Small Forward / 6-9 / Duke / Freshman
17.0 ppg, 6.8 rpg
Ingram is a very unique prospect in his own right, combining freakish length with a sweet stroke and a smooth floor game. The Stephen Curry factor has obviously tipped this debate in his favor, with Ingram's superior shooting ability. His tremendous play has added some debate about the #1 pick, and while it's still probably a long shot, the team that lands the top pick will have to at the very least consider him. With length and shooting ability reminiscent of Kevin Durant, Ingram has played even better than expected. Showing a level of focus and determination that has made him a highly effective player, on top of being such a high level prospect. A kid who grew up as a skateboarder, Ingram has become one of Duke's most consistent performers and leaders very quickly. Ingram has made it a conversation for who should go first and also giving two apparent franchise talents in this year's draft. |

Small Forward / 6-6 / Michigan State / Senior
19.6 ppg, 7.6 rpg
Valentine was the frontrunner for National Player of the Year honors, with numerous triple doubles having lead Michigan State to an undefeated record, a month and a half into the season. But his knee required arthroscopic surgery forcing him to miss a few weeks of action. While his upside is limited due to his lack of size and athleticism, he's a highly skilled player with a good chance to find a spot in the first round and league despite his athletic shortcomings. |

Small Forward / 6-7 / Mega Leks (Serbia) / 1995
15.3 ppg, 4.6 rpg
Luwawu has had a breakout season playing, scoring 15 ppg in Serbia for Mega Leks and proven that he can knock down the 3 ball consistently at 38% on a high volume. He still needs to improve his mid-range game and consistency, and cut down the turnovers (3 per game) but he's a wing with promise as a defender due to his athleticism and length. Luwawu remains a bit of project, as a player in need of expanding his floor game, but a wing teams could bring over immediately or possibly target to draft and stash. |

Small Forward / 6-7 / Baylor / Senior
15.0 ppg, 5.6 rpg
Despite being a senior, Prince retains intrigue due to his energy and ability to shoot. While his three point numbers have fallen off from previous years, he knocks down free throws at a plus 80% clip and shows a versatile all around game. He'll look to cement a position in the first round in workouts and interviews with teams. |
Key: (*) Standard salary for players selected with that pick in 2016-17.
