Highlighted by his valuable two-way versatility, Aaron Gordon really looked sharp down the stretch into the NCAA tournament.<\/p>\n

He's unstoppable around the rim, whether it's off lobs, dump passes or offensive rebounds. In between, he's shown he can catch and slash to the rim and occasionally hit the spot-up jumper off the ball.<\/p>\n

But arguably his most glowing strength is his defense. Gordon finished No. 1 in\u00a0the country in\u00a0defensive win shares<\/a>, per sports-reference.com, thanks to his ability to defend the perimeter and man the post.<\/p>\n

Forget about the\u00a0Blake Griffin<\/a>\u00a0comparisons, because that's just not his game. Think Shawn Marion in his prime.<\/p>\n

Marcus Smart, whose allure stems from his intangibles as a winner and leader, exited the NCAA tournament without a win for the second time in as many years after a shoving incident with a fan earned him a three-game suspension.<\/p>\n

And he shot below 30 percent from downtown\u2014again.<\/p>\n

Still, Smart played well down the stretch for the most part. And when he's locked in, he's capable of taking over a game as a facilitator, scorer and defender. But it just wasn't the year he was anticipating. And with a stronger field than a year ago, his stock has taken a hit.<\/p>\n

ESPN's Chad Ford recently\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0(subscription required)\u00a0that "Not everyone is on board with him being a lottery pick."<\/p>\n

While that seems extreme, there's no doubt Smart could have trouble cracking the top six in 2014.<\/p>\n

Julius Randle was the last top prospect standing in the NCAA tournament, having played a major role in Kentucky's run to the national title game.<\/p>\n

He had a rough outing against Connecticut, but at this point, it's pretty clear what type of talent we're working with here. At 6'9", Randle has the mobility of a wing and the power to take over a game in the paint.<\/p>\n

He's established himself as a threat facing up, with his back to the rim and on the offensive glass.<\/p>\n

Next is adding a jumper to give him an extra avenue for his offensive game, as well as a shot he'll eventually need to complement his heavily interior-oriented attack.<\/p>\n

Regardless, he'll be right in that No. 4 to No. 8 mix assuming he officially declares for the draft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
