starting lineup: Trey Burke, Alec Burks, Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter<br />
Bench: Brandon Rush (SG), Marvin Williams (PF), John Lucas III (PG), Andris Biedrins (C), Richard Jefferson (SF), Jeremy Evans (SF)<br />
Coach: Tyrone Corbin<br />
*Utah's ranked this low for multiple reasons, such as their complete lack of a veteran presence on their roster (way too green: need experience), an overrated coach who is more offensive-minded than defensive minded, a shallow bench, but also because there's a belief that they're tanking after hemorrhaging all the veterans from their roster and elevating all their young talent to finally start in place of them. But the reason I still put them this high? There's something here with their young talent. They have good floor spacers in Burke and Hayward, excellent young defenders in Burks and Favors (really look out for Favors), and a good post scorer and defender in Kanter. Excellent athleticism by Burks, Hayward and Favors as well, and and a 3's/D candidate in the underrated Brandon Rush off the bench. The rest of their bench is very weak, however, and they might lack quite a bit of the passing (Burke might be too green as a passer, and Favors and Kanter have zero handles). So overall, problems with the bench, passing, lack of a veteran presence, a clear lack of a go-to guy, and a poor coach gets Utah ranked this low. But a very promising starting five here. The problem is, even if Utah's trying to tank, they have a clear structure teamwise, which is something the other teams below them don't really have...<br />
<br />
13) NEW ORLEANS<br />
Starting lineup: Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon, Al-Farouq Aminu, Ryan Anderson, Anthony Davis<br />
Bench: Tyreke Evans (SG), Jason Smith (PF), Greg Stiemsma (C), Austin Rivers (SG), Anthony Morrow (SG)<br />
Coach: Monty Williams<br />
*New Orleans has a very uneven roster--very little synergy in their roster, and on top of that, their core players are injury prone, they lack depth, and their coach hasn't really proven much so far. All that could add up to prime disappointment. In fact, it's doubtful they'd play their three-guard lineup of Holiday, Gordon and Evans together--none of them space the floor well enough. Holiday rarely takes threes, Gordon's become an incredibly overrated, and frankly average, long range shooter, and Tyreke Evans doesn't even have the range. All three of them need the ball in their hands to score. Gordon in particular is incredibly injury prone, and Evans has missed a few games and has an injury prone style of play. Secondly, where is the three point shooting to space the floor? Only Ryan Anderson can really do this, and they might have to bump up Morrow from hibernation to fill this role. Thirdly, frontcourt defense will also be a huge issue--Anderson is a flat out awful defender, Davis gets overpowered at the rim, but at least Stiemsma and Smith are good at contesting shots. Fourthly, there is also zero depth with awful rookie Austin Rivers and zero defense Brian Roberts likely having to play rotation minutes, and that's combined with Eric Gordon's awful defense. At the end, the lack of core synergy, their injury proneness, lack of floor spacing, lack of frontcourt defense, lack of depth and an unproven coach will likely prove their season to be a disappointment. A waste of money to get Holiday in particular.<br />
<br />
14) SACRAMENTO<br />
Starting lineup: Isaiah Thomas, Greivis Vasquez, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Jason Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins<br />
Bench: Carl Landry (PF), Marcus Thornton (SG), Ben McLemore (SG), Chuck Hayes (C), John Salmons (SF), Patrick Patterson (PF)<br />
Coach: Mike Malone<br />
*Sacramento is a team completely in disarray. So many players playing the same position, so much skillset duplication, so many spare parts. It's hard to even call this a team right now. The only real compliment I can give them is that they have a lot of depth, and they have a lot of players they can shoot mid-range jumpers. But that's about it. Actually, besides the duplication, another issue that stuck out was that despite being so young, this is a unathletic team. Thomas, Fredette and Vasquez have never dunked in their NBA careers, Salmons, Thornton, Hayes and Mbah a Moute are below the rim, Patterson doesn't relish inside play. That has to be very concerning. Getting back to the duplication, everyone's a gunner on this team except for Vasquez and Chuck Hayes, but more importantly, the guards aren't really able to get to the rim or shoot threes that effectively either. Cousins has been a beacon of inefficiency representing the NBA center. Overall, no passing, no rim attacking, no three point shooting--this team's a mess. Undersized PFs galore in Patterson, Landry, and Hayes as well. Perimeter defense, with Isaiah Thomas, Thornton, and to some extent Vasquez, needs a ton of work as well, but newcomers Mbah a Moute and McLemore should help. Also, their go-to guy is DeMarcus Cousins, who is perceived as having attitude problems. Finally, their coach is unproven. Overall, the offensive mess, possible lack of perimeter defense, lack of athleticism, putting their stakes on Cousins, and an unproven coach--there's a lot that can easily go wrong here, which is why they're ranked this low.<br />
<br />
15) PHOENIX<br />
Starting lineup: Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe, Michael Beasley, Markieff Morris, Marcin Gortat<br />
Bench: PJ Tucker (SF), Marcus Morris (PF), Channing Frye (C), Caron Butler (SF), Shannon Brown (SG)<br />
Coach: Jeff Hornacek<br />
*This, like Sacramento, is another confusing team, but for different reasons: whereas Sacramento has skillsets in triplicate and undersized bigs, Phoenix's problem is that their starting lineup consists of veterans who have won games in the past and will put little effort trying to help a clearly losing team (ahem, Dragic, Scola, Gortat). In addition, Butler and Brown are likely dissatisfied and probably want out too. It's really hard to see how Phoenix will play this out--they seem directionless, and their best moves at this point are to trade those five. Secondly, besides Gortat, most of their big men are unathletic and prefer to camp out in the mid-range or three point line to fire away. Thirdly, Phoenix does have a bench, but none of them have real starting potential are just decent bench players, but at least they have a lot of those. Fourthly, Bledsoe is rightly the future, but he has enough limitations as a shooter and a passer to make him primarily just an energy guy, as well. Lastly, their coach, Jeff Hornacek, is completely new to this and there really isn't much praise for him as is typical for new coaches. Overall, their biggest problem is veteran discontent--way TOO many veterans, otherwise middling role players, soft jumpshooting bigs, a completely unproven coach--this has the recipe for disaster.<br />
<br />
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Now to the East:<br />
<br />
1) MIAMI<br />
Starting lineup: Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade, Shane Battier, LeBron James, Chris Bosh<br />
Bench: Chris Andersen (C), Ray Allen (SG), Udonis Haslem (PF), Norris Cole (PG)<br />
Coach: Erik Spoelstra<br />
*This team is a special team, because their two most gifted offensive players (Wade and James) are also top-notch, elite defenders. Westbrook and Durant came close, but Wade and James are completely legit on both ends. There's three point spacing with Chalmers, Battier, and Allen, and James really was drilling them from outside last year as well, which is why Mike Miller became expendable. Athletically, of course, Wade, despite his age, and James are the cream of the crop. Haslem and Andersen are also top notch, big bruising defenders in the frontcourt as well. The only somewhat overrated players are Chris Bosh and Norris Cole, but every team has someone that's truly awful--in this case, it's Cole. There's athleticism, three point shooting, good synergy/chemistry, a top notch up and coming coach in Spoelstra. There may be concerns about point guard, given Chalmers and Cole can't defend, but Wade and James cover up for it, and concerns in the frontcourt given that Bosh and James comprise a small frontcourt, but Andersen has also been a bit of a godsend, even if rebounding is an issue. Also, focus on Wade's injury--if he goes down, their depth will severely be tested, and that could bump them below Brooklyn, who has superior depth. Age could be an issue, because they don't have any players below 28 with true upside, and scoring depth is just OK, but again, the synergy of star defense, brusing frontcourt defense, athleticism-shooting on offense, and great coaching gives them the first seed.<br />
<br />
2) BROOKLYN<br />
Starting lineup: Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Brook Lopez<br />
Bench: Andrei Kirilenko (SF), Andray Blatche (C), Reggie Evans (PF), Shaun Livingston (PG), Alan Anderson (SG)<br />
Coach: Jason Kidd<br />
*This team is incredibly stacked. Yeah, we know they're paying the price in terms of the luxury tax, but this is one of the deepest teams we've seen in years. They have crafty mutual exclusion three point shooters/slashers in D-Will and Pierce, a converted three point shooter in Johnson, a mid-range specialist in Garnett, and a low post player in Lopez; Williams and Pierce are able passers as well. Defensively, Pierce an Garnett are top notch and bring an excellent culture to Brooklyn, as does newcomers Kirilenko and Livingston, and Lopez can contest shots as well. The bench is deep--Andrei Kirilenko is the classic fill-in-the-blanks don't need the ball in my hands player--he can score at the rim, play point forward, and while there's some slippage, he's very good on defense at his height. Andray Blatche can complement all the other players by scoring around the rim very effectively, and Reggie Evans is a rebounding beast that is necessary on this team given that Garnett and Lopez are now poor rebounders. Livingston is a good defensive backup.<br />
The major issue is athleticism--Williams, Johnson, Pierce and Garnett are all average or subpar athletes in general, but Blatche and Lopez bring some youthful at-rim scoring, and rebounding, because there's not much rebounding talent here anymore. But, with that depth, scoring capability, revamped defensive culture, and a bunch of veteran savvy from the first four in the starting lineup, it's really hard to put them anywhere below here. In fact, if Wade gets injured as mentioned, they could be up. Athleticism and rebounding are major issues, kind of like the Celtics' issues several years ago, as well as new coach Jason Kidd who's a complete blank slate, although the vets will help. Still, the coach variable and the lack of athleticism and the fact we have to see them all gel gives them this placeholder for now.<br />
<br />
3) INDIANA<br />
Starting lineup: George Hill, Lance Stephenson, Paul George, David West, Roy Hibbert<br />
Bench: Danny Granger (SF), Luis Scola (PF), CJ Watson (PG), Chris Copeland (SF), Ian Mahinmi (C)<br />
Coach: Frank Vogel<br />
*This team is pretty much like Memphis East--excellent defensive culture in their starting five, with Hill and George particularly top notch in this area, Hibbert getting DPOY mentions for his ability to contest shots and West being a very rugged defender. Watson and Johnson are also good defenders. I put Granger off the bench because of the shot distribution spacing, and it's best for him to be a sixth man on this team. This team doesn't really score directly at the rim, but they have a bunch of three point shooters (Hill, George, Granger, Watson) and good mid-range scorers (West, Copeland), and also, they don't really have a pure PG, so George has to cover up for Hill's average passing ability. There isn't much athleticism in the frontcourt with West, Hibbert and Mahinmi, and in general this isn't a super athletic team, but George and Hill are good jumpshooting athletes. That's why they're a defensive outfit, because the lack of passing and at-rim scoring, and some lack of athleticism, leads to just a OK offensive outfit. But Vogel is an excellent coach who has maximized their defense, they are young and not injury prone, have a good bench especially with Granger returning, and the whole culture here gives them this seed.<br />
<br />
4) CHICAGO<br />
Starting lineup: Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah<br />
Bench: Mike Dunleavy (SF), Taj Gibson (PF), Kirk Hinrich (PG), Nazr Mohammed (C), Marquis Teague (PG)<br />
Coach: Tom Thibodeau<br />
*Chicago ranks this high because of the whole defensive culture, like Indiana, that permeates chunks of their starting lineup. They're not as good as Indiana, but Rose was the best PG defender in his MVP year, Jimmy Butler, while he can't rebound, made a name as a rookie contesting shots well, and Joakim Noah is an excellent defensive lynchpin for a center. Deng had a rep in the past but lost quite a bit this year, and only Boozer is a major weak link here. Newcomer Mike Dunleavy comes in with a great defensive season from Milwaukee, and Gibson's excellent at contesting shots, and Hinrich and Teague also carry reps here. A ton to like defensively. Thibodeau is excellent at integrating players defensively, which is why this should be a top three defensive team next year, at least. Offensively, this team struggles to draw fouls, has a lot of mid-range obsessed players and there are only two legitimate three point specialists (Dunleavy, Hinrich), and could use an extra passing-minded PG to organize the offense. Because of those offensive issues, the need for more bench scoring, slightly more defensive questions than Indiana, and the fact that we don't know how Rose will return, we'll seed them 4th for now.<br />
<br />
5) NEW YORK<br />
Starting lineup: Raymond Felton, Iman Shumpert, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler<br />
Bench: JR Smith (SG), Pablo Prigioni (PG), Andrea Bargnani (C), Metta World Peace (SF)<br />
Coach: Mike Woodson<br />
*Ah, the Knicks. Always good at getting "name" players, but always getting players whose game is more sizzle than steak, and always compiling lineups whose sum is less than their parts, not to mention their coach is average all the way. Very little synergy. Also, really have to watch for the injury factor: Stoudemire and Chandler are athleticism-based and past 30, so the potential for injury really occurs, Stoudemire, Shumpert, and Bargnani missed extensive time with injuries the past year, and JR Smith underwent surgery over the summer. Also, this team has a ton of mid-range happy players like Felton, Anthony, Stoudemire and Bargnani, and while Anthony, Smith and Peace all love to shoot threes, only Prigioni punches his weight here. Defensively, there's Smith, Prigioni, Shumpert, and Chandler, but Shumpert and Chandler really regressed this past season: in particular, the defense by Anthony, Stoudemire, Felton, and Bargnani is flat out awful. The Knicks just lack "intelligent" players, besides possibly Tyson Chandler and Pablo Prigioni, and their coach doesn't coach up anywhere. Overall, there's enough name players to garner this seed, but only by default: there are major concerns with injuries, defense, intelligence and mid-range shooting/some lack of passing, and with a OK coach there isn't much hope here.<br />
<br />
6) CLEVELAND<br />
Starting lineup: Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters, Anthony Bennett, Tristan Thompson, Andrew Bynum<br />
Bench: Anderson Varejao (C), Jarrett Jack (PG), CJ Miles (SF), Earl Clark (PF), Alonzo Gee (SF)<br />
Coach: Mike Brown<br />
*This is a pretty well-arranged team for an up-and-coming team trying to make noise: the starting lineup has the real talented high lottery pick youngsters, and the bench has the NBA vet mentors and quasi-NBA-vet types, and the coach was notorious for winning games for this team in the LeBron era. However, there's not much synergy with their starting lineup: only Kyrie Irving can shoot the long ball, Waiters is a mindless chucker, Tristan Thompson is an inefficient scorer and Anthony Bennett is a bit of an unknown but I really question his ability to shoot from deep and his handles, so I wasn't high on him. Even Bynum, along with his backup Anderson Varejao and possibly Irving himself, are major injury risks, but with Bynum and Varejao if they're dialed in the return is huge. The Cavs also have a lot of major weak links defensively in the backcourt, with Irving, Waiters, and Gee, but Mike Brown might be able to coach them up there. Also, the passing: Jack and Irving are shoot-first PGs, and no one else really strikes as a passer in their rotation, so that will really hamper them. Overall, there are offensive (passing/shooting concerns), defensive (in the backcourt) and injury concerns with their core players (Bynum/Irving/Varejao), and Mike Brown has a tendency to mindlessly run his teams to the ground to seek out seasonal wins at the expense of everything else. There doesn't appear to be great synergy, but they have depth when fully healthy for sure, and a reasonable enough coach, and go-to guys in Irving and Bynum, which is major in these rankings.<br />
<br />
7) WASHINGTON<br />
Starting lineup: John Wall, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter, Emeka Okafor, Nene Hilario<br />
Bench: Martell Webster (SF), Trevor Ariza (SF), Trevor Booker (PF), Eric Maynor (PG), Kevin Seraphin (C)<br />
Coach: Randy Wittman<br />
*This is a well-balanced roster with a coach who really coached upwards on defense last year, so there's a lot to like here: Wall, the go-to guy, is a slasher with major defensive potential if he can recover it, and Washington has a very stout defensive interior lineup with Emeka Okafor, who was top notch last year, and Nene, who's excellent at contesting shots. Moreover, Beal was a top notch defender last year, and Porter has that rep; Beal and Porter are also floor spacers for Wall and the two bigs, and Nene has always been an underrated do-everything type--dunker, great defender, good passer. Off the bench are two more 3's-D types in Webster and Ariza, burly scorers in Seraphin and Booker, and pure PG in Maynor, so there's a lot to like here. The one major problem is veteran leadership, which they might not have enough of, as well as injuries--Wall, Beal and Hilario missed significant time, and they're the core of what Washington does. Also, Still, a lot of synergy, EXCELLENT defensive potential, offensive complements with go-to guy, deep shooting pool, a bench, hustle players. It's a good match all around.<br />
<br />
8) ATLANTA<br />
Starting lineup: Jeff Teague, Lou Williams, Kyle Korver, Paul Millsap, Al Horford<br />
Bench: Elton Brand (PF), Gustavo Ayon (PF), Lucas Noguiera (C), Dennis Schroeder (PG), John Jenkins (SG)<br />
Coach: Mike Budenholzer<br />
*This team really starts to lose its depth after its top six, and is one of the few teams that might have to resort to playing its rookies. Horford might be the new heart and soul of the team--he's perpetually out of position at center, but even there is a top notch elite defender both ways, and Millsap, while slipping in boarding and defense, is tough-nosed and has a knack for stealing, while bringing inside-outside offense a la Horford. In the perimeter Teague and Williams are slashing guards that are both just OK in deep accuracy, and both are just OK PGs, and really only Korver and Jenkins can knock down the long ball. There's perimeter defensive potential here between Lou Williams and rookie Schroeder here, and the frontcourt defense is excellent with Horford, Brand, and arguably Millsap, even if all three are undersized. Rookie Noguiera could also make noise. There's a lack of a real paint presence, three point shooting, and passing here, as well as depth, so that will hurt Atlanta offensively, but this is Chicago lite--a lot of a grit-and-grind defensive players particularly in the frontcourt but some in the backcourt, and a San Antonio defensive apprentice in Budenholzer. Not enough talent to advance farther than this, but they'll play hard on defense, for sure.<br />
