Big Board 2.0 - Part 3
Breaking down prospects 31-75 in the 2024 NBA Draft
Over the last two weeks I’ve released Big Board 2.0 The Lottery: Picks 1-14 and Part Two: Prospects 15-30
This week I dive even deeper, laying out prospects 31-75 for 2024 NBA Draft. As I did for last week’s Big Board, I spoke with a number of NBA execs and scouts to get a feel for who they liked as potential late first-to-second-round picks.
However, this class is so wide open that it was very difficult to narrow it down to 60 players. I currently have a list of 109 players who agents and scouts feel have a good shot at being drafted.
Obviously at this point, the second round is still very unsettled. As several players listed could end up being first-rounders and many may end up undrafted.
Consider joining the NBA governors, general managers, coaches, scouts and players — as well as the draft junkies and casual fans — who enjoy full access to NBA Big Board. Believe me, I get a little thrill from every single subscription.
And if you want to give NBA Big Board an additional boost, please consider providing an amount of your choosing as a Big Board Member.
31. Kyshawn George
Miami
Freshman
Wing
6’8”| 205
Age on draft night: 20.6
George has impressed scouts with his blend of size, passing instincts, and hot outside shooting. He is an above-average ball-handler and playmaker who is taking a back seat on a veteran Miami team featuring Wooga Poplar and Matthew Cleveland. George is playing primarily as a spot-up 3-point shooter but has shown flashes of point-forward potential. I firmly believe there’s a lot more to his game than he's been able to showcase.
He's shooting 42% from 3 this season on four attempts per game, and with his size, his playmaking could be the swing skill that determines the trajectory of his draft range.
32. Melvin Ajinca
Saint-Quentin (France)
International
Wing
6’8”| 220
Age on draft night: 19.9
The allure of Ajinca is obvious. He has an NBA body, positional size, athleticism, and he is shooting 40% on catch-and-shoot jumpers this season. He also plays a coveted position in the league, is a plus on the defensive end, and shows promise as an isolation shot-maker.
33. Trevon Brazile
Arkansas
Sophomore (RS)
Post
6’10”| 220
Age on draft night: 21.4
Scouts considered Brazile a potential first-round prospect before tearing an ACL nine games into his sophomore season in 2022-23.
Before the injury, Brazile wowed NBA scouts with a mix of explosive plays above the rim, shot-blocking, defensive versatility, and floor-spacing potential. His 3-point shooting makes it easy to project him as a stretch big, as Brazile has knocked down 35% of his attempts from downtown in 28 games since transferring to Arkansas.
While he hasn't shown the same vertical pop and explosiveness as he displayed last season, NBA teams love his upside and are encouraged by his recovery.
Athletic bigs who can stretch the floor, finish at the rim, and defend multiple positions have a clear path to success in the NBA, and Brazile's continued improvement gives scouts hope that he might round out his game with time.
34. Trey Alexander
Creighton
Junior
Guard
6’4”| 190
Age on draft night: 21.1
Alexander drew NBA interest last season but opted to return to Creighton to improve his draft stock.
The results have been mixed, as he's shown improvement as a playmaker (4.6 assists per game) and is one of the better-rebounding wings in the nation at 6.2 boards per game.
However, his 3-point shooting is down to 30.2% after making 41% of his attempts last season.
Alexander is more of a shooting guard than a point guard, which is why teams worry a bit about how his game translates to the pros. He lacks elite size and strength to play the 2, but on sheer ability, he’s got first-round talent.
35. PJ Hall
Clemson
Senior
Forward
6’10” | 238
Age on draft night: 22.3
Hall is a terrific scorer who can stretch the defense, finish around the basket, and protect the paint.
He's stuffing the stat sheet this season, averaging 19.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.1 blocks while shooting 52% from the field and 32% from 3. Hall shot 39.8% from deep as a junior, but his numbers dipped with an increased workload this season.
Hall looks like one of the more NBA-ready prospects in this class, with 3-point shooting at his size being the most significant selling point.
