St. John's

Lightning-quick off the dribble and on defense. Played well through many off-court distractions.
|
Ernest Brown

Soph.
|
Indian Hills (Iowa) CC
|
Raw 7-footer needs to work on game outside of three feet. Had signed with Iowa State.
|
Schea Cotton
|
Soph.
|
Alabama
|
Needs to prove he can score at the NBA level. Only played one year of major-college ball.
|
Jamal Crawford
|
Fr.
|
Michigan
|
Has size and quickness to be an NBA point but outside shot suspect.
|
Joshua Cross
|
Jr.
|
Southern Illinois
|
Did not start for SIU last season. 6-4 guard averaged 6.6 pts., 4.8 reb.
|
Kaniel Dickens
|
Jr.
|
Idaho
|
Averaged 12.1 points, 6.6 rebounds; at 6-8, a very undersized center.
|
Keyon Dooling
|
Soph.
|
Missouri
|
The 6-3 point led the Tigers at 15.3 points and 3.7 assists per game.
|
Khalid El-Amin
|
Jr.
|
UConn

Point guard has knack for big baskets and big steals. Needs to improve shooting (career 41.6% FG).
|
Steve Eldridge
|
Jr.
|
Henderson State
|
6-10 center averaged 7.6 points, 5.2 rebounds in first season at NCAA Division II school.
|
Marcus Fizer
|
Jr.
|
Iowa State
|
Dominating scoring threat. A bull inside, with deft outside shot. A top-five pick.
|
Donnell Harvey
|
Fr.
|
Florida
|
Makes up for offensive limitations with tenacious rebounding.
|
Cory Hightower

Indian Hills (Iowa) CC

Slasher averaged 22.8 points; at 6-8, an attractive package. Had signed with TCU.
|
Rashaad Hines
|

|
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi
|
Saw action in eight games, averaging 12.1 points. Shot 40 percent on 3s.

At 6-4, he led Life University to an NAIA championship last season.
|
DerMarr Johnson
|
Fr.
|
Cincinnati
|
Lanky 6-9 shooter showed nice range but didn't do many little things. Defense is a concern.
|
Jason Kapono
|
Fr.
|
UCLA
|
Polished offensive player; led Bruins in scoring as a freshman.
|
Mark Karcher
|
Jr.
|
Temple
|
Inside-outside threat the epitome of 'tweener. Shot selection could use work.
|
Andre Mahorn
|
Jr.
|
Utah State
|
Saw little action (8.1 mpg) in first D-I year after two impressive JUCO seasons.
|
Paul McPherson
|
Jr.
|
DePaul
|
Athletic guard who topped 20 points in just three games this season, his first of major-college ball. Averaged 11.2 points.
|
Brian Merriweather

|
Texas-Pan American
|
6-3 guard averaged 20.4 ppg; shot 41.5 percent on 3-pointers.
|
Chris Mihm
|
Jr.
|
Texas
|
One of the few true centers in the draft. Good hands and footwork make for solid package. |
Darius Miles
|
H.S.
|
East St. Louis, Ill.
|
A small forward who could play some shooting guard. Scouts love his versatility, so much that he'll be a lock for the lottery. |
Mike Miller
|
Soph.
|
Florida
|
Versatile with big upside. Led national runner-up Gators in scoring (14.1 ppg).
|
Jerome Moiso
|
Soph.
|
UCLA
|
At 6-10, has athleticism to play inside and outside. Has strong set of post moves.
|
Joel Przybilla
|
Soph.
|
Minnesota
|
Shot-blocking machine (3.7 per game) who needs to add muscle and offensive moves.
|
Michael Redd
|
Jr.
|
Ohio State
|
Led Buckeyes in scoring -- and rebounding -- at 6-foot-6.
|
Quentin Richardson
|
Soph.
|
DePaul
|
Versatility and rebounding ability as a guard make him a lock in the first
round.
|
JaRon Rush
|
Soph.
|
UCLA
|
Needs to improve outside shot to make it as an NBA shooting guard.
|
Jeryl Sasser
|
Jr.
|
SMU
|
6-7 combo guard who rebounds like a forward but shoots too erratically to be a first-round pick.
|
Kenny Satterfield
|
Fr.
|
Cincinnati
|
In the process of removing name from draft.
|
Karim Shabazz
|
Jr.
|
Providence
|
7-2 shotblocker lacks offensive skills; a stretch to go in the first round.
|
DeShawn Stevenson
|
H.S.
|
Fresno, Calif.
|
Possibly the most athletic guard in the draft. Had signed with Kansas.
|
Stromile Swift
|
Soph.
|
LSU
|
Athletic big man who can step out and score outside. Good shot-blocker.
|