<br />
9) MILWAUKEE<br />
Starting lineup: Brandon Knight, OJ Mayo, Carlos Delfino, Ersan Ilyasova, Larry Sanders<br />
Bench: John Henson (PF), Zaza Pachulia (C), Luke Ridnour (PG), Gary Neal (SG), Ish Smith (PG), Ekpe Udoh (PF)<br />
Coach: Larry Drew<br />
*It's hard to tell what the Bucks, but they are loaded in defensive minded big men and are very shallow at the wings. I'm assuming Brandon Jennings comes back after finding the market dried up for his services. This team has a bunch of shooters-Mayo, Delfino, Ilyasova, and Jennings--and all of them are good ones. Also, they have excellent long armed defensive lynchpins in Larry Sanders and John Henson, who was amazing last year defensively as a rookie--so they have the defense at the hardest position down, and both of them are dunk machines. Delfino and in the past, Jennings, have proven defensive chops as well. They also have side passers in Delfino and Mayo to complement Jennings. Hustle players in Pachulia and Ayon. The problem is they lack a clear go to guy, and you don't want your go to guy to be a jumpshooter (Jennings/Mayo), they have no perimeter slashing, and they might lack some veteran leadership, as well as something above an average coach in Larry Drew, but overall, a ton to like here. Some passers, good shooters, interior athletes who can really D up there. It's really between Atlanta and Milwaukee here, but Budenholzer has a better reputation and probably does a better job at instilling the defensive identity, and they have better go-to guys in Horford and Millsap, who bring in more veteran leadership, even if their offense appears worse. So that's the key here.<br />
<br />
10) DETROIT<br />
Starting lineup: Brandon Jennings, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Josh Smith, Greg Monroe, Andre Drummond<br />
Bench: Will Bynum (PG), Rodney Stuckey (SG), Luigi Datome (SF), Charlie Villanueva (PF), Jonas Jerebko (PF), Kyle Singler (SF)<br />
Coach: Maurice Cheeks<br />
*The Pistons are largely in here on the strength of their frontcourt lineup of Smith, Monroe, and Drummond, because there's little else to like. Monroe and Drummond are both below age 24 and both are already top-notch defenders, both in terms of rebounding and contesting shots. Along with Josh Smith's rebounding and shotblocking prowess this can be an incredibly dominant defensive frontcourt. Drummond has a lot of Shaq-like qualities to him in particular. The problem? All three of these excel in the same space--at the rim. Different ways--Drummond is a monster dunker, as is Smith, while Monroe led the league in layups the pass here. None of them are jumpshooters at any sense of the word, and that presents a major problem--I thought of moving Drummond back to the bench, but all three are too good to play there, so the Pistons have a major conundrum--which is why I moved rookie Caldwell-Pope into the starting lineup. He ranked well in my draft rater and although he's more of a volume shooter than a great shooter, he's still a good one and can make defenses pay. Knight is a OK three point shooter, and Smith's point skills can cover up for Knight's shoddy passing. Also, Knight was a really good defender this past year, and Caldwell-Pope can be with his steal rate: all five members might really be able to D up, and that could be a sight to see. The problem with the Pistons is they lack passing and shooting, both in their starting lineup and off their bench: only rookies Caldwell-Pope and Datome can really stroke it, while Villanueva, Knight are average and Singler doesn't take enough. There's just very little synergy, with little shooting/passing, zero veteran leadership, and a huge chunk of it really rests on the defensive potential and interior scoring game of their frontcourt; coach Cheeks is considered a poor coach and it's questionable why he got another chance. Their offense might be quite poor at the end, but defensively this should make noise. Not enough to make the playoffs.<br />
<br />
11) TORONTO<br />
Starting lineup: Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay, Amir Johnson, Jonas Valanciunas<br />
Bench: Steve Novak (SF), DJ Augustin (PG), Landry Fields (SF), Terrence Ross (SG), Aaron Gray (C)<br />
Coach: Dwane Casey<br />
*Toronto has a starting lineup that's brimming with potential on the defensive end--Lowry, Gay and Johnson have always been top-notch defenders, but DeRozan really stepped up this past year, and Valanciunas is solid as well. The problem is offensively--DeRozan and Gay are awful ballstoppers who love to settle for mid-range shots, and only Lowry can shoot threes, and only at a decent rate. So there's issues with lack of three point shooting and too much mid-range shooting, and possibly not enough passing (only Lowry can pass in this roster), so this can lead to a horrid offense. Off the bench, however, has sharpshooter Steve Novak, who could complement their bigs well, but that's it for the bench--it's a wasteland with the regressing Fields, bust Ross, and 6 fouls Gray. Dwane Casey can maximize their defense as a specialist there, but they have no hope offensively, plus no depth, little shooting/passing and too much mid-range shooting.<br />
<br />
12) PHILADELPHIA<br />
Starting lineup: Michael Carter-Williams, Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young, Spencer Hawes, Nerlens Noel<br />
Bench: Jason Richardson (SG), Lavoy Allen (PF), Kwame Brown (C), Nate Wolters (PG), Arsalan Kazemi (PF), James Anderson (SG)<br />
Coach: ???<br />
*Philadelphia really had a lot of able defenders, with Turner, Young, and Hawes being really good defenders last year, and Noel's considered a cornerstone (expected to return November) and Carter-Williams, despite the zone and "Syracuse" factor, had good defensive metrics. Off the bench are more capable defenders in Allen (contesting shots), Richardson (both ways), and able defender Kwame Brown, as well as Luke Ridnour-like aggressive slashing Nate Wolters and rebounding/reflexive rookie Arsalan Kazemi. Philly really lacks a go-to guy in the worst way, shooting (only J-Rich is really a dominant shooter, and their starting lineup has little touch) and interior scoring (Hawes and Allen are jumpshooters and Noel and Brown lack touch) and in particular, Turner, Young, Hawes, Allen, and Richardson all show a complete aversion to drawing fouls. That plus zero coach and no veteran leadership, makes it tough to go beyond this. The offense might be problematic with little deep shooting or foul drawing, and little interior scoring, and no go to guy, and while there's defensive potential through the top eight players, we don't know the coach yet. So they're placed here.<br />
<br />
13) CHARLOTTE<br />
Starting lineup: Kemba Walker, Ben Gordon, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Cody Zeller, Al Jefferson<br />
Bench: Ramon Sessions (PG), Jeff Taylor (SF), Josh McRoberts (PF), Jeff Adrien (PF), Bismack Biyombo (C), Brendan Haywood (C)<br />
Coach: Steve Clifford<br />
*This team still has major issues, but the starting lineup configuration at least has a mixture of veterans and young players. Zeller and Jefferson can both stretch the floor and Zeller has athleticism to complement Jefferson's post scoring, but none of them can stop anyone, and only Kidd-Gilchrist can defend. Not much shooting either apart from Ben Gordon. At least there's some alpha dog scorers in Jefferson and Walker here, but little in way of passing in the starting lineup. So there's issues offensively and defensively, but the alpha dogs helps a bit. Their bench has foul drawing, reasonable passing Sessions to manufacture points, and Jeff Taylor is a rugged defender with some touch inside, and McRoberts can pass the ball if nothing else. But not much defense, little veteran leadership, a new unproven coach. One can make an argument to be above Philly becuase of the go-to guys here, but I think they're more scrambled on offense and defense and that will be a problem.<br />
<br />
14) ORLANDO<br />
Starting lineup: Jameer Nelson, Victor Oladipo, Mo Harkless, Glen Davis, Nikola Vucevic<br />
Bench: Tobias Harris (SF), Arron Afflalo (SG), Jason Maxiell (PF), Kyle O'Quinn (C), Andrew Nicholson (PF), E'Twaun Moore (SG)<br />
Coach: Jacque Vaughn<br />
*I'm expecting the Magic not to keep forwards Al Harrington and Hedo Turkoglu, as they already want to be released. Defensively, only Davis and likely Oladipo will be top notch, but there is an issue with floor spacing--I have doubts whether Oladipo is really a good shooter, and Nelson was a subpar shooter last year as was Afflalo, and relative newcomers Tobias Harris and E'Twaun Moore were the same way. This team lacks majorly in foul drawing--Vucevic and Davis are awful here, as well as Harkless and Nicholson. Only Nelson can pass the ball at an above average rate, so overall, with little synergy--little long range shooting, no foul drawing, little passing--offense is a wreck. Defensively, much of their bench players are pretty weak at the perimeter (Harris, Afflalo, Moore, Jones). Injuries with Nelson, Afflalo and Davis are also a concern. Vaughn is unknown. Overall, there's little to see here--little synergy, little strengths. They'll be awful.<br />
<br />
15) BOSTON<br />
Starting lineup: Rajon Rondo, Jordan Crawford, Gerald Wallace, Jeff Green, Kelly Olynyk<br />
Bench: Jared Sullinger (C), Brandon Bass (PF), Avery Bradley (SG), MarShon Brooks (SF), Courtney Lee (SG), Kris Humphries (PF)<br />
Coach: Brad Stevens<br />
*Boston has a prime passer with regressing, but still decent, defense in Rondo, and this lineup would allow him to create for Jeff Green's mid-range shots and Kelly Olynyk's post moves, as well as some gunning scoring by Jordan Crawford. Post defense will be a huge issue with Green and Olynyk being very weak defenders, but Wallace, while he's lost it completely on offense, could help on the perimeter. Overall, this team lacks long range shooting and foul drawing badly, and it's questionable if Rondo has the heart to deliver to a bad team. Boston's bench is strong, with the underrated low post scorer/defender in Sullinger, and Bradley was once a top notch defender too., and Brooks and Sullinger can score. Brad Stevens is perceived as an up and comer. But overall, very questionable offense from this crew, and poor interior defense, but without Rondo, this whole venture breaks down, and he just might. Might be interchangeable with Orlando, but they're ahead of the curve with Vucevic and Oladipo who's perceive to be good, so they rank one up.<br />
<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2314980572833490356.post-47361135039899667632013-07-06T00:00:00.001-07:002013-07-06T00:00:25.279-07:00WHAT ARE THE LAKERS' OPTIONS IN FREE AGENCY POST DWIGHT HOWARD?Well, we've officially lost Earl Clark, Chris Duhon and Dwight Howard, and Mike D'Antoni has already alienated Devin Ebanks and Antawn Jamison (another reason to hate D'Antoni, he forcefully takes away minutes without a capable explanation) and those have pretty much said adios to the Lakers. Andrew Goudelock is someone who's not expected to be back, not to mention he's incredibly one-dimensional and has limitations almost everywhere else besides scoring/shooting. Kevin Ding already reported that in the event that Dwight leaves, look for the Lakers to amnesty World Peace, and I don't think that's going to change--we're stuck in the worst scenario, no man's land, between the 7th and 10th spots in the West, and Peace has been regressing badly on both ends and won't help a mediocre to poor roster. So that's already seven (at least) players gone from our roster. By the way, I'm assuming the Lakers are preserving cap space and will not execute any sign and trades with the Rockets.<br />
<br />
I'd prefer not to have Robert Sacre, because if you've read my scouting report, I don't see any NBA-level capabilities and we shouldn't waste a roster spot just to have a cheerleader to bring the mood up during losses. He's a RFA, though, and something tells me we could have him back on the cheap, but still, if I were manning this roster right now, I wouldn't take him. That's (hopefully) eight now.<br />
<br />
I'm not a big fan of Darius Morris either, because he needs to rewire his game and recognize is limitations, but even then, his niche of threes-D isn't as strong as other players. I'm mixed on letting him return, particularly since we have Nash and Blake sopping minutes, but of course with Nash's injury history he'll be good insurance, and can come on the cheap (minimum). We have already shown signs of wanting him to return by letting him know he can play in our summer league. So I'd pencil him into next season's roster.<br />
<br />
So we're looking at<br />
PG: Nash, Blake, Morris<br />
SG: Bryant, Meeks<br />
SF: None<br />
PF: Hill, Kelly<br />
C: Gasol<br />
<br />
Eight familiar guys on our roster (I'm assuming Ryan Kelly will make it, he's certainly talented enough--read my scouting report). We need at least four more guys, and likely five more guys to round it out.<br />
<br />
We'll have about $70mil of salaries next year with Metta's amnesty, so I'm assuming we're right at around tax level ($70.307mil). So we'll only have our mini mid-level exception and veteran's minimum for other free agents. Unfortunately, many of the top free agents have already chosen teams, although almost all of them were out of our price range.<br />
<br />
I doubt we'd make any trades, although if we're completely tanking, trading Nash won't be a horrendous option, since there's no way we'll win this year and the clock is ticking on his end. However, it's only going to be one year before we might have our books completely wiped clean--only Nash is under contract for the 2014 season and beyond. So I don't think we'll trade him. Just have our top vets sustain a mediocre season--don't think we have the limited talent, or the veterans who would allow it, to tank for Wiggins. Assuming we do fall in the late lottery though, in a deep draft, who knows if a Aaron Gordon or a Dante Exum or a Marcus Smart could fall to us. So really, I'd recommend an all-out tank, especially if Kobe takes a while to recover. A great draft pick would be very nice.<br />
<br />
We badly need to replenish our forward positions--any small forward, backup PF and a starting or backup center are priorities. Obviously to one year deals, to preserve our cap space. We've lost a huge chunk of our defense with Dwight and can sorely use some of that.<br />
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
[b]FULL MINI MID-LEVEL OPTIONS:[/b]<br />
<br />
First of all, I'd like to use the full mid-level on Oden, and we can sell him with minutes when we move Pau to PF, but I think he's going to take more than that amount of money to get. So, I'd really, really attempt to put our priorities on Samuel Dalembert as Pau's backup, likely with the full mid-level. That's the going rate for centers nowadays, especially since Dalembert still has vestiges of the rebounding and shotblocking he was known for, and while his dunking and defense have slipped a bit, he's still able at both fronts, and has a serviceable mid-range J. He gives us size and length.<br />
<br />
If we can't get Dalembert, fall back for mini mid-level would be to go for Dallas's Brandan Wright--while his shotblocking's ahead of his defense and way ahead of his rebounding, his offensive game is exquisite--sweet mid-range shot, dunking, provides youth--and we'll need that to replace Jamison's offense. Yeah, he doesn't help with rebounding, but he'll plug other holes. He has the youth advantage over Dalembert for sure, but Dalembert will shore up the rebounding and provide enough offense to go with it, which is why he's first on the list.<br />
<br />
If we want small forward first, given that we have zilch at the moment, Al-Farouq Aminu is available. He's starter quality, having started for New Orleans last year, and we need a starting small forward badly. He'll likely take the full mid-level, but he's an underrated on all things defender--he's excellent at rebounding, has great reflexes, and can really defend shots well. The problem is on the other end of the floor where he lacks skill and range, and at times allows his teams to play 4-on-5. But we need to emphasize defense and youth, and Aminu provides a lot of that. I put Dalembert in front because I like to have bigs more, but Aminu isn't a bad option. (FYI: I'd avoid Alan Anderson of Toronto if anyone was wondering--he can't defend his shadow, shot 38% from the field and for a supposed shooter he only made a third of his threes)<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
[b]IF WE GET DALEMBERT, MINIMUM OPTIONS:[/b]<br />
<br />
With Gasol, Kelly, and Hill all being more on the finesse end of athletes, assuming we get Dalembert, we might need a bruiser PF, and a SF to fill the remainder. Bruiser PFs I'd like for the minimum include Ivan Johnson from Atlanta and Jason Maxiell from Detroit. Kenyon Martin is of the same mold, but he's old enough to the point where I think it's more advantageous for him to join a contender. DeJuan Blair is likely out of our minimum price range, and we wouldn't want to use the full mini mid level on him to begin with. Lamar Odom, while on the old side, I think he'd like to come back for sentimental reasons--he might be had for the minimum, I think, and his defensive versatility could be of major use to us, but I think he might want to stay with a contender as well. I like how Maxiell has been homegrown, having stayed with Detroit throughout his NBA career, and he's an underrated rebounder and shotblocker who relishes the dirty work. He's way too undersized at 6'7" for a PF, but he's still as athletic as ever (55 dunks, finishes 68% at the rim) but has no range. Still, he's kind of what we'd like for our team. Ivan Johnson's also a bruiser, will dunk some, has reflexes for steals and has a workable offensive game, and might be underrated as well here, but he's not a shotblocker.<br />
<br />
A SF I think we can get for the minimum, and to badly fill the starting spot--I'd really like James Johnson. He's a bit of a tweener--he doesn't really have the range to be a SF, but he moves like a SF and can pass the ball as well. He's a wild horse who doesn't know his limitations offensively and forces up jumpers, and with his lackluster Sacramento season we can capitalize with the minimum here. A 1 year minimum deal as a possible starter with Kobe guiding him could be a useful experience for him, especially since he's young and athletic. Defensively, he wasn't good this past season, but with his quickness and his ability to rack up steals AND blocks I think there's a lot of untapped potential here, for sure. He's one of the more interesting candidates.<br />
<br />
My second option would be Carlos Delfino, hopefully we can get both James Johnson AND Delfino for the minimum because they'd complement each other. With him getting waived, even though he put up 10 a game last season, it might be possible to get him for the minimum. He's an underrated ballhandler, passer, and an excellent defender, both in contesting shots, deflecting passes and rebounding. And he's a preferred long range shooter who can really stroke it. He fills in the blanks extremely well for our team, with few weaknesses. It's hard to believe the Rockets waived him, but if they took Dwight from us, I think Delfino would be a great get for us.<br />