36. DJ Wagner
Kentucky
Freshman
Guard
6’4” | 190
Age on draft night: 19.1
It’s been a rocky start for the highly touted freshman. While he’s shown he can score, Wagner is not an elite athlete and is a better scorer than passer, which causes some scouts to question whether he can play the point at the next level.
Wagner has become one of the more polarizing prospects in this class. He's one of the best pure scorers in the draft and is aggressive looking for his shot. The question is whether he can do anything to help teams win when the ball isn’t in his hands.
His lack of ideal size for his position and score-first mentality somewhat limit his upside, but he’s a very intriguing prospect.
37. Tyler Kolek
Marquette
Senior
Point Guard
6’3”| 195
Age on draft night: 21.4
Kolek has a super high basketball IQ and knows how to run a team, which, combined with the ability to score off the bounce or as a shooter, is appealing.
He always seems to make the right decision with the ball, whether passing or shooting and is a very effective pick-and-roll playmaker.
Kolek is a physical and crafty finisher at the basket who creatively finds ways to overcome his lack of size and athleticism when getting to the rim. Scouts are drawn to his experience and love how he plays with toughness on both ends of the floor.
However, he’s missing the ideal physical tools and quickness which may prevent him from being a sure-fire first-rounder.
38. Ulrich Chomche
NBA Academy (Africa)
International
Center
6’11” | 235
Age on draft night: 18.4
Chomche might be the single most intriguing player on this list. NBA scouts have been secretly crushing on him for a while, and his breakout performance at the G League Showcase for NBA Academy Africa had many seeing Chomche as a potential top-10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
He's a blank canvas as a raw, athletic, and mobile big still figuring out his game in Africa. However, his tremendous upside as a defender and shooter intrigues scouts who believe he could develop into a five who can guard both the paint and the perimeter at the next level.
Listed at 6'11" with a 7'4" wingspan, Chomche shows flashes of attacking the rim on straight line drives, a soft touch around the rim, and a promising 3-point stroke.
Chomche has a December 30 birthday, and NBA rules state that all drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft, making him barely eligible for the 2024 class.
The Cameroonian native would be a major development project, no doubt. But players with his size and athletic fluidity don’t come along every day, and an NBA team taking him in the first round and developing him in the G League isn't out of the question.
39. Tyrese Proctor
Duke
Sophomore
Guard
6’5”| 185
Age on draft night: 20.2
After significant preseason hype, Proctor's underwhelming sophomore season has pushed him from the lottery to potentially the second round.
He’s not as sexy a prospect as I once thought, but Proctor's size, steadiness, and flashes of shot-making will appeal to teams in search of a versatile rotation guard.
He’s sporting an impressive 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio but is still an inconsistent shooter and average finisher at the rim in traffic, only converting 56% of his shots at the rim.
At this point, Proctor projects as more of a complementary player than a lead guard, but NBA teams are looking for players like Proctor at this point in the draft.
40. Devin Carter
Providence
Junior
Guard
6’3” | 195
Age on draft night: 22.3
Carter is one of the most improved players in the country this season and has skyrocketed up draft boards in the past few weeks.
Scouts believe he has all the tools needed to succeed in the NBA; he plays with an aggressive mentality, has translatable skills as an on-the-ball defender, ball-handler, and shows promise as a shooter.
Some GMs, wanting more upside, might pass on him, while others feel he has one of the highest floors of anyone in the draft.
But no one doubts his defensive talent, toughness, and ability to impact a game. At 6'3", Carter has combined to average 2.5 stocks (blocks + steals) per game.
41. Jared McCain
Duke
Freshman
Guard
6’3”| 195
Age on draft night: 20.3
McCain entered college with a reputation as one of the best shooters in his class and has lived up to the hype.
Whether it’s draining long-range bombs off the catch, shooting on the move or converting contested pull-ups off the dribble — he's a dangerous scorer as soon as he steps on the floor.
