Position Grades

Point Guard: 

Point Guard Point guard is this year’s second weakest position. While Will Schayes is seasoned and apparently ready to run an NBA offense today, many say that Brad Daniels will grow to become the better player. 1) Will Schayes Wisconsin 6'2 172 lbs. Junior Draft Grade: 83 2) Brad Daniels Alabama 6'3 205 lbs. Freshman Draft Grade: 77 3) Francis Smalls Louisville 6'4 186 lbs. Senior Draft Grade: 74 4) Tommy Nance Ohio State 6'4 206 lbs. Senior Draft Grade: 69 5) Nicholas Ramsey Duke 6'4 201 lbs. Sophomore Draft Grade: 69

Shooting Guard : 

Shooting Guard Shooting guard is this draft’s deepest position. This position is home to the consensus best player, Ray Campbell and NCAA player of the year last year, Rasheed Thompson. In addition, Hugh Wood has shown to have huge upside while Janmie McLeod is clearly one of the best perimeter defenders in the draft. 1) Ray Campbell Arizona 6'6 225 lbs. Freshman Draft Grade: 93 2) Rasheed Thompson Arizona 6'5 223 lbs. Senior Draft Grade: 89 3) Hugh Wood Michigan 6'6 216 lbs. Freshman Draft Grade: 78 4) Jamie McLeod West Virginia 6'4 224 lbs. Senior Draft Grade: 78 5) JJ Givens Virginia Tech 6'5 214 lbs. Junior: 69

Small Forward : 

Small Forward Francis Quinn out of Wisconsin has been the center of many discussions. Many wonder if he can be the type of franchise player that Ray Campbell is predicted to be. In addition to Quinn, teams that are in need of defense will be falling over one another to draft defensive specialist Erik Peters. 1) Francis Quinn Wisconsin 6'8 242 lbs. Freshman Draft Grade: 89 2) Erik Peters South Carolina 6'6 235 lbs. Junior. Draft Grade: 82 3) Brad Benjamin Northwestern 6'9 227 lbs. Senior Draft Grade: 76 4) Ed Mark Texas A&M 6'8 211 lbs. Senior Draft Grade: 66 5) Curtis Pederson Michigan 6'7 213 lbs. Senior Draft Grade: 66

Power Forward : 

Power Forward Power Forward is where many “average” players will be found. All except for Kevin Marshall. Marshall was a major part of the excellent Wildcat team. Although most don’t believe he will be as good as his former teammate Campbell, most believe that he will at worst be a very good player. 1) Kevin Marshall Arizona 6'10 247 lbs. Freshman Draft Grade: 89 2) Terrence Roberts Georgetown 6'9 264 lbs. Senior Draft Guide: 72 3) Elton Payne Oklahoma 6'11 231 lbs. Sophomore Draft Grade: 72 4) Phil Davenport Clemson 6'9 257 lbs. Sophomore Draft Grade: 72 5) Edmund Holmes UCLA 6'9 246 lbs. Senior Draft Grade: 70

Center : 

Center Jesse Bowman out of Gonzaga appears to be the only sure thing out of this draft. With Bowman, a team knows that they are getting instant offense from all over the court. Ifeanyi Ikedia out of Nigeria is unknown and troubled freshman Jackie Lucas would have benefited from at least one more year in college. 1) Jesse Bowman Gonzaga 6'11 248 lbs. Senior Draft Grade: 80 2) Ifeanyi Ikedia Nigeria 7'0 240 lbs. Draft Grade: 67 3) Jackie Lucas Cincinatti 6'11 258 lbs. Freshman Draft Grade: 67 4) Bert Jenkins Wake Forest 6'11 254 lbs. Sophomore Draft Grade: 64 5) Donta Haston UCLA 7'0 260 lbs. Senior Draft Grade: 64

Top 10 Prospects: 

Top 10 Prospects As previously stated, the shooting guard position is where you can find two of the top three players in the draft in Rasheed Thompson and Ray Campbell. If you need a big man, Arizona’s Kevin Marshall and Gonzaga’s Jesse Bowman appear to be your guys. Former Badger teammates Will Schayes and Francis Quinn will more than likely be the first to go at point guard and small forward respectively.

Make the right choice.: 

Make the right choice. With a possible two or three franchise players in this draft, a team can easily turn their fortune if they find a way to sneak up to the top of the draft. The question is, are you sure that any of these players worth cleaning house to get? If so, do you have the pieces to get that pick? Or might you be so lucky that it will fall right into your hands. Either way, make sure you make the right pick.
