Cheick Diallo (PF)
Strengths: Length, defense, running the floor, finishing around the rim, rebounding, motor, free-throw shooting relative to where he's at developmentally.
Weaknesses: His offensive game needs refinement. He isn't big enough or strong enough to guard centers, but offensively he profiles as a center, as he can't stretch the floor.
Draft Range: 16-30
Comp:Al-Farouq Aminu
Malcolm Brogdon (PG-SG)
Strengths: Intangibles, excellent defender, can guard both guard positions, decision-making, physicality, agility, effort, vision, transitioning well to point guard after playing off the ball in college.
Weaknesses: Shooting, age (one of the oldest players in the draft), not the best athlete, has to make up for that with high-motor play.
Draft Range: 17-32
Comp: Ron Harper
Ben Bentil (SF-PF)
Strengths: Offensive and defensive versatility, scoring, smooth stroke, ball-handling for his size.
Weaknesses: Leaping (29-inch standing vertical), tweener on offense, he needs to go to the right situation so that his versatility can be utilized.
Draft Range: 20-40
Comp:James Posey
Chinanu Onuaku (C)
Strengths: Intimidating size, dominates paint, rebounding, shot-blocking, competitive fire, developing post game, runs floor well for his size.
Weaknesses: Ideally he'd be a couple inches taller, needs to know his role (he's Steven Adams but he thinks he's Dwight Howard), free-throw shooting (he shoots free throws underhand).
Draft Range: 20-40
Comp: Ben Wallace
DeAndre Bembry (SG-SF)
Strengths: Scoring, play-making, defense, ability to guard multiple positions, basketball IQ, agility, knows his role, three-point stroke shows some promise.
Weaknesses: Not an elite athlete, will need to improve three-point shooting otherwise he may not earn playing time.
Draft Range: 20-30
Comp: Eddie Jones
Patrick McCaw (PG-SG)
Strengths: Height, shooting, defense, upside, didn't receive good coaching in college so there's the potential for him to really take off.
Weaknesses: He would be an incredibly more intriguing prospect if he can transition to point guard, but he may not have the instincts for the position. Visible engagement levels are reminiscent of Andrew Wiggins, but McCaw may not be talented enough to pull that off. Needs to add muscle.
Draft Range: 20-35
Comp:Jamal Crawford
Joel Bolomboy (PF)
Strengths: Strength, speed, athleticism, physicality, rebounding, developing shooting stroke.
Weaknesses: Has not faced elite competition, did not break out until senior year at Weber State, his age will be held against him.
Draft Range: 35-55
Comp: Kenyon Martin
Jake Layman (SF)
Strengths: Shooting, height, efficiency, energy, basketball IQ, competitiveness, speed, agility, athleticism.
Weaknesses: Wingspan, strength. He probably won't be able to handle most fours on defense, but he could get eaten up by some small forwards.
Draft Range: 35-55
Comp:Mike Dunleavy