<br />
Third option is Ronnie Brewer. Can we resuscitate his career? He's only 28, but he's badly faltering ever since his Utah days. He's been a pretty overrated defender in Utah--more good than great, more off-ball than on-ball--but he has good quickness, has been a great dunker and doesn't need the ball in his hands to succeed. Very mistake free player--doesn't turn the ball over, doesn't foul. Has completely lost confidence in scoring and range, both from the foul line and from the perimeter over the past few seasons, which has really hampered his career. But still, he's kind of a cheaper Al-Farouq Aminu clone, without the rebounding and with worse defense, but still. We could also try our hand in Terrence Williams--perhaps too flaky and immature, but in his rookie year he was a triple double threat with some really good passing ability. Very athletic too and has defensive potential. Poor shooter, but there's potential to work with here. Mickael Pietrus is another option here, an overzealous defender and a highly preferred but overrated three point shooter who's acquitted himself in the GS's run and gun well, so he'd be familiar with D'Antoni's schemes. He's older than Brewer though and more of a journeyman which is why he's further down this list though. I was a big fan of Derrick Brown in his Charlotte stint two years ago when he got minutes, sick dunk machine and very capable defender, but not much else. Still, athletic markers and youth are what we absolutely need. If anyone's wondering, not a fan of Hakim Warrick's lack of defense and rebounding, and he's nearing 30 and has an athletic-based game, so I'd avoid.<br />
<br />
[b]IF WE GET AMINU, MINIMUM OPTIONS:[/b]<br />
<br />
If we get Al-Farouq Aminu, to fill our center spot I'd like Zaza Pachulia. Something tells me he's worth more than the minimum though, but he's rugged, gets a ton of offensive boards and tries very hard on defense, albeit it's foul prone. But he has size, and I like how he's spent the past 8 years on one team (shows that Atlanta was willing to invest in him). But again, given he's worth more than the minimum (likely), that's why I don't want to put the eggs on the Aminu basket. Marreesse Speights might also want more than the minimum, and his game is hate-able because he loves stuffing his offensive numbers and doesn't do much else on defense and passing, but we'll need offense to replace Jamison, and he could be an able backup PF. Other options include Cole Aldrich, raw but could block shots in college, and was a lottery pick, and Hamed Haddadi is another underrated big man--he's raw and uncoordinated, but super tall, a rebounding machine and a space eater with some surprising touch around the rim. If we need big men shooters, for whatever reason, Josh Harrellson (threes/rebounds) and Donte Greene (attempted "threes/defense-mobility) are always available for the minimum. Birdman seems unlikely, of course.<br />
<br />
[b]IF WE GET WRIGHT, MINIMUM OPTIONS:[/b]<br />
<br />
Combinations of the other two: for small forward, again ideally it's the Carlos Delfino-James Johnson tandem we get, but there's also Ronnie Brewer, Terrence Williams, Mickael Pietrus, and Derrick Brown as fall backs. At center, Zaza Pachulia, but if not, Cole Aldrich or Hamed Haddadi could prove useful.<br />
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
So we need five more guys.<br />
<br />
Just to recap:<br />
<br />
Mini mid level: Ideally 1) Samuel Dalembert, 2) Brandan Wright, 3) Al-Farouq Aminu (in that order)<br />
<br />
[b]Options[/b]:<br />
SFs (get 2 if Dalembert or Wright, 1 if Aminu): Carlos Delfino, James Johnson, Ronnie Brewer, Terrence Williams, Mickael Pietrus, Derrick Brown<br />
PFs (get 1 if Dalembert or Aminu): Jason Maxiell, Ivan Johnson, Marreese Speights, Donte Greene, Josh Harrellson (the last three options, only if we get Aminu)<br />
Cs (get 1 if Wright or Aminu): Zaza Pachulia, Cole Aldrich, Hamed Haddadi<br />
<br />
This gets us four for our 12-man roster, and we could have someone perhaps off summer league to fill in the remainder, or maybe someone off the options list above.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
[b]THE DALEMBERT DEAL: [/b]<br />
<br />
Just to recap, the Dalembert deal is the most ideal to me. So with Dalembert, the ideal combination would be to sign Carlos Delfino, James Johnson and Jason Maxiell as well all to veteran minimum contracts, with another summer league player.<br />
<br />
[u]Lineup configuration[/u]:<br />
PG: Nash, Blake, Morris<br />
SG: Bryant, Meeks<br />
SF: Delfino, James Johnson<br />
PF: Hill, Maxiell, Kelly<br />
C: Gasol, Dalembert<br />
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
[b]THE WRIGHT DEAL: [/b]<br />
<br />
So with Wright, the ideal combination would be to sign Carlos Delfino, James Johnson and Zaza Pachulia all to veteran minimum contracts, with another summer league player.<br />
<br />
[u]Lineup configuration[/u]:<br />
PG: Nash, Blake, Morris<br />
SG: Bryant, Meeks<br />
SF: Delfino, James Johnson<br />
PF: Hill, Brandan Wright, Kelly<br />
C: Gasol, Pachulia<br />
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
[b]THE AMINU DEAL: [/b]<br />
<br />
So with Aminu, the ideal combination would be to sign Carlos Delfino, Jason Maxiell and Zaza Pachulia all to veteran minimum contracts, with another summer league player.<br />
<br />
[u]Lineup configuration[/u]:<br />
PG: Nash, Blake, Morris<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">ATLANTA HAWKS</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Lucas Nogueira (16), Dennis Schroeder (17)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Mike Muscala (44), Raul Neto (47)</span><br />
<br />
Noguiera ranked 21st in my algorithm so he's a solid buy with that pick. Schroeder, however, was considered undrafted in my algorithm (78th). It's harder to tell with players who don't play high level German competition, but his statistics this past season with the Phantoms didn't show many NBA-translatable skills at all. At 44th Mike Muscala was a massive steal, he ranked 23rd in my algorithm. Raul Neto doesn't make NBA viable at all (89th). So overall, a good pick (Noguiera), a bad pick (Schroeder) and a steal (Muscala).<br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">BOSTON CELTICS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Kelly Olynyk (13)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Colton Iverson (53)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
Olynyk screams mediocrity and ranked 28th in my algorithm, and was a massive reach at 13. Colton Iverson ranked 82nd in my algorithm. This was a horrid draft for Boston.<br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">BROOKLYN NETS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Mason Plumlee (22)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: None</span><br />
<br />
Plumlee gave the illusion that he dropped to 22nd, but face it, there's a good reason he dropped: he's not that good at all. He ranked 45th in my algorithm, one of the worst ranks of supposed lottery picks, so even at #22 he might be a reach. He's not even the best Duke prospect for the NBA. Bad draft for Brooklyn.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">CHARLOTTE BOBCATS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Cody Zeller (4)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: None</span><br />
<br />
Zeller was a good pick, also ranking 4th in my algorithm, but when a team drafts in the lottery, especially this high, you have to look at what prospects were missed. Nerlens Noel was the biggest miss, obviously, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was also underrated as well. So this was merely an OK pick as a result.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">CHICAGO BULLS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Tony Snell (20)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Erik Murphy (49)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
This was an awful draft for Chicago. Snell ranked 46th and was clearly a major reach at #20, and Erik Murphy ranked 75th and was drafted at 49th.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">CLEVELAND CAVALIERS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Anthony Bennett (1), Sergey Karasev (19)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Carrick Felix (33)</span><br />
<br />
Ah, the draft everyone is talking about. My beef with Bennett is that I'm not even sure if he has the skills of a power forward--his passing/ballhandling was on par with centers with UNLV--and that really made him take a nosedive into the 25th best prospect. While I like Karasev in general, I also thought he was a reach and was the 35th best player, due to what I think are some severe athletic limitations. Felix was a complete overdraft at 33rd when he was the 88th best prospect--even to most draftniks, he wasn't projected to be drafted. This was a bad draft for the Cavs.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">DALLAS MAVERICKS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Shane Larkin (18)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Ricky Ledo (43)</span><br />
<br />
Larkin was an overdraft at #18--he ranked 36th in my algorithm, and I can't see him as a starter in this league. Ledo is this year's mystery meat--no real stats to work off of, but good frame, and supposedly good scoring/ballhandling combination in the vein of JR Smith. I think he could be a steal, but Larkin was a bad pick.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">DENVER NUGGETS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: None</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Erick Green (46), Joffrey Lauvergne (55)</span><br />
<br />
Green was the 49th best pick in my algorithm, so the Nuggets got level value with him. Lauvergne won't see the light of the day in the league as the 99th best player in my algorithm, but for a late 2nd rounder, that won't matter. OK draft day by the Nuggets.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">DETROIT PISTONS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (8)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Tony Mitchell (37), Peyton Siva (56)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
The Pistons got a massive steal with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who ranked 2nd in my algorithm. Mitchell was framed as a steal by draftniks as he was considered a late 1st round pick for the longest time, and my algorithm, which typically loves athletic jumping jacks who pump the sort of athletic stats that Mitchell does, just couldn't overlook the combination of his massive regression combined with his lack of ballhandling/shooting giving him massive tweener status, and had him ranked 69th. Peyton Siva was ranked 74th but it doesn't matter that late in the draft.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Nemanja Nedovic (30)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: None</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
I know to a lot of scouts, Nedovic looks like the second coming of Goran Dragic, with slippery shifty good athleticism and good size. But Nedovic has been around the block and has accrued a lot of unimpressive high level European stats, and is a shooting guard by nature. Nedovic was ranked 86th in my algorithm and was drafted 30th in a massive reach. Bad draft by Golden State.<br />
<br />
<br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">HOUSTON ROCKETS</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: None</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Isaiah Canaan (34)</span><br />
<br />
Canaan was a bit of a reach who ranked 51st in my algorithm, and could be overrated. Poor draft.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">INDIANA PACERS</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Solomon Hill (23)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: None</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
Indiana had an incredibly poor draft, and was one of the few teams to draft a undrafted player in my algorithm in the first round. That was Solomon Hill, ranked 65th in my algorithm and widely perceived to be overdrafted by every draftnik, so this was an awful draft. This follows another obvious overdraft of Miles Plumlee, so if not for the second round steal of Orlando Johnson last year Larry Bird would really have been perceived as a bad drafter, even despite having had drafts/draft day trades of Paul George, Lance Stephenson, Danny Granger and Roy Hibbert. But awful draft this go around.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Reggie Bullock (25)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: None</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br />
Bullock was probably within the range of my algorithm for being drafted (33rd), but typically within that algorithm range you're probably expecting a role player. That's what the Clippers are getting here. OK drafting here.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">LOS ANGELES LAKERS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: None</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Ryan Kelly (48)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
Finally! The Lakers were one of the very few teams to get a massive draft day steal, and Kelly was one at 9th in my algorithm. This was an incredible value pick. Excellent drafting.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: None</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Jamaal Franklin (41), Janis Timma (60)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
Franklin was perceived as the steal of the draft, having been perceived as a 20s pick, but I was never high on him in the first place, mostly because, between his lack of a jumper and lack of handles/passing, I saw him as a 6'5" PF. Still, everything else seems very good with him, but in the aggregate he ranked 47th--within range of this being a solid pick based on value. Janis Timma was not in my algorithm and at 60th, no one cares. Ok draft for Memphis.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">MIAMI HEAT </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: None</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: James Ennis (50)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
Ennis is one of the other major steals of the draft, ranking has a late lottery pick (14th) in my algorithm. The Heat got a massive steal by trading for him, and the rich get richer. He can be another early Dorell Wright clone for them, before he wasted his athleticism by threes-binging.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">MILWAUKEE BUCKS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Giannis Antetokounmpo (15)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Nate Wolters (38)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
Adetokoubo was drafted right where he should be (had him 16th in my algorithm) and Wolters was another major steal, as he ranked 12th in my algorithm and might even have some starter potential in the league, I bet. Excellent draft by Milwaukee.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Shabazz Muhammad (14), Gorgui Dieng (21),</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Lorenzo Brown (52), Bojan Dubljevic (59)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
That was an awful draft in general by Minnesota. Shabazz is the worst lottery-perceived talent in my algorithm, even ranking as undrafted (77th) there largely because his passing/ballhandling are in line with PFs. He's so eerily reminiscent to a Nick Young/DeMar DeRozan clone, in a bad way, and they picked him in 14th. He fell because his game just doesn't jibe well for the league. Gorgui Dieng has so many issues--Louisville is awful at producing first round talent, he's super old and can't score at all--and ranked 38th in my algorithm. This was another clear overdraft. Lorenzo Brown (50th) got drafted right where he should have been, as was Bojan Dubljevic (54th), but no one will expect much out of those at all. Awful draft.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">NEW ORLEANS PELICANS </span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: None</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Pierre Jackson (42)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
The move everyone is clamoring about is how they traded Nerlens Noel and another high lottery pick for the rights to Jrue Holiday. Personally I think Holiday is incredibly underrated, particularly on defense, and that's a valuable trait to have from a player so young and a top option. On offense, while he still insists on too many mid-range shots and appears turnover prone, there's still very good value here. The problem is when you get to the financial implications of this, as top five draft picks under the rookie scale contract for five years can easily produce more bang for the buck than someone like Holiday could under a larger, fatter contract. So while I like Holiday, this could be a bit of a wash. Pierre Jackson ranked 37th in my algorithm, and with the slew of Isaiah Thomas, Nate Robinsons in the league, might have slight value. OK draft for the Pelicans.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">NEW YORK KNICKS</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Tim Hardaway Jr. (24)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: None</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
Hardaway Jr. is overrated as a first round draft pick, and scouts have already criticized his inability to put together a consistent offensive repertoire, as he'd oscillate between shooting well and poorly in spot-ups and off-the-dribble shots. He ranked 42nd in my algorithm so this was a reach. Poor draft.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Steven Adams (12), Andre Roberson (26)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Alex Abrines (32), Grant Jerrett (40)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
Mixed draft here. Adams was a reach (25th), as was Andre Roberson (41st)--Roberson in particular has drawn a ton of comparisons to a Matt Barnes type, but he lacks the passing ability, and many had projected him to be undrafted, even. Alex Abrines rated as a late second rounder (56th), so that's three reaches right there. The real steal of these picks might be Grant Jerrett at #40--he ranked 7th in my algorithm, and I think there's massive potential out of him, as perhaps a better Channing Frye type. So this was a reasonable draft overall for the Thunder.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span>
Oladipo was a reach at 2nd, as he ranked 18th in my algorithm, largely because he spent three years in college already. Osby wasn't even in my 100 prospects, so I don't expect much from him. Bad draft by Orlando.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">PHILADELPHIA 76ERS </span><br />
<br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 1: Nerlens Noel (6), Michael Carter-Williams (11)</span><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: #eaeeff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;">Round 2: Arsalan Kazemi (54)</span><br />
<br />
Philadelphia had the best draft of any team. Every single one of their picks was a value pick. Nerlens was the best value pick--#1 in my algorithm. While he doesn't compare to Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving, he's still very good, and Kentucky has a good track record of producing NBA prospects. Michael Carter-Williams ranked 8th in my algorithm and was drafted 11th, but of course there's that Syracuse fudge factor, which is one of the worst among schools churning many 1st round draft prospects. But still, this could be a value pick here. Kazemi<br />

