6) Jacquez Mercier SG 6'4'' 199 20 B B+ C C D+ C
If there's one thing that you can say about this USC product, it's that he can score in bucket loads. Many scouts who have watched USC say that Mercier reminds them of O.J. Mayo.
Mercier is a proficient scorer, but many worry about his work ethic. The game comes so naturally to him that he usually spends his nights partying rather than studying or working on his game. How will this affect his progress in the professional ranks?
7) Deion Mashburn PF 6'8'' 236 22 B C C C+ C A
D-Mash reminds many of a retired player of the same last name. In fact, their game and body types are nearly identical. D-Mash can score from anywhere on the court, is a solid passer and a good post defender.
Mashburn really needs to improve his rebounding skills if he wants to be a power forward with his body type or he needs to get into better shape and become a small forward.
8) Terrell Watts PG 5'9'' 209 22 C B A- C D B
Watts is an incredible ball handler who will rarely turn over the ball, but he needs to work on his passing. He loves to show off his handles and quickness in the college ranks, but many pro scouts worry about his conditioning and lack of hustle at times.
If his potential is true, you may end up with a Steve Nash type point guard who simply gets it done.
9) Conner Newcomb PF 6'10'' 235 22 B- C C- B- C+ B
Conner Newcomb was a stud at mid-major Portland State and is one of those gritty power forwards in the mold of David Lee.
Newcomb loves to post up, go after boards and is a solid post defender. He is also an excellend teammate and is very coachable. His coaches have always raved about how impressive he is in practice and how vital he has been to the teams that he has played on. People are absolutely certain that he will make it on the next level.
10) Elijah Davies C 6'11'' 290 20 C C- D+ B- B- B
Davies is an overweight center who everyone is saying left Fresno State too early because scouts and agents were getting in his ear.
Davies is the quintessential boom or bust prospect and if his conditioning is any indication, the outlook may not be so good.
