Brandan Wright

North Carolina

6-10

210

Fr.

One of the top prospects in the draft, Brandan Wright's only weakness is his lack of upper-body strength. That'll come if he works hard.

Al Horford

Florida

6-9

245

Jr.

A massive forward with lots of speed, Al Horford's only liability is his mid-range shooting.

Darrell Arthur*

Kansas

6-9

230

Fr.

A freakish athlete who needs to bulk up his sophomore season.

Joakim Noah

Florida

6-11

230

Jr.

Think Tayshaun Prince without a jump shot. Joakim Noah's a horrendous shooter with flawed form. Why hasn't anyone fixed this? Is he willing to improve?

Yi Jianlian

China

7-0

230

1984

A bit light for a 7-footer. He's athletic, but can he play defense and rebound in the NBA? I wouldn't take him with a top-10 pick.

Tyler Hansbrough*

North Carolina

6-8

245

So.

An intelligent leader and a hard worker. Not tall, but has low-post strength. His liabilities are his lacking athleticism and quickness. Not a great defender.

Josh McRoberts

Duke

6-10

240

So.

A smart player but doesn't really have the tools to thrive at the next level.

DeVon Hardin*

California

6-10

240

Jr.

Strong and athletic, but doesn't have any sort of offensive game. Broke a double-digit average for the first time in 2006-07.

Jason Smith

Colorado State

7-0

240

Jr.

An intelligent guy who will be a nice role player. Needs to hit the weight room every day.

Tiago Splitter

Brazil

6-11

240

1985

Think Joakim Noah without the freakish athleticsm.

D.J. White*

Indiana

6-8

242

So.

A classic case of a collegiate star who just doesn't have the height to be a solid NBA player.

Nick Fazekas

Nevada

6-11

240

Sr.

A smart player who can score and shoot from the outside. Lack of quickness and athleticism will keep him out of the first round.

Herbert Hill

Providence

6-10

240

Sr.

Solid rebounder, but I don't know he can score at the next level.

Carl Landry

Purdue

6-9

235

Sr.

D.J. White without the athleticism

Avis Wyatt

Virginia State

6-10

220

So.

He has quickness, a solid jumper and shot-blocking abilities. Light for a power forward.

Sean Williams

Boston College

6-10

235

Jr.

Has the potential to be a defensive monster in the NBA. First-round talent. However, his character issues -- he was kicked off the team -- will keep him off most draft boards.

Jermareo Davidson

Alabama

6-10

220

Sr.

An athletic power forward who lacks power.

Ivan Radenovic

Arizona

6-9

244

Sr.

I'd take him late in the second round because he has a solid jump shot and the height to get it off. Can be a role player. Doesn't have the athleticsm or defense to be a starter.

Stephane Lasme

UMass

6-8

225

Sr.

Averaged just 13.5 ppg on a mediocre team. Obviously not a scoring threat. Turns 25 in December.

Glen Davis

LSU

6-8

280

Jr.

Robert Tractor Traylor?

Mirza Begic

Bosnia

7-3

Ali Traore

France

6-9

239

1985

As with most international prospects, defensive intensity is an issue. Also has trouble scoring. Great athleticism, however.
