Prior to the season, I would have said that Ayo Dosunmu was a likely first round pick. Things have changed, though. With this being a guard-heavy draft, Dosunmu is getting lost in the shuffle a bit. Still, his explosiveness is an attractive attribute. He has plenty of room to grow, but for now, he’s falling for me.
Aaron Henry has had some good moments for the Spartans as a sophomore. If he can figure things out offensively, he’ll be a very well-rounded player. He’s got good size at 6’6″, he can drive it and can serve as a secondary playmaker. He could potentially use another year in college, but his future is promising.
Kaleb Wesson has added a three-point shot to his bag of tricks, and that’s set him up as one of the early risers so far. He can hurt you inside and outside, but does lack defensive upside. He’s averaging 14.4 points and 9.6 rebounds while shooting 43 percent from deep on over three attempts per night.
Corey Kispert has been incredibly efficient for Gonzaga this season, shooting 50 percent from the field and 42 percent from three-point land. He doesn’t take a ton of shots, but he plays his role perfectly, and that’s what makes him so good. He’ll need to improve defensively as he transitions to the next level.
Gonzaga’s Filip Petrusev is super skilled, possessing a soft touch around the rim and away from the rim. The big man is averaging 16.6 points and 7.4 rebounds for the Bulldogs as a sophomore. He’s improved as an interior defender and simply has a high skill level compared to others at his position.
Devon Dotson made an impression on NBA teams when testing out the pre-draft process a year ago, and he’s made improvements as a sophomore at Kansas. The combo-guard is averaging 18.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists. His three-point shooting is down, but overall, he looks good.
Tyrell Terry is one of the more underrated freshman guards in the country. He’s averaging 15.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists for Stanford and has impressed many with his shot-making from the perimeter. He could be really dangerous if he stays in school, but he’s now popping up on draft radar.
Isaiah Joe is a big-time scorer and shooter. The sophomore from Arkansas continues to fire away from deep, attempting 10.9 triples per game and shooting 36 percent on them. He’s pretty athletic as well, but the shooting is what stands out right away. He has a ton of confidence from the perimeter and can fit on an NBA bench.
One of my favorite guards in all of college basketball has to be Grant Riller; the guy is just awesome. He continues to play exceptional basketball for Charleston, averaging 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting 52 percent from the field and 33 percent from deep. He’s just been so steady for three years now.
If he can stay healthy, Killian Tillie has shown that he can be a reliable and skilled stretch five. He shot over 40 percent from deep during his first three seasons, but is down to 37 percent as a senior. Still, he’s a good decision maker at the center spot and can serve as a backup at the NBA level.
