	Centers	Comments
1.	Cole Aldrich 6-11 245 C Kansas Jr.	Slow start to the season. Beginning to dominate.
2.	Larry Sanders 6-10 235 PF/C VCU Jr.	No security blanket (Maynor) this year. 7-6 wing allows him to play PF or C.
3.	Hassan Whiteside 7-0 235 C Marshall Fr.	Upside extremely intriguing. Still raw and needs time to develop.
4.	DeMarcus Cousins 6-11 280 PF/C Kentucky Fr.	Too talented to slip very far, but major question marks surrounding his desire.
5.	Solomon Alabi 7-1 251 C Florida St. So.	Intriguing but raw and both ends. Reflexes and foot speed still question mark.
6.	Keith Benson 6-11 225 C Oakland Jr.	Late bloomer with length/potential. Would it be wrong to steal the 'too much' phrase?
7.	Dexter Pittman 6-10 290 C Texas Sr.	Widebody who has worked hard on skills, particularly the pushaway (from table) move.
8.	Jerome Jordan 7-0 245 C Tulsa Sr.	His length and shooting quickens the pulse. Demeanor/energy level brings it back down.
9.	Tyler Zeller 6-11 215 PF/C North Carolina So.	Solid bigman prospect with good size and fluidity. Back after FR season lost to wrist inj.
10.	AJ Ogilvy 6-10 250 C Vanderbilt Jr.	Has gone from bubble first rounder to future Portsmouth invitee.
