Akil Mitchell

NBA Comparison: Stephane Lasme Strengths: Mitchell is a versatile defender, who was a key member of a Virginia squad that led the nation in scoring defense this past season, allowing just 55.7 points per game…  Can guard on the perimeter and in the post.  Also, a good team defender…  Held his own defending some of the top scorers in the country, including Duke’s Jabari Parker and NC State’s T.J.

CJ McCollum

NBA Comparison: Stephen Curry/Juan Dixon Strengths: Combination guard whose game is marked by a lethal capacity for scoring … Averaged 21.9 points per game in 3 ½ season in Bethlehem … His off the dribble variety is elite—hesitation, rocker and crossover—excellent shiftiness and ability to burst through an open seam … He can score from anywhere, a truly unpredictable defensive assignment in the half court …

NBA Comparison: Marcus Thornton Strengths: Lefty off-guard with a nice shooting stroke … Good scorer that can put points on the board in a variety of ways … Confident in isolation situations … No hesitation before pulling up for a jumper off the dribble … Not the best ball-handler, but has an explosive first step that he uses to get to the rim … Looks for contact … Gets to the free throw line a lot (5.5 FTA per game in 2010-2011) and is pretty efficient once he gets there (81.1%) … Great outside shooter with NBA range …
