[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
1. Anthony Davis
Grade 98
Evaluation:
Anthony Davis is a long and athletic power forward with very good hands. It is quite obvious that he has grown alot in recent past. It’s almost as if he doesn’t yet fully grasp just how big he really is, sometimes getting layups blocked inside when he should be going for the dunk. He runs the floor extremely well and is excellent in transition. He is a face-up post player who is capable of putting the ball on the floor when being guarded by a bigger defender. He is a good mid-range shooter who is more than capable of hitting the three pointer if left open. He is a good rebounder as well and can block and alter shots on a consistent basis. Davis needs to add a lot of strength, but his potential is absolutely off the charts. He’s relatively new to the scene, but it’s easy to see why he is being recruited at the highest level.

7. Marquis Teague
Grade 97
Evaluation:
Marquis Teague is a scoring point guard who excels at getting to the rim. He is an extremely good ball handler and explosive athlete who likes to utilize a floater in the lane when he can’t get all the way to the rim. His mid-range shot is solid, but he needs to extend his range and become more consistent from the three point line. When he does this it will keep his defender honest and open things up for him.
25. Kyle Wiltjer
Grade 96
Kyle Wiltjer is a skilled power forward who excels at shooting the ball. He has deep range and a smooth shot that always looks like it has a chance to go in. He is also very good passer for a big man. Wiltjer needs to continue to add more strength so he can hold up in the post against bigger and stronger players, but he is sure to be an offensive threat at the next level.
