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 […]

Center South Florida Senior 6-11, 249 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 15.9 RPG: 8.1 APG: 1.1 Will McDonald Notes: Second-Team All-Conference USA The Skinny: After playing well in Portsmouth, a lot was expected out of McDonald at Chicago. Unfortunately he didn’t really deliver. McDonald played OK, but didn’t really show much other […]

Center Greece 6-9, 287 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 11.0 RPG: 6.2 Sofoklis Schortsanitis The Skinny: Schortsanitis is one of two players (Darko Milicic being the other) that the NBA changed its ruling to allow into the draft. Known as “Baby Shaq” in his native Greece, Schortsanitis is obviously a load in […]

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). […]

Forward Memphis Senior 6-9, 255 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 16.7 RPG: 10.8 APG: 1.5 Chris Massie Notes: First-Team All-Conference USA The Skinny: The top rebounder in camp, Massie had his way in the paint whenever he felt like it. Using his Anthony Mason-like physique, he essentially threw people around as much […]

Forward Rep. of Georgia 6-11, 250 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 9.5 RPG: 5.5 Zaur Pachulia The Skinny: Pachulia is another European that stayed in the draft because he apparently got a first round guarantee (he entered the draft last year but withdrew). He has risen through the Turkish basketball ranks and […]

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 […]

Center Western Kentucky Senior 7-1, 285 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 17.8 RPG: 6.4 APG: 3.1 Chris Marcus Notes: Injured much of past two seasons, Honorable Mention, All-American 2001-02 The Skinny: Many people forget that two years ago, everyone thought Marcus was a surefire lottery pick. Even last season when the foot […]

Guard Argentina 6-7, 200 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 9.8 RPG: 5.6 Carlos Delfino The Skinny: With the instant success of Argentinian Manu Ginobili with the Spurs this past season, fellow countryman Carlos Delfino figures to get a lot of attention in this year’s draft. A good athlete like Ginobili – although […]

Forward Starkville HS 6-9, 210 2002-03 Stats: PPG: 25.0 RPG: 10.0 Travis Outlaw The Skinny: This exceptional athlete has loads of potential that will be unleashed when his skills catch up and when he fills out his frame. He doesn’t shoot the ball well and does not post up very […]
