Anthony Bennett
16 players on our original board elected to return to college. This update reflects that movement as well as analysis from the Portsmouth Invitational and the Nike Hoop Summit.
On The Bubble:
Matthew Dellavedova, 6’4 190 PG St. Mary’s (via Australia) – started in Olympics, shoots 3, great passer, high IQ
Elias Harris, 6’8 240 PF Gonzaga (via Germany) – wasn’t he supposed to be a lottery pick a few years ago?
Jared Berggren, 6’10 245 PF/C Wisconsin – Sneaky athletic. Fundamentally sound “Bo Ryan” big guy who can shoot face-up.
Out:
Phil Pressey, 5’11 165 PG (21) Missouri – Tiny PG who would be a career backup IF he made it, can duplicate this in Free-Agency
Our draft board is featured on Hit the Boards.com and NBA Mock Draft Database and will soon be on The Hoop Doctors.com and DC Pro Sports Report as well as other aggregate draft board sites.