While his shot-making is intriguing, his lack of size, elite athleticism, and questions about how his game translates to the next level have caused teams to be more cautious about where to project him.
42. Malique Lewis
Mexico City Capitanes
Wing
6’8” | 190
Age on draft night: 19.7
To say Lewis has come out of nowhere is an understatement.
He wasn’t on anyone’s radar as a potential draft pick this year and is quietly rising up draft boards with his strong play down in Mexico City.
Lewis is an athletic forward who can guard both 3s and 4s, scores in a variety of ways (spotting up, cutting, and finishing in transition), and projects as a potential 3-and-D prospect at the next level.
The Trinbagonian 6’8” forward gained experience in Spain's ACB with Fuenlabrada last season and has been a pleasant surprise in the G League.
Expect his buzz to increase after scoring 13 points and grabbing six rebounds on 5-for-6 shooting against G League Ignite in front of a host of NBA scouts.
With great workouts, he could end up sneaking into the first round.
43. Jamir Watkins
Florida State
Junior
Wing
6’7” | 210
Age on draft night: 22.11
Watkins is an interesting prospect whose ability to get to the basket and defend multiple positions has scouts whispering he could be a first-round pick. He's a tough, aggressive downhill slasher who plays with pace and excels at scoring in the paint and drawing fouls. At 6'7", Watkins leads the Seminoles in scoring, rebounds, and assists.
Adding a consistent 3-point shot to his game would boost his stock, as he often passes up open looks for a contested layups in traffic.
44. Adem Bona
UCLA
Sophomore
Post
6’10” | 245
Age on draft night: 21.2
Bona is appealing due to his elite explosiveness, length, motor and shot-blocking ability.
He's still raw offensively, scoring only from lobs, hustle plays, and hard rolls to the basket. However, he has an opportunity to carve out a role as an energetic defensive anchor.
Bona is starting to show glimpses of a midrange jumper, which could significantly improve his draft stock if it becomes a bigger weapon in his arsenal.
45. Bobi Klintman
Cairns (Australia)
International
Forward
6’10” | 225
Age on draft night: 21.2
Klintman has been up and down this season on paper, averaging 10.6 points and 4.9 rebounds per game on 44/34/82 shooting splits.
I'm lower on him than the consensus, but scouts are high on his potential as a two-way player who can defend, knock down open shots, and create scoring opportunities for teammates.
46. Kwame Evans Jr.
Oregon
Freshman
Forward
6’9” | 200
Age on draft night: 19.8
After a rocky start to the season, Evans has shown flashes of his two-way potential in recent games.
His breakout performance last month against USC, where he put up a career-high 22 points with eight rebounds and five steals while shooting 3-for-4 from 3, is precisely why some scouts say he’s a first-round sleeper.
Evans is averaging 8.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 blocks in only 22 minutes while shooting 46% from the field and 27% from 3. He’s got makings of a nice jump shot, despite the inefficient numbers, but his 81.8% free throw percentage is encouraging.
Rangy, versatile, 6’9” two-way wings don’t come along every day, and Evans might be worth a flier late in the first round or early second.
47. Judah Mintz
Syracuse
Sophomore
Guard
6’4” | 185
Age on draft night: 20.9
Mintz is a high-level scorer with flair who has garnered buzz as a potential first-round prospect. However, there is a big gap between his supporters and detractors. He’s a bit of a love/hate prospect.
His supporters love his speed, scoring, ability to get his shot off from just about anywhere on the floor, and supreme confidence.
His detractors point to his 3-point shooting, shot selection, and thin frame.
Mintz loves the mid-range pull-up jumper but only shoots 22% on shots off the bounce.
Several scouts believe he’s best suited as an instant offense/microwave scorer that excels as the primary ball-handler off the bench.
48. Pacome Dadiet
Ratiopharm Ulm (Germany)
International
Wing
6’8”| 210
Age on draft night: 18.10
Dadiet continues to put up impressive numbers in Europe for a player his age. He is a 6-foot-8, sweet-shooting forward that can handle in space and is a sneaky good ball mover who loves to zip cross-court skip passes to shift defenses.
