A Christian Standhardinger(Germany) SF 20 6'9'' 223 C+ C+ C- B C+ A
Standhardinger's one of the more rawest 'top prospects.' in the draft. Standhardinger jumped onto the radar of scouts earlier this year at the U-21 tournament in London. His all-around play was impressive, and he showed flashes of being a star. He's a quality defender whose offensive game is a work in progress. He's a better rebounder then you might think as well. His only real weakness is his ball handling ability, which is below average. The potential is there though, this kid should be a stud.
Projected Range = 3-6
A Lewis Claybrin(Australia) SF 20 6'7'' 210 B- C+ B- C C A
Claybrin is a player that scouts are mixed on. Some have him rated as the 3rd best player in the draft, while others aren't so high on him because of his lackadaisical defense. He often looks lost and disinterested while playing defense. However, he's a solid offensive player whose a very solid ball handler. Scouts question his desire, but the talent is undeniable, and the potential appears to be there for him to be a very good player.
Projected Range = 3-6
A- Fabian Thulig(Germany) SF 21 6'6'' 205 C+ B- C- C C+ A
Yet another foreigner, and once again, it's a German. Thulig has been one of the most heralded international prospects since he turned 17. He's a capable offensive player who still needs to become more consistent if he wants to play in the pros. He's not a very good passer and his defense needs a lot of work. His rebounding is also quite solid for a 6-6 player. Some scouts think he has limited upside and will end up being more of a role player then an all-star caliber player, so his development is up in the air. Either way, he's definitely gonna have a role with a team in the UOSL.
Projected Range = 8-13
A- Rio Adams(Washington State) SF 21 6'6'' 225 B C C+ C+ C B
After teaming with Allonzo Trier to lead Washington State to the national championship, Adams decided to forgo his senior season and declare for the draft. He's a very dangerous player when he has the ball in his hands, as he can drive into the lane and score or draw fouls, and he's also a quality passer so he can find the open man as well. He does tend to turn it over quite a bit as he always wants to be the playmaker. That is something he needs to work on. He's also impressed scouts with his perimeter defense, so he's not really as much of a defensive liability as his ratings might suggest. Should be a solid player, but the upside is limited.
Projected Range = 8-14
B+ Mohammed Bukar(Nigeria) SF 21 6'10'' 225 C+ C C- B+ C A
Yet another international prospect, Bukar is perhaps the most intriguing of the bunch. He's only been playing organized basketball for three years, and his athleticism is through the roof. He's one of the best defenders in the draft if not the best, and that in addition to his athleticism is why some scouts love him. His basketball IQ is pretty low unfortunately due to his inexperience, and he's never going to be much an offensive threat. If he does have upside, he could end up being a nice SF, but most scouts are convinced he's just a workout wonder and will never be more then a back up in UOSL. Who knows though...
Projected Range = 16-21
B Arvell Jones(Duke) SF 22 6'8'' 230 B- C C- B C C
Jones is another 'safe' pick as he'll be a solid player, but nothing more. He's a solid post player but his perimeter game is mediocre. He's very versatile defensively as he can do it all, but he doesn't excel at any aspect. Expect him to be a solid backup.
Projected Range = Late 1st Round
B- Chris Harrison(Notre Dame) SF 22 6'6'' 220 C B+ C- C B- B
Very good shooter who set all sorts of records at Notre Dame for scoring. Harrison's another nice role player, because not only can he shoot, but he's a solid rebounder. His defense and ball handling need work though if he ever wants to be more then a backup.
Projected Range = Late 1st-Early 2nd Round

This may be the best class. Wazzu, the national championship?!?! Ha, it could happen. Especially if someone of Trier's stature actually goes to Washington State.
nice work, nova.
