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 […]

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 […]

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). […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]
