6) Drew Shelton PG 6'4'' 189 19 C C+ B C D+ A
Shelton went from being a street ball phenomenon at age 15 to becoming a starting freshman point guard on the Florida State Seminoles.
His floor vision is absolutely exceptional and he has some of the craziest, most crafty moves you can imagine.
This often helps his team, but also deters it at times when he tries to do too much, too often and cares more about flash than fundamentals.
Shelton breaks ankles, but at times, also breaks fans' hearts with his over-the-top moves.
Either way, Shelton has big-time potential, possibly the most of anyone in this FBB class and is definitely worth a look in the mid-1st round area code.
7) Cris McInnis PF 6'9'' 245 19 B C C B C+ B
Speaking of upside, scouts have very mixed opinions on the upside of 19-year old Cris McInnis.
McInnis got thrown out of BYU for bad behavior, which would normally raise a red flag, but in McInnis's case, many speculate that it's because his parents are fundamentalist mormons who believe in plural marriage and were exposed by the administration and other parents of student athletes.
McInnis decided that rather than carrying this burden with him to another college that he would go pro.
His freshman numbers are above-average at 17.5 ppg and 9.3 rpg and scouts love his attitude, but have very mixed feelings about whether his strange background plays a role in his professional career.
8) Corey Hernandez C 6'11'' 301 22 B D+ C- B- C+ B
Corey Hernandez is a behemoth that attended Central Connecticut University after transferring from Duke in his freshman year due to the rigorous conditioning program that they attempted to have him adapt to.
Hernandez is a monster who has great post moves, but horrible athleticism. He is one of the slowest basketball players that you will see.
Hernandez strangely has incredible floor vision and is one of the best passing big men in the history of college basketball after averaging 5.5 assists-per-game.
A very odd player to say the least and with his failure to get into game shape, he may slip into the 2nd round.
9) Hayden Bogans SF 6'8'' 216 22 B B C C+ C C
Bogans is what he is... Look at his ratings, what you see is what you get.
Bogans will come off the bench and average double digits without being a liability on defense.
10) Terrance Willis PG 6'1'' 185 22 C C+ C+ B D+ A
Willis is an incredible defensive point guard in the mold of Lindsay Hunter.
Do not expect Willis to start immediately or possibly ever, but he is an efficient defensive combo guard who will lock down opposing defenders.
Scouts expect him to improve into a really high calibre defensive player, but worry about him on the offensive side of things.