This is based on a win-shares argument, the amount of win shares a player accumulates weighted by the number of games they play. So there's a longevity factor, a winning factor (accounted for by win shares), and the extrapolation is that the defense would come from this winning factor. And of course, win shares is built upon the PER, or primarily, offense argument. So this is a reasonable encapsulation of a player's built-in value over the course of their career. Many thanks to basketballreference for such data.<br />

<br />
We get a very clear encapsulation of team effectiveness charting drafts from the turn of the century on-wards. From 2000 to the 2012 NBA drafts. This encapsulates a majority of NBA players, typically players up to age 35 by now, so it encompasses the majority of NBA players in the league right now.<br />
<br />
Below is just the ranking for the pure drafting ability of teams from 2000 onwards. This shows whether a team is good at drafting only, but it doesn't account for the other variable (draft day trades) so it is unreliable. But, just for reference, here it is below:<br />

So as seen above, there's a lot of movement between the "actual drafting" and just "the drafting". Some of our hunches are confirmed--San Antonio is excellent at drafting, and it's not even close--but Denver, Indiana, Miami and Philadelphia is also up there. In terms of the bottom five, we see Washington, the LA Clippers, Milwaukee, Minnesota and Charlotte populating this. A frequently asked question is whether good drafting/bad drafting correlates with winning/losing, respectively. Not necessarily, but more or less, this correlation somewhat holds. But notice the good drafting teams have been able to cultivate their "homegrown" players--players they've drafted--into winning environments, so those players tend to last longer on the same team.<br />
<br />
Look no further with San Antonio--Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili have played only with SAS throughout their careers, and Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, and possibly Gary Neal/Tiago Splitter are in position to do the same. Indiana reared up Paul George, Danny Granger, and Roy Hibbert. Philadelphia has Thaddeus Young, Jrue Holiday, and Evan Turner. On the flip end, Charlotte has a bunch of homegrowns--Gerald Henderson, Bismack Biyombo, etc, but they are all questionable players and don't contribute to a winning environment.<br />
<br />
So without further ado, let's analyze this team by team:<br />