Dadiet shows promise as a self-creator off the dribble, shooting 50% on pull-up jumpers and 66% at the rim.
49. Jaxon Robinson
BYU
Senior
Wing
6’7”| 190
Age on draft night: 21.5
Scouts have been scouring this draft class for viable wings, and Robinson's start for BYU has been a revelation.
He projects as one of the top shooters in this class, draining 36% of his shots beyond the arc, and has the makings of a prototypical 3-and-D wing in the NBA.
Robinson is a capable ball handler who can attack closeouts and has the size and tools to defend multiple positions. And he’s just 21 years old -- very young for a senior.
He’s been ice cold from 3 over the last month, only shooting 22% from 3 on 45 attempts.
50. Justin Edwards
Kentucky
Freshman
Wing
6’8”| 200
Age on draft night: 20.5
Edwards came into the season as a potential No. 1 pick; however, the first 18 games have been disappointing. His shaky freshman season at Kentucky has pushed him from the lottery to middle of the second round.
Billed as a versatile offensive weapon in high school, Edwards has struggled mightily with his shot and appears to lack the quickness or explosion to create the separation at the NBA level.
Edwards has the physical tools that NBA teams covet in a forward, but his jump shot will have to improve as he's only shooting 28.9% from 3.
His poor shooting, decision-making, and lack of assertiveness have left NBA scouts concerned.
51. Baba Miller
Florida State
Sophomore
Wing
6’11”| 205
Age on draft night: 20.3
Florida State players tend to outperform their college play once they enter the NBA, and that is the hope for Baba Miller.
Despite so-so production, Miller is an alluring prospect due to his guard-like skills on a 6'11” frame. Scouts are fond of his blend of size, length, ball handling, shooting upside, and basketball IQ.
It's been really tough to place Miller the past few months. He was 25th on Big Board 1.0 and slides down to 51 here. He’s still very much a work in progress. He offers significant upside in the second round for a team willing to take a risk.
There are pressing concerns about how he’ll develop in the NBA. Teams value his athleticism and defensive mobility, but most believe he’s a few years away from contributing.
He's also a terrible foul shooter, shooting only 52% from the line, which is actually an improvement from the 30% he shot last season.
52. Dillon Mitchell
Texas
Freshman
Wing
6’8”| 205
Age on draft night: 20.7
Scouts have had an affinity for Mitchell since his freshman year. He's improved as a sophomore, but not quite as much as scouts had hoped. He’s more a glue guy than a dominant-in-any-one-thing type of player, but his length, motor, and ability to defend multiple positions are enticing.
Mitchell is an unusual player as he's a wing with a weak handle and has only made seven shots outside of the paint in 54 career games. Scouts are divided on his impact at the next level, but he has several believers that see him as a potential first-rounder.
Mitchell is going to have to improve as a shooter and scorer to become the ideal wing NBA teams covet. His offense is limited to offensive rebound putbacks, dunks in transition and lobs.
53. AJ Johnson
Illawarra Hawks (Australia)
International
Point Guard
6’5” | 175
Age on draft night: 19.6
Johnson would be a low-risk, high-reward pick who could easily outperform his draft position. He's struggled to earn consistent minutes after entering the season with high expectations but has shown enough promise to be at least a second-round pick. Johnson has the size, athleticism, and quickness teams covet in a combo guard. He ranks as one the most clever scorers and shifty ball-handlers in this class, but his thin frame and lack of strength suggest he'll need some time to develop. The good news is Johnson is reportedly up to 175 pounds after beginning the season at 168.
54. Trentyn Flowers
Adelaide 36ers (Australia)
International
Forward
6’8”| 190
Age on draft night: 19.3
After an awful start and a failed stint as a point guard where he posted five turnovers and 13 assists at the NBL Blitz, Flowers has settled into a role as an athletic slasher and dangerous floor spacer for the Adelaide 36ers.
