Derrick Favors
NBA Comparison: Al HorfordStrengths: Explosive athlete with unique combination of power and quickness … Possesses an extraordinary wingspan, with Georgia Tech official website claiming a 9-1 standing reach … Tremendous leaping ability … Frequent target of the alley-oop pass and seemingly nothing is out of reach. Soft hands allow him to corral passes most bigs would muff … Runs the floor like a gazelle showing great speed from baseline to baseline …

Ed Davis
NBA Comparison: PJ Brown/Alan Henderson
Luke Babbitt
NBA Comparison: Keith Van Horn/Chris Mullin
Xavier Gibson
NBA Comparison: N/A Strengths: Possesses ideal size (7’3 wingspan) and fluidity for a bigman … Showed out in Portsmouth with his vocal leadership and passing acumen … The best thing I can say about Gibson at this point is that he knows who he is as a player and does what’s asked of him.
DeMarcus Cousins
NBA Comparison: Eddy Curry/Benoit BenjaminStrengths: A physical mismatch in almost every sense. Cousins’ size, power, length and reflexes give him the ability to do things even when he’s not in position to do them … An underrated athlete, despite lacking great explosiveness, he’s extremely nimble and dexterous for such a huge man … His great hands and soft touch, along with his monstrous (7-foot-6) wingspan, allow him to finish easily around the rim …
Trey Thompkins
NBA Comparison: Channing Frye/Craig Brackins Strengths: An offensively gifted power forward with ideal size for his position … Stands about 6’10" in shoes with a long wingspan … Has good overall strength, which he uses often in post-up situations … Has a very versatile low-post game … Exceptional footwork with fast and efficient pivot moves … Looks great on either side of the hoop and can finish after turning over either shoulder … Has a developing hook shot that shows a lot of promise …
Samardo Samuels
NBA Comparison: Ike Diogu/Malik Rose Strengths: A strong, wide, bulky power forward, Samuels used his physical tools in college to give himself an advantage in the post… He understands how and where to position himself, while using his strength and basketball instincts in back to the basket situations… His high awareness on the low post, along with his ability to use a variety of pump fakes contributed to an excellent 6.6 trips to the free throw line per game…
Jordan Hamilton
NBA Comparison: Cedric Ceballos Strengths: Confident wing player with a strong frame and excellent scoring ability … Can score in a variety of ways … Able to use his strength and size (6’8.5" in shoes with a 6’9.5" wingspan) in the post against smaller players … Adept at getting open without the ball … A spot-up shooter who doesn’t hesitate to fire if left open … Shows great shooting mechanics … Release is very high and very quick … Squares up to the rim quickly …
