Kelly Oubre should get heavy minutes right away, given his scoring prowess as a 6'7" small forward.<\/p>\n

He's got good-looking physical tools for a future NBA wing, along with the ability to generate offense in a number of different ways. Oubre is at his best attacking the basket or swooping to the rack in the open floor.<\/p>\n

At this point, his jumper isn't very sharp\u2014Oubre's mechanics could use some fine-tuning, as he's vulnerable to bad misses from the perimeter.<\/p>\n

But his size, athleticism and offensive instincts should result in significant freshman production and first-round buzz.<\/p>\n

Scouts raved about Rondae Hollis-Jefferson's defensive potential and versatility following his freshman year at Arizona. He's got the size, length and quickness to lock down three positions on the floor.<\/p>\n

And Hollis-Jefferson has one of those live motors that never seems to fade.<\/p>\n

Offensively, his athleticism allows him to finish plays around the rim off cuts, slashes and line-drives to the rack.<\/p>\n

This year, he'll have to work on his shooting touch and shot-creating ability.<\/p>\n

If Hollis-Jefferson can add to his offensive repertoire, and ultimately become a bigger threat with the ball, his two-way potential should generate plenty of first-round or lottery noise.<\/p>\n

Playing in a loaded lineup as a freshman, Wayne Selden didn't have the greatest opportunity to showcase his game to the pros.<\/p>\n

As a sophomore, he should expect to be one of the more featured options in Kansas' offense.<\/p>\n

At 6'5" with a diesel 230-pound frame, Selden has tremendous size and strength for the 2-guard position. He's a threatening shooter from outside, and though not overly explosive or athletic, he's got terrific body control attacking the rim, along with the strength to finish through contact.<\/p>\n

He'll have to improve his one-on-one game and become a bigger threat with the ball, but Selden has some solid tools to work with for a projected off-guard and complementary scorer.<\/p>\n

Dakari Johnson emerged as an important piece in Kentucky's rotation down the stretch, having given it an option to go to down low for high-percentage looks.<\/p>\n

At 7'0", 265 pounds, he's an immoveable object in the paint. Johnson is simply a bully around the rim, where he gets excellent position by using his powerful body.<\/p>\n

He combines strength with touch and good footwork to finish around the key, though he's not much of a threat at the high post or facing up.<\/p>\n

Look for Johnson's touches in the post to increase as a sophomore, and the draft buzz surrounding him to pick up as the season progresses.<\/p>\n

Delon Wright came out of nowhere at Utah after playing junior college ball in San Francisco, and now he'll enter his senior year as a potential first-round pick.<\/p>\n

He put up numbers across the board\u2014Wright averaged 15.5 points, 6.8 boards and 5.3 assists per game. Tall, long and athletic, Wright takes the right steps at the right times, and finds ways to finish on the move and score at awkward angles.<\/p>\n

Wright also averaged 2.5 steals and 1.3 blocks, finishing No. 4 in the country in defensive win shares,\u00a0per<\/a>\u00a0sports-reference.com.<\/p>\n

He's a unique player with exceptional physical tools and two-way potential at the point guard position. Expect to hear Wright's name emerge as an early sleeper candidate\u2014similar to the way Elfrid Payton hit the radar at Louisiana-Lafayette.<\/p>\n

Tyus Jones has that natural feel for the point guard position, where he'll share time with senior Quinn Cook in Duke's backcourt.<\/p>\n

Jones has that strong command of the ball and offense. He's got a terrific floor game, with the ability to run the pick-and-roll, drive-and-dish, navigate through traffic and create for teammates.<\/p>\n

His jumper is also above average for an incoming freshman.<\/p>\n

The big knock on Jones is tied to his lack of strength and athleticism. At 6'1", Jones plays mostly under the rim, which limits him as a defender and finisher.<\/p>\n

And that essentially limits his upside at first glance, though few 18-year-old ball-handlers are as mature, poised and polished as Jones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