San Antonio is an excellent drafting team--they're always drafting the lowest, on average, of any team since 2000, but they tend to extract very good role player even that far. They're the team that subscribes to the maxim that I revealed in my previous draft study--that even in the late 1st round, the talent level isn't all that different from what you'd see in the late lotto. And that's proven with excellent gems they've found such as Tony Parker, George Hill, Tiago Splitter, Beno Udrih and Ian Mahinmi. No one does it like the Spurs--in particular, Parker and Hill were great finds late in the first round. Even with their draft day trades, there was an indirect trade of Leandro Barbosa and John Salmons, two solid players, but they got back Kawhi Leonard in return, who provided even greater value than the both of them combined, so their score even rose because of that. And that's not even accounting for their 2nd round picks.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
So this post is what I like to call "reverse engineering" the draft process. In my mock drafts, I have used what I call "forward engineering"--advanced stats with fudge factors given to athletic traits--rebounding, defensive playmaking, and other NBA translatable factors like age (smaller the better), player improvement from past season and mutual exclusion factors (threes+free throws). We'll bring that up at the end of the post to get a consolidate assessment based on this forward and reverse engineering combination.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But what is this "reverse engineering"? This time, we're going to use the past--namely, the past drafts, an use history to set the precedent for what players--using age, positional profile, and college they came from--to see if they have a non-statistical template that looks good or bad for the NBA. Because, as we all know, the statistical template isn't everything--it tends to be illuminating in identifying some sleepers, but there's also a fair share of misfires. So we need to account for this factor, and combine it with the statistics. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another note: I won't post all the players in the "reverse engineering" process because there's a ton of them. For college players alone, I have about 330 data points to work with. Just like with the "forward engineering", I won't share the statistical formulas. So, without further ado:</div>
<div>
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div>
<b><u>COLLEGE RATERS:</u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So the first college rankings are based on the player value since they have entered the league multiplied by the number of first round prospects that particular college has churned out since 2000:</div>

This above chart is useful for which college programs are excellent at attracting prospects that are able to have the talent (or have the college to maximize them) such that they are able to land in the first round. It might not necessarily reflect the prospect's talent, but reflects on the college itself.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But perhaps the real value comes from analyzing the player's average production value, rather than looking at the number of prospects churned out, as that reveals a different picture:</div>

