Dennis Smith

NBA Comparison: Baron Davis/Steve Francis Strengths: Smith is arguably the most explosive athlete in the draft, despite tearing his ACL a little over a year ago … He is very shifty with the ball in his hands and has tremendous burst … An elite level athlete who attacks the rim like a player 5 inches bigger … Possesses solid size for a PG at 6’2 in shoes with a 6’5 wingspan and 8’1 standing reach … He is also a strong, physical guard with the ability to absorb contact and finish acrobatically at the rim (61% at the rim) …

Jamal Murray

NBA Comparison: Ben Gordon Strengths: A very polished and clutch performer for his age … Murray is a combo guard, but in a good way, at 6’4" and 207 lbs he possess the size to play both guard positions … Has shown the ability to play off the ball as a freshmen at Kentucky … Has three point range that must be respected by his defender … Takes open driving lanes when he sees them … Can really attack defenses when going downhill … Comfortable finishing in the lane and has a variety of shots to finish in the paint …

Mikal Bridges

NBA Comparison: Otto Porter/Robert Covington Strengths: Prototypical 3-and-D wing for the next level … 6-7 guard/forward with elite length, athleticism and skill set … Has evolved from being a defensive standout to one of the best outside shooters and wings on the college level … Quite possibly the best two way player available in this year’s draft, and figures to be one of the most NBA ready as well … Hits three pointers at a high volume, 2.5 three pointers on just under 6 shots per game … Has a very polished 3-point shot.
