Blake Griffin, Oklahoma
Height: 6-10. Weight: 248. Year: So.
Projected Selection: 1.
An absolute beast in the post… A man among boys at the collegiate level… Outstanding athleticism, strength, and explosiveness… Good quickness with his post moves showing a nice touch around the paint… Plays at 100 percent all the time… Needs to improve his range from the perimeter and free throw shooting.
Jordan Hill, Arizona
Height: 6-10. Weight: 234. Year: Jr.
Projected Selection: 3-10.
Long, athletic power forward who has shown continued growth throughout his three years at Arizona… Uses his body well down low… His shot is tough to block in the post because of his length… Improved jump shooter with range out to 15 feet… Great in transition with his ability to run the floor and finish above the rim… Must become more physical and stronger.
DeJuan Blair, Pittsburgh
Height: 6-6. Weight: 276. Year: S0.
Projected Selection: 10-16.
A truck on the low block who uses his outstanding strength and length to make up for his lack of ideal size… Has knack for cleaning up the glass… Doesn’t back down against taller opponents… Has a true passion for the game… Decent range on his jumper but needs more consistency… Questions has been raised about possible ailing knee injuries.
