Guard Texas Tech Junior 6-6, 200 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 21.8 RPG: 6.6 APG: 1.9 Andre Emmett Notes: Withdrew from NBA Draft on June 18th The Skinny: Emmett was one of the players testing the waters in Chicago, and they may be too cold to his liking. While he took the […]

Ronald Dupree Profile
Forward LSU Senior 6-7, 210 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 15.8 RPG: 7.8 APG: 2.4 Ronald Dupree The Skinny: Dupree is a great athlete and leaper, but does he have a position? He didn’t really shed any light on that subject in Chicago. He drove to the hole with reckless abandon and […]
Marquis Daniels Profile
Forward Auburn Senior 6-6, 200 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 18.4 RPG: 6.2 APG: 3.3 Marquis Daniels Notes: Second Team All-SEC, Auburn team MVP The Skinny: Daniels was really non-descript in camp until Brandin Knight went down and he got a chance to run the point. After that, people started taking notice. […]
Matt Carroll Profile
Guard Notre Dame Senior 6-6, 212 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 19.5 RPG: 5.0 APG: 1.6 Matt Carroll The Skinny: Carroll primarily made his mark as an excellent shooter, especially during his senior season when he was a first team All-Big East player. He moves well without the ball and is not […]
Matt Bonner Profile
Forward Florida Senior 6-10, 237 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 15.2 RPG: 6.1 APG: 1.5 Matt Bonner Notes: Two-Time Academic All-American of the Year The Skinny: When we watched Bonner play in Chicago, we just couldn’t help but thinking of a bulkier version of Matt Bullard. Bonner consistently hit the outside shot […]
LaVell Blanchard Profile
Forward Michigan Senior 6-7, 215 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 16.2 RPG: 6.8 APG: 1.0 LaVell Blanchard Notes: First-Team All-Big Ten The Skinny: Blanchard didn’t generate much buzz with his play in Chicago. Why? He hardly took the ball to the basket. Most of the time, he settled for long jumpers that […]
Steve Blake Profile
Guard Maryland Senior 6-3, 160 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 11.6 RPG: 3.7 APG: 7.6 Steve Blake Notes: First-Team All-ACC The Skinny: For four years, Blake was a solid floor leader who never quite got his due, partly because he never put up huge numbers. He knows how to run a team, […]
Ronald Blackshear Profile
Guard Marshall Junior 6-5, 210 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 20.3 RPG: 3.6 APG: 1.6 Ronald Blackshear Notes: Second-Team All-MAC The Skinny: Blackshear could be the top deep shooter in the draft. His range extends way beyond the NBA three-point line and his lightning quick release allows him to get his shot […]
Mario Austin Profile
Forward Mississippi State Junior 6-9, 260 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 15.8 RPG: 7.8 APG: 1.2 Mario Austin Notes: Two-Time All-SEC Team, Honorable Mention, All-American The Skinny: Austin has flirted with entering the draft seemingly every year out of high school, but this year he’s definitely in (he’s signed with an agent). […]
Kendrick Perkins Profile
Center Clifton J. Ozen HS 6-11, 290 2002-03 Stats: Kendrick Perkins The Skinny: This 285-pound big man is a load in the post. He scores on the post almost with ease at times, largely using a jump hook, rebounds well, and can block shots. He doesn’t run the floor exceedingly […]