He's currently shooting 39% from downtown and making 40% of his catch-and-shoot jumpers. He's also converting a respectable 53% of his attempts at the rim as an 18-year-old playing in a physical professional league that is 5000 miles away from home.
Flowers's size, athleticism, shooting, and flashes of offensive creativity off the bounce make him one of this class's more intriguing long-term prospects.
55. Tristan Da Silva
Colorado
Senior
Forward
6’9”| 220
Age on draft night: 23.10
Da Silva is having a solid senior season, averaging 15.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 36.3% from deep. He projects as a stretch big with a good feel for the game.
He’s not an elite athlete, is weak on the glass, and needs to add toughness, but the demand for shooting keeps him in the mix for the first round.
56. Arthur Kaluma
Kansas State
Junior
Wing
6’7”| 225
Age on draft night: 22.3
Despite having a solid season at Kansas State, Kaluma currently has minimal draft buzz despite being on NBA radars since his freshman year.
Kaluma is coming off a strong performance against Baylor, scoring 12 points, grabbing ten rebounds, dishing out two assists, and shooting 3-for-6 from 3.
In 18 games, he’s averaging 15.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists while shooting 45% from the field and 40.7% from 3 on 4.5 attempts per game.
Kaluma's appeal is he's a 6’8” wing with a 7-foot wingspan who can shoot, handle the ball, play multiple positions, and bring energy and hustle on both ends of the floor.
57. Milan Momcilovic
Iowa State
Freshman
Forward
6’8”| 210
Age on draft night: 24.11
Momcilovic is in the discussion for top shooters in the draft and has the numbers to back it up.
He's been a pleasant surprise for the Cyclones, averaging 13 points per game and shooting 39.8% from 3 with more than five attempts per game.
Momcilovic has unlimited range on his jump shot, can attack closeouts, and uses his size to his advantage in the mid/low post against smaller defenders. His lack of athleticism leads to tough shots when he's forced to put the ball on the floor, but he’s a very intriguing prospect.
58. Alex Karaban
Connecticut
Sophomore
Forward
6’8”| 220
Age on draft night: 21.6
Karaban is an elite shooter with deep range on his jumper, a quick release, and a surprisingly good finisher at the rim despite his athletic limitations.
He’s lethally efficient, shooting 53.3% from the floor, 40.2% from 3, and 88% from the charity stripe, while scoring 15 points and grabbing 5.8 rebounds per game.
Karaban has a defined role as a complimentary 3-point specialist.
59. Dillon Jones
Boise State
Senior
Forward
6’6”| 235
Age on draft night: 22.6
Jones isn’t the sexiest prospect on the planet, but he plays so hard, is so versatile and impacts the game on both ends of the court in ways that have endeared him to NBA scouts who see him as a tough, high-energy role player of the type that’s often a perfect pick for a team drafting in the 20s.
60. Carlton “Bub” Carrington
Pittsburgh
Freshman
Guard
6’5”| 190
Age on draft night: 18.9
Carrington rocketed up draft boards early in the season, only to come back to earth in the last few weeks. For the first half of the season he put up big numbers offensively as both a shooter and a playmaker, but as his shot quit falling and his turnovers increased when defenses keyed on him, scouts became more pessimistic about his long-term draft stock.
61. Kylan Boswell
Arizona
Sophomore
Point Guard
6’2”| 200
Age on draft night: 19.1
Boswell is one of the younger prospects in the draft with multiple years of college experience under his belt. At 6'2", 200 pounds, he’s built like an NFL safety and ranks as one of the better floor generals and passers in the country.
Boswell excels as a transition playmaker and spot-up shooter but doesn't have the speed and creativity off the dribble to apply pressure at the rim.
He projects as a backup game manager that makes up for his lack of athleticism with a high basketball IQ and pick-and-role passing.
