Kevin Parrom
Strengths: Versatile enough to be serviceable at either wing position … Has some court vision and handle, deceptive off the dribble … Improved efficiency greatly, team was much more effective with him on the floor … Knows his role and does not try to do much out of his comfort zone … Strong body, willing to take contact … Vastly improved as a jump shooter over his 4 seasons at Arizona … Work ethic helped him come back after he was a gun shot victim … Solid length, gives good effort defensively … Decent rebounder, especially as a senior

NBA Comparison:
Wayne Selden
NBA Comparison: Norman Powell Strengths: After two average seasons of collegiate basketball, Wayne Selden Jr. finally put together the kind of year many had believed he was capable of since he came out of high school. Wayne began to use his NBA positional size, which includes a 6’10’’ wingspan and a well-muscled 230 pound frame to finish at the rim. Selden shot a very impressive 71.3% at the rim (according to Hoop-Math.com) and many of his finishes were jaw dropping dunks while taking contact from defenders.
Chris Walker
NBA Comparison: CJ Leslie Strengths: Elite level athlete, especially at the college level … He has got great length (7-1 wingspan) and can jump out of the gym … Runs the floor well when he wants to and can finish extremely well on the fast break … Shoots a high percentage due to most of his offensive attempts coming on alley-oops and put backs off of his teammate’s penetration … On the defensive end, he can block shots with the best of them but struggles containing his man on the block … He’s a good rebounder at 12.3 boards per 48 minutes …
Theo Pinson
Notes: Measured at 6’5.5 (in shoes) 181 lbs, with a 6’10 wingspan at the 2012 LeBron James Skills Academy … Measured 6’6.5 (with shoes) 182 lbs with a 6’10 wingspan at the 2013 Kevin Durant Skills Academy October 22, 2014May 28, 2014
Mitch McGary
NBA Comparison: Todd Fuller/Bill Laimbeer Strengths: A bigman who is quick for his size … Possesses a high basketball IQ and can do damage offensively as a playmaker … Not explosive vertically but moves well laterally with good control … Willing to do the dirty work; hustles and seeks "garbage bucket" opportunities … Solid finisher around the rim with crafty post moves … A willing passer out of the post … Combined with his soft hands, should have the ability to develop go-to back-to-basket moves long term … At 6’10" 255 lbs.
Jahlil Okafor
NBA Comparison: Brook Lopez/Al Jefferson Strengths: One of the most advanced low-post scorers the college game has seen in quite some time …
Dakari Johnson
NBA Comparison: Aaron Gray Strengths: Johnson is a big man (7’0, 255 lbs.) who plays big. He uses his strength well and is generally the tallest guy on the court … He is an unselfish prospect who became one of the nation’s top role players on one of college basketball’s strongest teams … Does the little things like set screens and box out well that should help him transition to the NBA … Burly big man who uses his strength to get deep post position and great rebounding position. Simply overpowered people at the college level …
