Darren Collison Of UCLA
Collison has enough special skills to play heavy minutes in the NBA, potentially as a starter if he can be paired with an elite shooting guard.
Patrick Mills Of St. Mary's
Patrick Mills is as quick as anyone in this draft and is a deadly scorer, but will his glaring limitations reduce him to a gadget player?
Omri Casspi Of Maccabi Tel Aviv
Almost immediately, Omri Casspi will be one of the most difficult covers in the NBA due to how well he creates scoring opportunities for himself when he doesn't even have the ball.
Terrence Williams Of Louisville
Terrence Williams is a smooth player in every facet of his game. The enigma that is his jumper is really the only thing separating a solid NBA career from a potential great one.
DeJuan Blair Of Pittsburgh
In a draft desperately short of low post talent, DeJuan Blair stands out as its absolute best.
James Johnson Of Wake Forest
Johnson has some very good skills for a player his size, but he is a classic case of a guy that should be a bruising power forward who is mistakenly in love with his finesse game.
Austin Daye Of Gonzaga
In terms of offensive potential, Austin Daye has as much of it as any other member of this class and could be its purest shooter behind Stephen Curry.
Earl Clark Of Louisville
Earl Clark has remarkably pure basketball skills considering his height and can score extremely well off the dribble.
Brandon Jennings Of Virtus Roma
Brandon Jennings comes to the NBA from Oak Hill via Virtus Roma, a path that could become more common if he's successful in the NBA.
James Harden Of Arizona State
James Harden has a mature presence and a throwback game, with enough skill at the shooting guard position to start on most teams.
Tyreke Evans Of Memphis
Tyreke Evans will be one of the most versatile players in league and his value will be as a player that can score at will off the dribble.
Demar DeRozan Of USC
Demar DeRozan is a slasher in the classic sense of the term with plenty of latent upside, but most scouts agree that expectations have been tempered from a year ago.
Jordan Hill Of Arizona
Jordan Hill stayed in school, improved his game, his draft stock and his net worth. He is the safest big in the draft not named Blake Griffin.
Ricky Rubio Of DKV Joventut
In terms of inventiveness as a passer at the point guard position, Ricky Rubio is better than any prospect we've seen since Jason Kidd.
Hasheem Thabeet Of UConn
Hasheem Thabeet is nothing if not a specialized basketball player. He does one thing (blocking shots) extremely well and is developing those other areas of his game.
Eric Maynor Of VCU
Eric Maynor is as gifted of a scorer in the lane as you will see, using his runners and pull-up jumpers. But the other parts of his game are decidedly ordinary.
Jonny Flynn Of Syracuse
If you can’t have a transcendent point guard with size like Kidd or Rose, then Jonny Flynn is prototypically ideal to be any NBA team’s starting point guard.
Stephen Curry Of Davidson
Stephen Curry can shoot, that much we all know. But his abilities as a pure point guard are better than some might realize.
Ty Lawson Of North Carolina
Lawson's game is still largely predicated on his speed, but his improved perimeter shot makes him a significantly better prospect this year.
Jrue Holiday Of UCLA
Jrue Holiday has enough tools to become an effective NBA point guard, especially with his preternatural way of driving to the bucket.
B.J. Mullens Of Ohio State
If a team is confident in the way they develop bigs, B.J. Mullens has enough natural talent and athleticism to be a worthwhile project.
Jeff Teague Of Wake Forest
Jeff Teague is in elite company in terms of being an elite playmaker off the dribble and has virtually no bust potential at the point guard position.
Blake Griffin Of Oklahoma
Blake Griffin's combination of elite athleticism and refined skills is incredibly rare, but how he performs initially in the NBA when the gap between his physicality and his opponents is fairly narrow is in doubt.
