Didn't have a lot of time this time around, so I'll just give you some tidbits on guys I like:
Thomas Hamilton - Real interesting player here. Not sure what he'll become, but he's definitely intriguing. Could be a promising roleplayer someday. Probably a late 1st Rounder.
Jim McIlvaine - Really good defender. Don't know if he'll ever develop anywhere else, but his defense has got to be valued somewhere. Early 2nd Rounder for sure, but could be a good 3rd stringer.
Clifford Rozier - Don't sleep on C-Roz. He seems Charles Oakley-esque if you ask me. He should be a mid to late 1st Round pick.
Sharone Wright - Looks very similar to Brian Grant, but scouts feel his upside is quite a bit lower. Instead of possibly being a solid starter, you're looking at a career back-up. But he could provide crucial reserve minutes some day. Late 1st Round pick.
Kris Bruton - He comes out of college looking pretty good, but scouts feel he's close to peaking. Unfortunately, he's a PF in a SF's body, so he may either be undersized or overmatched at the next level. However, given the right opportunity, he could be a good 2nd stringer. Late 1st Round pick.
Andrei Fetisov - Scouts love his ability to score down in the paint. Very savvy in the post. The rest of his game is unpolished and the general consensus is his ceiling isn't too high. However, he could end up as a nice 6th man. Mid to late 1st Round pick.
Lamond Murray - Murray has flown under the radar, much like Vin Baker did last year. Some scouts feel he could slip into the late lotto selections, but most see him going in the mid to late teens. He could end up as a very useful fourth or fifth starter. At the very worst, a good sixth or seventh man.
Voshon Lenard - Shooting specialist. Not much more to say. He could be very useful on an outside shooting team. Mid to late 1st Round pick.
Wesley Person - Hmm. Read the aforementioned prospect. However, scouts prefer Person's size. He may not become quite the player his older brother is, but some feel he could get close. Mid to late 1st Round pick.
Tony Dumas - Pure scorer. Don't expect much else from him, but he is a very efficient scorer. Scouts feel he's tapped out when it comes to improvement. Late 1st Round pick.
Aaron McKie - Good defender and solid shooter. He'll find his way into a back-up role and should have a lengthy career as one. Late 1st Round pick.
Eric Piatkowski - The shooters keep coming. Piatkowski may be the best option out of all of them, because he brings a tad bit of defense to the table. He'll definitely be a good back-up at the next level. Mid to late 1st Round pick.
Khalid Reeves - A good shooter that can probably play some point. How he'll develop is up in the air, but many scouts feel he could be a good combo guard back-up. Late 1st Round pick.
Charlie Ward - The Heisman Trophy winner oddly enough draws little interest from the NFL, but scouts in the UOSLR are all over him. Definitely the third best PG in the draft, Ward may be a solid starter one day. Definitely at great back-up at worst. Mid 1st Round pick.
Howard Eisley - A scoring spark of a PG, Eisley will be a very good back-up at best. He should have a solid career. Late 1st Round pick.