62. Juan Nunez
Ratiopharm Ulm (Germany)
International
Point Guard
6’4”| 190
Age on draft night: 20.0
Nunez is your prototypical Spanish point guard; he's a terrific ambidextrous passer who sets the table and stabilizes the offense with his high basketball IQ.
At 6’3”, Nunez has good size for the point guard position and plays with an advanced feel for the game mixed with some flash and flare. He’s lethal both in the pick-and-roll and in the open court and is an improving shooter from beyond the arc, shooting 35% in German BBL and EuroCup play this season.
63. Kobe Johnson
USC
Junior
Guard
6’6”| 200
Age on draft night: 21.4
Johnson's offensive numbers won’t wow you, but he's a Swiss Army knife who checks a lot of boxes on both ends of the floor. He brings energy, defends, rebounds, and makes plays for others. His versatility and unselfishness made him a favorite of scouts as a second-round sleeper before the season.
But after showing promise as a shooter as a sophomore, when he made 36% of his 3-pointers, Johnson has regressed (shooting 28% from downtown), putting him in jeopardy of going undrafted.
64. Reece Beekman
Virginia
Senior
Point Guard
6’3”| 190
Age on draft night: 22.8
Beekman’s name is always mentioned when scouts talk about the best on-ball defenders in the nation. While his defense is the skill set he’ll hang his hat on, he’s a solid playmaker, dishing out 6 assists per game and scoring a career-high 13 points per contest. However, Beekman is a career 32% shooter from deep over 106 games — a significant concern for a point guard.
65. Harrison Ingram
North Carolina
Junior
Wing
6’8”| 230
Age on draft night: 21.6
NBA scouts have been intrigued by Ingram’s skill set as a big wing who can handle the ball, initiate the offense, and defend multiple positions since his high school days.
Listed at 6'7" 235 pounds, Ingram drew a lot of Draymond Green comparisons due to his high basketball IQ and playmaking but he never lived up to the one-and-done expectations.
Ingram has seen his ball handling and pick-and-roll duties reduced significantly since transferring to North Carolina, but has adjusted well to playing off the ball and is shooting an efficient 39% from deep on four attempts per game. In his two seasons at Stanford, Ingram shot 31% from long range over 65 games, so his improved shooting is very encouraging.
66. Baylor Scheierman
Creighton
Senior
Wing
6’7”| 205
Age on draft night: 23.8
Scheierman flirted with the NBA in 2022 but withdrew from the pre-draft process and transferred to Creighton.
As a fifth-year senior, Scheierman will be one of the older prospects in this class. His age (24 in September) and lack of athleticism are the big concerns. Scouts are divided on where to draft a player who is five years older than other players in his draft class.
Still, there's a lot to like about Scheirmans' game; over his career, he's averaged 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 39% from 3 over 147 games.
Scheierman is one of the more skilled players in the nation and, at the minimum, could have a defined role as a complimentary floor spacer.
67. Alijah Martin
Florida Atlantic
Junior
Guard
6’2”| 210
Age on draft night: 24.11
Martin is an elite athlete who excelled in football and track in Mississippi and is one of the more explosive leapers in college basketball. He plays bigger than his size (6’2”) and has the strength and toughness to defend bigger players. He’s also a career 38% shooter from 3 on 581 attempts.
His lack of reps and experience as a ball handler and decision-maker is the biggest concern. But Martin has his fair share of fans in NBA front offices due to his football background, competitive fire, and defensive potential.
68. Tyon Grant-Foster
Grand Canyon
Senior
Wing
6’7”| 210
Age on draft night: 24.3
Grant-Foster's story is one of the best in basketball. He was a big-time recruit out of JUCO who had stops at Kansas and DePaul before a medical scare sidelined him for two seasons.
Grant-Foster is a lottery-level talent who scores on three levels and ranks as one of the more creative scorers in this draft class. At 6'7", he’s a shifty ball handler with a quick first step, vertical pop, and a deep bag of tricks in his scoring arsenal.
