Decent class. Nothing great. Forney looks beast though. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets picked in front of Darian Anthony.

A Darian Anthony (Florida State) PF 21 6'9'' 240 B C C- B- C A
Easily the best athlete in the draft, Anthony never really lived up to expectations at Florida State, but scouts still think he'll be a very good player. His athleticism is unmatched by fellow big men, and his offensive game and defense continue to improve as well. His rebounding is mediocre though, so that hurts his chances of ever being a dominant PF. He might have a future at SF. If he can continue to improve his game, that in combination with his athleticism will make him a great player, but there are a few scouts who worry that this may never happen.
Projected Range = Top 5
A Marshall Forney (Kent State) PF 20 6'11'' 250 C+ C D+ B+ C+ A
Forney is a guy who has exploded onto the scene this year, and done it in amazing fashion averaging 17.6ppg, 9.7rpg, and 5.3 bpg as a college sophomore. Forney has only played organized basketball for 3 years as he first started playing as a high school senior. He came on as a walk-on at Kent State, and after having an impressive freshman season, he earned a scholarship. This season, he led the NCAA in blocked shots and even had a 14 block game in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tourney to lead Kent State to the Sweet 16. Forney's a solid athlete, but what sets him apart from the rest of the PF's is his terrific shot blocking ability. Not only that, but he is also a very solid positional defender. Forney never played against top level talent so some scouts are concerned that he may not adapt very well to the UOSL, but most scouts are certain that Forney will be a very good player for the next decade.
Projected Range = Top 5
A- Julius Hamilton (Duke) PF 22 6'10'' 235 C C- C B- B+ B
Hamilton is a top-notch rebounder whose a decent shot blocker as well. He's an above average passer for a big man as well. He should be a Trey Thompkins-like big man.
Projected Range = 7-10
B+ Torey Boozer (Louisville) PF 19 6'10'' 225 B- B- C C- C A
Boozer has a good inside-outside offensive game, but he pretty much sucks balls at everything else. He'll be best suited as a backup SF/PF, because he does have the potential to be an offensive threat, but the rest of his game is so mediocre that he will probably never be a starter.
B Bryon Goode (Arkansas) PF 21 6'8'' 240 B+ D+ D+ C+ B- B
Very good post scorer whose a solid rebounder. Should be a nice fill-in starter or a great back-up.
Projected Range = 18-23
B Lawrence Otis (California) PF 23 6'10'' 260 C+ D+ C- A- B C
Quality post defender and a good rebounder and shot blocker. Should be a good role player.
Projected Range = 19-24
B- Ryan Whetsel (Kentucky) PF 21 6'6'' 250 B- C D+ C B- B
Nothing special, decent post scorer and rebounder.
Projected Range = Late 1st Round/Early 2nd Round
B- Jordan Wallace (Georgetown) PF 20 6'9'' 220 C- C- C+ C+ C+ A
Wallace is one of the more unique players in the draft as he is an absolutely abysmal offensive player, but has shown signs of being a solid passer/defender/rebounder. He does have some potential, but scouts don't think it's enough for him to ever develop into anything more then a back-up or IR fodder. Who knows though?
Projected Range = Late 1st Round