Now this chart is way more illuminating: based on our <a href="http://jorkvsbball.blogspot.com/2013/05/subjective-nba-draft-bust-o-meter.html">previous post</a>, we've identified the production ranges that fall with player types. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7 ~ VERY GOOD ROLE PLAYER</div>
<div>
6 ~GOOD ROLE PLAYER</div>
<div>
5 ~REASONABLE ROLE PLAYER</div>
<div>
4 ~ROLE PLAYER </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3 ~OK ROLE PLAYER</div>
<div>
2 ~SUBPAR ROLE PLAYER</div>
<div>
1 ~FRINGE NBA PLAYER</div>
<div>
0 ~BUSTS</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What does the player productiveness rater tell us?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marquette, Wake Forest, Florida, Arizona, and UCLA are the top five NBA talent level churners.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Among schools that deliver at least role players (NBA rating of four above), and have churned out at least six NBA first round picks, Florida, Arizona, UCLA, Georgia Tech, Texas, Kentucky, Ohio State, Washington, and UConn, in that order, produce reasonable NBA talent.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Things start becoming dicier with those who have NBA ratings between 3-4: this includes Stanford, UNC, Duke, Memphis, and Michigan State. Their systems might work for college, but they might mask NBA level talent.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The schools with ratings below 3 who churn out a ton of prospects are the ones to be super wary of: these include Kansas and Syracuse. Their systems do a great job of maximizing their prospect draft value, but do an excellent job of hiding the prospect's talent for the NBA, for sure. Both of these schools, Syracuse in particular, are notorious for doing this.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In addition, teams need to be wary of these bottom five NBA talent level churners: Boston College, NC State, Iowa State, Gonzaga and Louisville. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rule of thumb: go for Marquette players. Avoid Louisville players, another school that maximizes draft prospect value but hides the prospect's talent level for the NBA.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

So the next step is to cut through the 2000-2012 1st round draft clutter and isolate by the player templates that have tended to succeed at the league at the time they are drafted:</div>

So, the 19-year old forwards tend to do best in the league, while the 23 year olds tend to do the worst.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But more illuminating is if we analyze this by position: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>For a power forward, the younger, the better. It's roughly a linear decrease by age, with the exception that 23 year old drafted PFs (seniors) tend to do better than 22 year old drafted PFs (juniors). Of note is that 19 year old and 20 year old PFs tend to be gold (freshman, sophomore PFs).</li>
<li>For a small forward, the younger, the better as well, and again it's roughly a linear decrease by age, although 22 year old SFs (seniors) are slightly better than 21 year old SFs (juniors). 19 year old SFs are gold, while 23 year old SFs (seniors) are in the bottom five, and might be guys to generally avoid.</li>
<li>The point guard's sweet spot is at age 20 (freshman), as it's gold, an it sees a linear decrease up to age 22. Super young freshmen PGs at age 19 don't seem to fare as well, and 23 year old PGs (seniors) are the worst prototype in the list, and the ones to easily avoid.</li>
<li>Centers are more or less clustered on the upper end of this list, with super young freshmen centers at age 19 generally being gold, although sophomore (21) and freshmen centers (20), in that order, are still very viable. The one to really avoid is the 23 year old center, which is the second worst prototype in the league.</li>
<li>Shooting guard prospects are some of the hardest value picks to find in the league. None of them tend to be gold, but the prototypes that seem to work the best are the seniors (23 year old) and the freshmen (20 year olds). Every other SG prototype is somewhere near the bottom, with junior SGs (22) and super young freshmen SGs (19) being the types to seemingly avoid, interestingly enough. SG is the only position where an advanced age might actually be better.</li>
</ul>

Really, it's hard to make any sort of determinate conclusions on this, since there's not often enough data, but we can isolate the ones that have "awfuls and poors" next to them or have multiple awfuls, or multiple top fives, or top fives and goods.</div>

Let's compare this to the mock. This might further validate Grant Jerrett as THE STEAL of the draft. He's ranked #7th in my mock, and on top of that is the only prospect that looks excellent from a historical scale. That's incredibly rare. People have had only one season of data to judge, but there's a whole lot to like here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nerlens Noel (#1) and Otto Porter (#3) further validate their spots in the draft. There's virtually no bust potential both forward and reverse engineering their cases.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Myck Kabongo (#10) is another guy who might be a real steal. He has a good reverse engineering template and he can play for the NBA, based on the stats.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
DeShaun Thomas (#57) doesn't look like a NBA player at all based on his stats, and frankly he's a 6'7" PF, but that's already accounted for in his stats. He might be somewhat underrated base on this.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm just not sure about Victor Oladipo (#19) at all, his reverse engineered template doesn't help the case. </div>
<div>
Same for Christian Watford (#45), who might be worse than that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ben McLemore (#5) has the ability to play in the league, but accounting for his template and the Kansas fudge factor, man, maybe he's overrated a bit. Richard Howell (undrafted), further cements that with his reverse engineered template.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The ones that look awful include James Southerland (#41), who might be proving why he's going undrafted in most mocks. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jeff Withey (#6) is a favorite, but that template is why most people have him going in the 20s. He looks to have NBA translatable skills, but the template suggests that he doesn't.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gorgui Dieng (#40) could possibly be the most overrated of them all. The forward engineering stats aren't high on him, and on top of that he has the worst template possible for reverse engineering. </div>

Below, built off from the previous article (and improved from the previous article):<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
What are the results of the findings below? You want to draft the first overall pick, because there's a good chance you're getting a super role player/all star hybrid, at the very least.<br />
<br />
Picks 1-5 at least comes up with a good role player as well, and picks 6-10 comes up with a role player at the least, so they're valuable.<br />
<br />
Where you don't want to draft? 11-15. There's very little bang for the buck at this range, and in fact, from my study below, drafting 11-15 doesn't tend to be much different at all from drafting 26-30!!! In fact, drafting 26-30 is optimal in a typical draft, there's great steal potential there. Drafting 16-20 isn't that ideal either, and drafting 21-25 is okay for some bang for the buck. But at this range, you'd typically get somewhere between a subpar and an OK role player on average. So that's the rule: if you have a late lottery pick, break it into two late 1st round picks, or something.<br />
<br />
>12: SUPERSTAR, 10-12: ALL STAR, 9-10: SUPER ROLE PLAYER/ALL STAR HYBRID; 8-9: SUPER ROLE PLAYER, 7-8 VERY GOOD ROLE PLAYER, 6-7 GOOD ROLE PLAYER, 5-6 REASONABLE ROLE PLAYER, 4-5 ROLE PLAYER, 3-4 OK ROLE PLAYER, 2-3 SUBPAR ROLE PLAYER, 1-2 FRINGE NBA PLAYER, 0-1 BUST, Negative ABSOLUTE BUST, No numbers POSSIBLE BUST<br />

Nothing much to be said here. All of these guys were mostly drafted within the first five picks of the draft, and only one (Amare Stoudemire) was drafted beyond that, and he was a huge steal. These guys proved to be cornerstone types that you can build around. </div>

Now there's more variance with this, but these are still incredibly valuable players, particularly since they can be scattered throughout the draft, so there's great steal potential in finding these hybrid types. Particularly notable steals here include Kenneth Faried, David Lee, Kevin Martin, Gilbert Arenas and Rajon Rondo.</div>

It isn't an ideal scenario to get a super role player with a #1 pick, but it's still a good investment. Greg Oden being an anomaly--he actually was producing reasonable value, then he got injured for good. Steals here: Serge Ibaka, Ryan Anderson, Anderson Varejao, George Hill.</div>

These are the players where within the top five, you think there's less bang for the buck than expected: this particularly applies to Andrew Bogut and Emeka Okafor and some extent to Mike Conley and Jason Richardson, but there's still value because they aren't close to busts. Just not the All star people might have expected. On the flip side, there's great chances for great picks, with Gerald Wallace, Tiago Splitter, Josh Howard, Nicolas Batum and Tayshaun Prince all cashing in here.</div>

Here we start growing skeptical about players drafted within the top five. That means Mike Miller, Devin Harris, Jonas Valanciunas, but particularly Mike Dunleavy and Kenyon Martin have somewhat underachieved relative to their draft position. That isn't to say they're busts, because they have all amounted to good role players, but they weren't the possible stars that others made them out to be. Steals here include Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson and Jared Sullinger.</div>

Drew Gooden, John Wall, Tyreke Evans, Bradley Beal, Jeff Green, Ricky Rubio and Raymond Felton are all the guys who are relatively underachieving relative to their draft position here. Perhaps we can discount Wall, Evans, Beal and Rubio because they're still on their rookie contracts, but Gooden, Green and Felton for sure have relatively underachieved to their draft position. There's great ability for role player stealing here however--with a 1/3 chance, with Sam Dalembert, Jared Dudley, Rudy Fernandez, Delonte West, arren Collison, Nenad Krstic, Boris Diaw, Arron Afflalo, Morris Peterson, and Leandro Barbosa all found here.</div>