Getting the green light from the NBA's appointed medical panel will be essential for TGF, because the talent is obvious.
69. Adama Bal
San Diego State
Junior
Wing
6’7”| 190
Age on draft night: 20.6
Bal has emerged as a legitimate NBA prospect in his breakout junior season at Santa Clara after scoring a total of 98 points in two years at Arizona.
Bal is a long-armed, versatile wing who can handle the ball and create scoring opportunities for teammates. He's been impressive as a scorer off the bounce, shooting 36% on dribble jumpers, 55% on runners, and a sizzling 67% at the rim.
Bal could be the third consecutive player from Santa Clara selected in the NBA draft, following in the footsteps of Jalen Williams and Brandin Podziemski.
Although he will have played three seasons before the 2024 NBA Draft, Bal will be only 20 on draft night.
70. Jaedon LeDee
San Diego State
Senior
Forward
6’9”| 240
Age on draft night: 24.11
I continue to hear good things about LaDee from teams looking for a versatile forward who can work in the post, rebound, be a playmaker, and space the floor.
LaDee is having a breakout season for San Diego State, averaging 20.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.5 assists on 56/38/ 73 shooting splits.
The biggest surprise is the efficiency from deep, despite the small sample size. Prior to this season, LeDee missed all 16 of his 3-point attempts in his college career. This season, he's 11-29 from downtown through 13 games.
LaDee has toughness and a great feel for the game, can defend multiple positions and has a uniquely unselfish passing game for a player of his profile.
His old-school game of strength, hustle, and grittiness, mixed with the ability to face up and attack in space, makes him one of the more unique prospects in this class.
The biggest knock on LeDee is he'll be 25 years old shortly after the draft.
71. Pelle Larson
Arizona
Senior
Wing
6’6”| 215
Age on draft night: 23.4
Larsson has shined for Arizona this season, filling up the stat sheet averaging 13.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists on an incredibly efficient 55/47/83 shooting splits.
His scoring efficiency from everywhere -- at the rim, in the midrange, and from 3 -- has helped his draft stock.
72. Aaron Scott
North Texas
Junior
Wing
6’7”| 200
Age on draft night: 20.11
Scouts have quietly been fond of Scott for the last two seasons. He improved as a sophomore but has broken out as a junior. He’s the ideal 3-and-D glue guy that defends multiple positions and knocks down open shots.
Scott's impact on both ends of the floor has made him a favorite of execs as a second-round sleeper. He's shooting 37% from 3, is a good rebounder and shot blocker for a player his size, and can guard three, maybe four positions defensively.
73. Kanaan Carlyle
Stanford
Freshman
Guard
6’3”| 185
Age on draft night: 19.9
Carlyle is gifted score who is most lethal taking the ball to the rim, but he can pull up for jumpers and hit 3s as well He exudes confidence and loves to attack off the dribble and collect free throw attempts with his activity.
Carlyle projects as an off-the-bench microwave scorer due to his lack of elite size for his position and his score-first mentality.
74. Coleman Hawkins
Illinois

The draw for Hawkins is his combination size, passing and defensive versatility.
Coleman has teased scouts over his career with his flashes of outside shooting, as he looks comfortable as a movement shooter who can score off pindowns and actions plays. The problem is, he's been inefficient throughout his career. This season, he's up to 36% from three while providing playmaking and collecting stocks.

Djurišić declared for the draft last year and didn’t get much traction, so how much his strong season in Serbia will boost his stock is a legit question.
He has good size for a wing ball handler at 6'8" and uses his strong frame and crafty scoring instincts to make up for his lack of NBA-level athleticism.
His greatest asset may be his court vision and promise as a big-wing facilitator, although he's prone to turnovers and inconsistent decision-making.
His combination of play-making, shooting, and offensive creativity makes him one of this draft class's more intriguing long-term prospects.
I watched PJ Hall when they were here in Toronto a few weeks ago. His size and skills will definitely translate to the NBA. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get picked late in the first round.
