Alex Young
NBA Comparison: Josh Howard Strengths: A nice all-around scorer … Good size at 6’6" with a solid wingspan … Projects to the shooting guard position well in the NBA … Very fluid runner with a quick first-step … Explosive athlete, capable of finishing above the rim … Nice, though perhaps streaky, outside shooter … Has NBA range and a quick, confident trigger from the perimeter … Solid handle, though he’s clearly uncomfortable going to his right (he’s left-handed) … Aggressive driver, which really complements his perimeter ability …

Erick Green
NBA Comparison: Bo Kimble Strengths: Green exploded onto the scene in this his senior year becoming the leading scorer in all of college basketball while going from being a 2nd round prospect to a likely first round prospect … At 6’4, 185 pounds, Green has below average size for an NBA shooting guard but does have good length … What is so impressive about Green is that he improved his efficiency drastically in each year of his 4-year career …