<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
1) Anthony Davis--On offense, Davis has a pretty poor skill canvas as far as power forwards are concerned, and he also has a poor jumper although he mostly prefers to play around the basket, but his foundation here is very good since he dunks frequently and draws fouls. Defensively, Davis is a mixed bag--while he's second on his team in hard defense, his soft defense is lacking.<br />
<br />
2) Michael Kidd-Gilchrist--Kidd-Gilchrist has a pretty good skill canvas for a SF, and he's a poor jumpshooter who plays around the rim most of the time, where he dunks frequently and draws fouls. What's particularly amazing is that Kidd-Gilchrist is a top notch defender both in hard and soft defense, although he's way better in hard defense (leads his team in it). He's an optimized athlete on both offense and defense, joining about 20 other NBA players, which gives him a lot of potential going forward.<br />
<br />
3) Bradley Beal--Beal has a pretty poor skill canvas for a SG, and moreover operates as someone with a slight identity crisis on offense--he's a high volume jumpshooter and while not super poor, is pretty borderline as far as shooting goes this season. But, there's a lot of subliminal things to like about Beal's offense--he's an "offensive athletic jumpshooter", and the only rookie representative in this list--meaning that whenever he sees the rim, despite being a jumpshooter, he does a good job of drawing fouls and dunking. Moreover, Beal is a top notch defender in both soft and hard defense--he isn't uber at any, but is very good at both. This means that Beal is somewhat of an optimized athlete on both ends of the floor, and that gives him a ton of potential going forward even through a questionable jumper.<br />
<br />
4) Dion Waiters--Waiters has an excellent skill level for his position and operates mostly as a slasher with a poor jumper. But as a slasher, he dunks and draws fouls very well. The problem is, his defense is flat out atrocious--both soft and hard, but in particularly the soft, as he's Cleveland's worst soft defender. This gives the impression that Waiters is strictly an offensive athlete, joining only about 12 other players in the league.<br />
<br />
5) Thomas Robinson--Robinson has a pretty poor skill canvas as far as PFs go, and he's also a mixed bag on offense and defense. He operates mostly as an inside scorer and has a poor jumper, but his inside scoring, while he dunks frequently, sees very little in foul drawing. Similarly, Robinson's defense is a mixed bag--while he's an able hard defender, he's bottom two among the Rockets in soft defense. At this point there's nothing he can really hang his hat on either end, which is why he struggled getting minutes in his rookie year. Some bust potential.<br />
<br />
6) Damian Lillard--Lillard has a good skill level for a PG and operates as a high volume, great shooting jumpshooter. When he attacks the rim, he also dunks frequently and draws fouls somewhat. The problem is on the other end--Lillard is both an awful soft and hard defender; while he isn't bottom two in his team in either one, this means that he's an offensive athlete. While he's better than Waiters because he's a very good jumpshooter with offensive athletic traits, rather than just being an inside finisher, this limits his overall upside somewhat.<br />
<br />
7) Harrison Barnes--Barnes has a poor skill level for a SF and operates mostly as a slasher with a poor jumper, but he optimizes his finishing ability by dunking and drawing fouls well. The problem is that his defense is atrocious--he's weak in both soft and hard defense, but particularly on hard defense, where he's bottom two in the Warriors in this category. This means that he's mostly an offensive athlete, limiting his overall upside somewhat.<br />
<br />
8) Terrence Ross--Ross has a poor skill canvas for his position, but moreover has an identity crisis on offense where he's a high volume, but poor shooting jumpshooter, and to boot when he attacks the rim he seriously struggles to draw fouls, a continuation of college trends, although he had more dunks than layups (still he didn't meet my 50 layup cutoff, which shows how much of a jumpshooter he really is). Ross is a nondescript overall defender in both hard and soft defense. He was completely nonviable on offense and didn't play good enough defense to make up for it, so it wasn't surprising he got few minutes. He's got great bust potential.<br />
<br />
9) Andre Drummond--Drummond has a good skill level for a center, which is quite amazing, because he's a rookie and he was considered raw out of college. He's mostly an inside guy with a poor jumper, but he dunks frequently and draws fouls. Also, for a rookie, he's a top notch defender--both in soft and hard defense, but particularly in hard defense where he leads Detroit. It's rare to see an optimized athletic center on both ends of the court, and along with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and John Henson he's the only other rookie among the twenty or so players in this list. As a center in particular, this means he has cornerstone potential.<br />
<br />
10) Austin Rivers--Rivers has an excellent skill canvas for a SG, and operates mostly as a a below-the-rim slasher with a poor jumper--and his jumper's incredibly poor, being in the bottom five of SGs in this category (fifth worst). He does draw fouls. Rivers is a nondescript overall defender, soft and hard. Rivers' below-the-rim slashing with foul drawing has some potential, but the only real standout athletic marker is foul drawing, so there isn't much upside with him.<br />
<br />
11) Meyers Leonard--Leonard has a poor skill level for his position, and operates mostly as a jumpshooter where he actually has a good jumper. For a jumpshooter, he draws fouls a little bit and dunks a lot, so he's somewhat of an offense-athletic jumpshooter, if a bit borderline. On the flip end, Leonard is completely awful and unready on defense, being incredibly weak on both soft and hard defense--he's the worst in Portland in hard defense, and second worst in soft defense. He's very much an offensive athlete, more or less, but his defense is even more awful than the other offensive athletes above.<br />
<br />
12) Jeremy Lamb--Did not play enough minutes.<br />
<br />
13) Kendall Marshall--When doing my algorithms, I found Marshall to be one of the worst lottery picks we've seen in a long time. Possibly ever. Why? For starters, he's a high volume, poor shooting jumpshooter with an identity crisis, with an awful skill level for his position, PG. With the jumper, in particular, he's the third-worst shooting jumpshooter among PGs, that's how awful it is. Even though he doesn't attack the rim, he's possibly the least athletic PG--he has one of the lowest free throw rates for his position, and has zero dunks this year despite standing 6'4"--if he's this unathletic as a rookie, when he ages it will get gruesome. And that's even the worst of it--Marshall is an absolutely atrocious defender, on par with Meyers Leonard, in both soft and hard defense. He's worst in Phoenix in soft defense, and second worst in hard defense, so there's absolutely zero upside on this end of the floor. There's absolutely no strength here and he has an identity crisis, so he's easily one of the safest picks to be a bust in this draft.<br />
<br />
14) John Henson--Henson believe it or not actually has good skill level for a PF, and operates mostly as an inside player with a poor jumper. And man, that jumper is poor--Henson's the fourth worst jumpshooter among PFs. Still, Henson dunks frequently and draws fouls somewhat. But again, here's another rookie that's a top notch defender--Henson excels at both soft and hard defense, in particular in hard defense where he's second in that category in Milwaukee. He's been incredibly underrated and is actually a rare breed, in that he's an optimized athlete at both ends of the court, where only about 20 other NBA players can say that. And 1 of three rookies. He was highly valued from my algorithm, so it's no surprise he's flashing this potential here.<br />
<br />
15) Moe Harkless--Harkless has a poor skill canvas for a SF, and operates mostly as a slasher with a poor jumper. But his slashing is a mixed bag--while he dunks frequently he doesn't draw fouls. Harkless is a nondescript defender on the other end. Overall, he's mostly just a dunker, and while people have lauded him for a good rookie season I still think it can go either way. He doesn't seem terribly skilled on offense and his defense isn't as good as his frame would suggest.<br />
<br />
16) Royce White--Did not play enough minutes.<br />
<br />
17) Tyler Zeller--Zeller has a poor skill canvas for a center, and operates mostly as a high volume, good jumpshooting center. But that's where the strengths end. Zeller's rare at-rim attempts see little dunking and few foul drawing for his position, and on defense he's extremely awful in both soft and hard, but in particular with the hard defense, where he's the worst on Cleveland. Zeller joins one of three rookies, and among 34 NBA players, to be lumped into the "no defense, no athleticism" category. He's seriously deficient in athleticism and it's questionable whether he has enough to sustain himself in the league for a while.<br />
<br />
18) Terrence Jones--Did not play enough minutes.<br />
<br />
19) Andrew Nicholson--Nicholson has a poor skill canvas for a PF, and operates a high volume, good shooting jumpshooter. However, like Zeller, his rare at rim attempts see little dunking and few foul drawing for his position. On defense, he's mixed--he's a decent soft defender but the second worst hard defender in Orlando. He doesn't seem that athletic, besides the soft defense, so it's questionable whether he has enough to sustain himself in the league for a while.<br />
<br />
20) Evan Fournier--Did not meet my 50 layup cutoff, but man, looked good towards the end of the season.<br />
<br />
21) Jared Sullinger--Sullinger has a good skill canvas for a PF, and actually flashed a lot of potential before he went down in Boston. He's an infrequent jumpshooter, but a good one. Mostly, he operates as a below the rim inside finisher, although he struggles to draw fouls, which puts him in an ignoble class of 26 NBA players who mostly play around the rim but struggle to dunk or draw fouls. On defense, Sullinger is top notch in both hard and soft defense, but he particularly excels in soft defense where he's second in Boston. That's amazing for a rookie, but even more amazing for a rookie who isn't particularly athletic. There seems to be a reasonable foundation to be the next Zach Randolph or David Lee here, both of whom were among those 26 NBA players, so Sullinger, provided he stays upright, actually has a lot of two-way potential here.<br />
<br />
22) Fab Melo--Did not play enough minutes.<br />
<br />
23) John Jenkins--Jenkins has a poor skill canvas for a SG and operates as a high volume good shooting jumpshooter. But his rare attempts at the rim reveal him to be unathletic, with low free throw rates and dunk rates. On defense, Jenkins is somewhat mixed, but second worst in Atlanta in soft defense. He's strictly a jumpshooter in this league and is frankly an interchangeable player.<br />
<br />
24) Jared Cunningham<br />
25) Tony Wroten<br />
26) Miles Plumlee<br />
--Not enough minutes.<br />
<br />
27) Arnett Moultrie--Moultrie has an awful skill canvas for a PF, and operates mostly an inside player with a poor jumper. His inside game is mixed--while he dunks, he struggles to draw fouls. On defense, he's flat out atrocious--weak in both soft and hard defense, but particularly soft, where he's second worst in Philadelphia. He's an interchangeable player and can be out of the league pretty soon, given that there's not much to work with.<br />
<br />
28) Perry Jones<br />
29) Marquis Teague<br />
--Not enough minutes.<br />
<br />
30) Festus Ezeli--Ezeli has the second worst skill canvas in the league--second worst among centers. He mostly operates as an inside player, with a poor jumper--check that. Awful jumper--fifth worst among centers. Festus's offense is so horrible he was unable to meet my 50 layup cutoff, but he did have more dunks than layups, and a high free throw rate, so he's athletic. On defense, Festus is nondescript. He's incredibly raw on offense that he needs excellent defense to make up for that, but he doesn't bring that, so he might be out of the league soon.<br />
<br />
31) Jeff Taylor--Taylor has a poor skill canvas among SFs and operates mostly as a slasher with a poor jumper, but he has athletic traits--he draws fouls and dunks in doing so. Defensively, Taylor is very mixed--he's Charlotte's weakest hard defender but their third best soft defender. For a second round pick, he has a excellent foundation of inside offense and slight elements of defense, and that's good money for a role player.<br />
<br />
32) Tomas Satoransky--Europe.<br />
<br />
33) Bernard James--James has a poor skill level for a center and works as an inside player with a poor jumper, but he draws fouls somewhat although he didn't meet my 50 layup requirement to chart his dunk rate. On defense, he's awful on both soft and hard, but not bottom two in either one. He's a fringe NBA player, for sure, and there doesn't appear to be much to work with.<br />
<br />
34) Jae Crowder--Along with Kendall Marshall and Tyler Zeller, Crowder was the other rookie that stuck out to me as awful. Crowder has a poor skill level for a small forward and operates offensively with an identity crisis--he's a high volume, but poor shooting jumpshooter. In addition, on his rare ventures to the basket Crowder doesn't dunk much or draw fouls. Finally, Crowder's awful on both soft and hard defense, although he's not bottom two in Dallas in either one. He's one of 34 ignominous NBA players with no defense and no athleticism, including the two rookies mentioned above. On top of the identity crisis on offense, Crowder doesn't appear to be NBA material.<br />
<br />
35) Draymond Green--Green has a poor skill canvas for a small forward and operates with an identity crisis--he's a high volume but poor shooting jumpshooter, and looking deeper into his at rim attempts he struggles to dunk and draw fouls as well. But on defense he's extremely top notch on both soft and hard defense--first in soft defense, and second in hard defense, in Golden State. It's rare for someone this unathletic to play such great defense, especially for a rookie, and while his offense looks horrific between the lack of athleticism and the identity crisis his defense more than offsets it, especially for a second round pick. Steal.<br />
<br />
36) Orlando Johnson--Johnson has a poor skill canvas for a SG but operates as a high volume, good shooting jumpshooter. He doesn't draw fouls well and didn't meet my 50 layup criteria, so he appears to be below the rim in his attempts at the basket. But Johnson appears to be a top notch defender, yet another rookie who ranks in this department, particularly being second in Indiana in hard defense. Johnson's ability to drill jumpers and play top notch defense give him a lot of two-way potential role player aspect in this league, and he's a major steal (better than guys like Jeff Taylor/Moe Harkless/etc). He also ranked well in my college algorithm so I'm not surprised.<br />
<br />
37) Quincy Acy--Didn't meet 50 layup cutoff. Really good PER however.<br />
38) Quincy Miller<br />
39) Khris Middleton<br />
--Didn't play enough games.<br />
40) Will Barton--Didn't meet 50 layup cutoff. PER seems to hate him.<br />
41) Tyshawn Taylor<br />
--Didn't play enough games.<br />
<br />
42) Doron Lamb--Lamb has a poor skill canvas for a SG, and he mostly operates as a slasher with a poor jumper. Scratch that. Make that awful jumper. Third worst among SGs. Kind of surprising, given that he was billed as a shooter out of college. Lamb also struggles to draw fouls, and didn't meet my 50-layup cutoff, although it's presumed he lacks athleticism. On defense, Lamb is atrocious--awful at soft and hard, and in fact bottom two in both categories for Milwaukee. He doesn't have any strengths at all which makes him out of the league material soon. As predicted by my algorithm as well.<br />
<br />
43) Mike Scott<br />
--Didn't play enough games.<br />
<br />
44) Kim English--English has a poor skill level for a SG and operates mostly as a slasher with a poor jumper. He draws fouls well but didn't meet my 50 layup cutoff for dunks. On defense, he's atrocious in both soft and hard defense, in particular being the worst in soft defense for Detroit. There's some slashing potential but he needs to develop his offense to offset his defense, otherwise he's out of the league.<br />
<br />
45) Justin Hamilton<br />
--Didn't play<br />
<br />
46) Darius Miller--Miller has a poor skill level for a SF but operates as a high volume good jumpshooter. Make that great jumpshooter. Miller's the second best jumpshooter among SFs in the league. Looking closer at his at rim attempts Miller struggles to draw fouls and didn't meet my 50 layup cutoff, and on defense he's nondescript. Still, a 2nd round pick who shoots like that while playing average defense? That has a role in the league, for sure.<br />
<br />
Other notables....<br />
<br />
49) Kyle O'Quinn--O'Quinn actually has a good skill canvas for a center and operates as an inside player, although he doesn't draw fouls and didn't meet my 50-layup cutoff. However, he's another one of those rookies who plays top notch defense, both soft and hard, particularly being second in Orlando in hard defense. Just for his defense alone he's a major steal at this position.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Other rookies:</u></b><br />
<br />
Jonas Valanciunas--Valanciunas has poor skill level for a center, but operates as an inside player who draws fouls and dunks frequently, and believe it or not he actually has a good jumper even if he infrequently takes them. On defense he's nondescript. He's worth investing in because unlike Meyers Leonard, he has an athletic inside game with some jumper ability and he doesn't hemorrhage on defense, even if he's not top notch there either.<br />
<br />
Kyle Singler--Singler has a poor skill level for a SF, and operates predominantly as a slasher, although he makes an ignominous list of about 30 NBA players here--he doesn't dunk or draw fouls. However, in his rare attempts at shooting from the outside he's a good jumpshooter. He's a nondescript defender. Overall, perhaps he should switch up his shot selection to more jumpers, because there isn't much that is viable or a go-to talent for the NBA here.<br />
<br />
Chris Copeland--Copeland has poor skill level for a SF and operates as a slasher, but he doesn't dunk often nor does he draw fouls for the position. He actually has a good jumper in his rare attempts at shooting from outside. Copeland plays atrocious defense--soft and hard--and while he's not in the bottom two of either in New York, he's among over thirty NBA players who have the combination of no athleticism and no defense. He's not really NBA material, but could improve somewhat if he'd take more jumpers instead of slashing to the basket.<br />
<br />
Alexey Shved--Shved has an excellent skill canvas for SG, but has an identity crisis--he's a high volume, poor shooting jumpshooter. But there's more hope than your typical identity crisis player here--Shved actually is an "offensive athletic jumpshooter"--which means that in his rare attempts at the rim, he does a good job of dunking and drawing fouls, part of a unique select class of about 20 NBA players. On defense, Shved is nondescript, soft and hard. Overall, Shved on the surface looks to be a disappointment offensively, but that offensive-athletic trait along with the excellent skill canvas is hard to ignore and gives him a reasonable platform to improve off of.<br />
<br />
Brian Roberts--Roberts has good skill level for a PG and operates a high volume, good shooting jumpshooter. However, in his rare at rim attempts Roberts struggles to draw fouls and didn't meet my 50 layup minimum cutoff, and also he plays awful soft and hard defense, even if he isn't bottom two in either one in New Orleans. Still, there's a severe lack of athleticism at work here, and Roberts strikes as a journeyman sharpshooter who will try to use offense to make up for his lack of defense. <br />
<br />
Donatas Motiejunas--Motiejunas has poor skill level for a PF, and actually has an identity crisis as a high volume, poor shooting jumpshooter. Rare at-rim attempts show Motiejunas struggles to draw fouls and he didn't meet up my 50-layup minimum, and on defense he's atrocious in both soft and hard, but in particular with hard defense where he's the worst hard defender in Houston. Motiejunas literally has no go-to aspect in the NBA and everything appears to be a weakness, so he might be out of the league soon.<br />
<br />
Patrick Beverley--Beverley has a poor skill canvas for a PG, and he operates as a high volume, good shooting jumpshooter. Beverley also does a good job of drawing fouls in his rare attempts at the rim, and although he didn't meet my 50 layup cutoff, he appears to be in the offensive-athlete mold and has had dunk reels before. Moreover, Beverley, for a rookie, is a top notch defender in both soft and hard, but particularly soft, where he leads Houston in soft defense. He appears to maximize his athleticism on both ends of the floor for a jumpshooter, and is joining that select class of about 20 NBA players. He's vastly underrated on both ends of the floor.<br />
<br />
Nando DeColo--DeColo has poor skill level for a SG, and operates mostly as an inside slasher with a poor jumper. However, his slashing game sees few dunks and foul drawing ability, putting him in an exclusive ignominous class of offensive-unathletic slashers of about 30 NBA players. DeColo is a nondescript defensive player. Overall, he doesn't really look like NBA material.<br />
<br />
Victor Claver--Claver has an awful skill level for a SF, and operates as a slasher with a poor jumper. However, he doesn't draw fouls as a slasher, and he didn't meet the 50-layup cutoff for tabulating his dunk rate. Claver also plays atrocious defense in both soft and hard aspects, in particular being the worst soft defender in Portland. Overall, he doesn't really look like NBA material.<br />
<br />
DeQuan Jones--Jones has a poor skill canvas for a SF and acts as a slasher with a poor jumper, but while he dunks often he doesn't draw fouls well. Jones also plays atrocious defense, both soft and hard, but in particular being Orlando's worst soft defender. He's somewhat of an offensive athlete and largely just a dunker, so he's interchangeable and likely not NBA material for long.<br />
<br />
Chris Johnson--Johnson has an awful skill canvas for a PF, and operates as a inside finisher with a poor jumper. Johnson draws fouls well but didn't meet my 50-layup minimum for dunks, but he's an awful soft/hard defender in particular being Minnesota's worst soft defender. He appears to be a fringe NBA player and not for long in this league, mostly based off his foul drawing and finishing.<br />
<br />
Pablo Prigioni--Prigioni has good skill level for a PG but moreover is a high volume, great shooting jumpshooter--in fact, he's 4th among PGs in the accuracy of his jumper. Prigioni is unathletic however--his rare at rim attempts doesn't see foul drawing and he has zero dunks, understandable though given his age. Defensively, Prigioni is top notch--he defends both soft/hard well, but in particular soft where he's second best in New York. He's got good skills, a sweet jumper, and is a top notch defender, so he's one of the more underrated rookies for sure.<br />

