POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS

Point Guard / 6-4 / Providence / Junior
17.0 ppg, 5.9 rpg
Dunn is a dynamic, true point guard with elite size and speed and has improved upon his weaknesses, namely decision making and shooting. Those are areas that continue to need honing, however he’s got “something special” as one scout put it. His defensive intensity and potential have drawn comparisons to players such as John Wall and Gary Payton from scouts. He still must become much more consistent as a shooter to reach that level, however. Dunn has a charisma and confidence about him that can carry him to becoming a great player in the league someday. |

2. Denver: Jamal Murray
Point Guard / 6-5 / Kentucky / Freshman
19.4 ppg, 4.8 rpg
Murray has improved as the season has progressed, embracing the role of go to scorer with clutch play. Playing alongside one of the top floor generals in the nation, in Ulis, has meant that he hasn’t been able to develop in the role, however he’s been excellent playing off the ball. There’s no questioning Murray’s leadership and maturity. He’s proven over both his high school and Canadian National team performances that he’s an extremely composed and a clutch performer. While he played solely at the shooting guard position at Kentucky, his ability to log minutes at the point give him intrigue. After a slow start to the season, Murray has fulfilled the early season projections as a top 10 pick. |

Point Guard / 6-1 / Notre Dame / Junior
16.4 ppg, 4.9 apg
Jackson is small point guard but has long arms to make up for it. He also has good speed and athleticism. He hasn’t shot the three ball as well as he did last year playing alongside Jerian Grant, but his leadership and point guard skills have made solid progression. Scouts like his leadership and point guard ability and feel he could end up in the mid-late first round with solid workouts. |

Point Guard / 6-2 / North Carolina State / Junior
23.5 ppg, 4.6 apg
Cat Barber has been one of the most improved players in the nation. He’s also become one of the deadliest scorers, utilizing his speed and shiftiness to score on pull ups or get to the rim. While he came into college with some major concerns about his attitude and character, his play has proven a high level of dedication and reports of negative attitude and behavior have dissipated. Interviews with teams are likely what will ultimately determine whether a team will be willing to give him guaranteed money with a first round pick. |
Key: (*) Standard salary for players selected with that pick in 2016-17.
