 I want to know some players that aren’t on many 16 or 17 draft big boards or are ‘unknown’ players.

I’ve been scouring the DraftExpress database looking for interesting mid-major prospects. There’s this guy Jalen Moore from Utah State. Athletic 6’8 SF with long arms and a good frame. Scores at all three levels and can get to the line some too. Always comes out high in all the efficient metrics too and I watched him on YouTube, he looks good and can be a good role player.

I also like PG Jack Gibbs from Davidson. He also comes out high in all the efficient metrics. Good frame from a point guard and really gets to the line. The thing I don’t like about him is that he tore his ACL in his junior year of high school and then had a slight meniscus tear in January last season where he missed a month.

Then other low-ranked players, sleepers or unknowns that I like, in general, are Trevor Bluiett and Jalen Reynolds of Xavier, transfer Damion Lee of Louisville, Dyshawn Pierre from Dayton, Alex Hamilton of Louisiana Tech, Malcolm Brogdon of Virginia, Gary Payton II of Oregon State, Josh Hart of Villanova, Malcolm Hill from Illinois, Monte Morris of Iowa State, Isaac Copeland of Georgetown, Paris Bass of Detriot, James Webb III of Boise State, and Fred VanVleet of Wichita State.

Then for incoming guys, there are usually one or two guys ranked outside the top twenty in the RSCI recruiting list that end up being one-and-done. I like Thomas Bryant of Indiana since he’ll get lost of playing time and he’s similar to Noah Vonleh in his skills, so it’s good to see that there’s a track record from Crean to get guys like that drafted high. Another is Dejounte Murray of Washington since everyone transferred out of there this summer and he’ll be one of the few guys who can create their own shot. He’s like Jamal Crawford. Others like Tyler Dorsey of Oregon have a shot if he can prove to be a PG rather than combo guard, Juwan Evans of Oklahoma State if he can show consistent range, Dedric Lawson of Memphis if he can play like a Draymond Green-type and reshirt and holdouts like Brandone Francis of Florida and JaQuan Lyles of Ohio State.

A lot of crossover between our lists. Really like Copeland, Webb, and Reynolds as first rounders. Hart and Brogdon are late 1st early second to me. Couple of other names:

Tim Quarterman SG LSU
Taurean Prince SF Baylor
DeAndre Bembry SF St Joes
Josh Fortune SG Colorado
John Motley PF Baylor
Daniel Ochefu C Nova
Xavier Rathan Mayes PG FSU
Tonye Jekeri C Miami
Kellen Dunham SG Butler

 For 2016, Wake Forest has 2 seniors who are worthy of NBA looks in Devin Thomas and Codi Miller McIntyre. I know Thomas is on draft boards already, so I will focus my post on Codi.

At a legit 6’3 205, Miller McIntyre has the legitimate size and athletic ability to compete with today’s NBA point guards.  His only real offer out of HS was Wake Forest, and after committing he burst onto the national scene at the 2011 NBAPA camp in Charlottesville against national competition, cementing himself as a consensus Top 75 prospect on all major recruiting sites.

He is an athletic, smart PG with legit size and speed.  His strengths offensively are his ability to get to and finish around the basket.  Defensively, he is above average on the ball, and used his athleticism to make a couple of nice chase down blocks this past season.

The knock on Codi is that he cannot really shoot from the perimeter.  His 3P% is horrible, and this past season he shot only 64% from the line.  However, his mid-range (especially in transition) shot is extremely well developed for a college player.

Finally, the last 2 things I will say is that he has seen steady statisical improvements accross the board each of his 3 years, which shows he is consistently improving his game.  In addition  (from all accounts I have read) he is an extremely intelligent and well spoken kid, who has handled not only a coaching change but also being the face of a prorgram that has been pretty dismal during his tenure extremely well. 

He more than likely will not end up being drafted, but I think he one day has a shot to be the next Wake Forest PG to make an NBA roster.