Let's look at pure jumpshooting ability, explained in further detail here in this graph: http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/jumpshootingmetric/Sheet1?:embed=y&:display_count=no<br />

Skill level rater:<br />
*This algorithm is a combination of a player's usage rate, assist rate, turnover rate and percentage of shots assisted. The lower the skill level, typically the player has a low usage rate/assist rate, high turnover rate, and are assisted more frequently. Higher skill levels has higher usage/assist rates and the player is assisted less.<br />
<br />
Without further ado:<br />

Then there's also the "hard" defensive stats--basically a combination of the player's defensive rebound rate and defensive playmaking (steals+blocks+charges) minus their fouling rate, so we can see their "hard" impact on defense. For the "hard" defense, we want to put all players across an even playing field--so I took their numbers and subtracted the average for that position from it (via Hoopdata's player stats) so we could standardize.<br />

<br />
To me, athleticism is most prevalent in two phases: on 1) offense, it constitutes one's ability to drive the basketball frequently as part of their shot composition, and dunk it frequently in their chances at the rim: <a href="http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/dunkshotsatrim/Sheet1?:embed=y&:display_count=no">http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/dunkshotsatrim/Sheet1?:embed=y&:display_count=no</a>. And on 2) defense, it involves several phases which were all tabulated earlier in this post: one's ability to muster rebounds, steals, blocks, charges and foul less, and also to actually get results in guarding on and off the basketball (aka forcing bricks). One can be athletic, but if you can't guard, you underachieve in rebounding, and you're a soft player who never attacks the rim and prefers to lay it up, well...that will be reflected in these charts. So, without further ado, I'd like to analyze a few players I find interesting.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Maximized offensive/defensive athletes:</u></b><br />
*Players who attack the rim and dunk frequently while playing both very good soft/hard defense. These players tend to have the most upside and room to grow in the future:<br />
<br />
1) Jrue Holiday, PG, PHI. Jrue's already a star, but he attacks the rim a tick above typical PGs, dunks relatively frequently, although he needs to work on his foul drawing ability. He also plays lockdown defense as established above.<br />
<br />
2) Eric Bledsoe, PG, LAC. Bledsoe's just a physical dynamo who represents these athleticism algorithms well, attacking the rim 3rd most among PGs and dunking 4th most among them, but also drawing fouls relatively well. Defensively we've already established him as lockdown, particularly on hard defense (rebounding and defensive playmaking) but his soft defense is also very good.<br />
<br />
3) DeMar DeRozan, SG, TOR. DeRozan attacks the rim, dunks, draws fouls and on defense he's surprisingly quite good in both the soft and hard defensive categories this season, although he's not in the top two of his team in either one (but still very good). Essentially, he's maximizing his athleticism. While there are concerns with the non-athletic parts of his offense which are holding him back, the fact that he's maximizing his athleticism gives him a lot of potential.<br />
<br />
4) Andre Iguodala, SG, DEN. Iggy's one of the most insane shooting guards because he basically plays like a power forward in a SG's body--over half of his shots are dunks whenever he gets to the rim, which is over double the next SG in the list, and he also draws fouls well. On defense he's top notch and particularly specializes in soft defense.<br />
<br />
5) Alec Burks, SG, UTA. Burks attacks the rim often, dunks, and draws fouls, and he's a very good soft/hard defender albeit not in the top two of either one within his team. Still, he maximizes his athleticism on both ends and has a lot of potential.<br />
<br />
6) Thabo Sefolosha, SG, OKC. Sefolosha gets to the rim and dunks fairly often as far as SGs go, although he doesn't draw fouls in the process. Defensively he's top notch particularly in soft defense where he defends shots well and has great +/- impact.<br />
<br />
7) Tony Allen, SG, MEM. Allen seriously looks to attack the basket as far as SGs go (2nd among SGs) and also dunks at a reasonable rate, and he draws fouls well, but he also plays soft/hard defense, particularly specializing in soft defense.<br />
<br />
8) Dwyane Wade, SG, MIA. Wade is special among SGs--he attacks the rim a lot for SGs but most of all is second (a very distant second) to Iggy in dunks per slash, and he draws fouls very well. But he's also a very good soft/hard defender with good impact, a rare case of a superstar who plays both offense and defense equally well.<br />
<br />
9) Wilson Chandler, SF, DEN.<br />
<br />
10) Kawhi Leonard, SF, SAS.<br />
<br />
11) LeBron James, SF, MIA.<br />

<b><u>Unathletic "Defensive" types:</u></b><br />
*Unathletic jumpshooter with good soft/hard defense, or "athletic" defensive traits.<br />
