DeVon Hardin is Cal's No. 4 scorer at 9.9 ppg, well behind celebrated frontcourt partner Leon Powe (19.4), but some NBA scouts feel Hardin is a better prospect. The Newark Memorial product is 6-11 and 225 pounds, only a sophomore, and an explosive athlete. He's also averaging 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 23.6 minutes.

Some analysts this season have called him a potential lottery pick.
