NBA POTENTIAL / AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:
 
1.   MCW has the size, vision and shooting ability to play in the NBA, but currently lacks the body.  Can he bulk up enough to be able to defend physical point guards ?  If so, he's a pro.
 
2.  Rakeem Christmas - he has the size of an NBA 4.  He has no jump shot, however.  If he can't develop a serviceable mid-range jump shot in the next couple years, forget about him ever playing in the NBA.  He's too small to play center.
 
3.  Jerami Grant - he has a lot of ability and skill.  He has a well-rounded game, can play inside and outside.  Blocks shots, has good hops, nice form on his shot, very smooth.  Great instincts.  Will he learn to rebound and bang?  He will be looked at as an NBA 3.  I can see him going in the first round in a couple years, if he works hard and fills out a bit.
 
4.  Coleman.  I haven't seen enough of him, but if he can get his conditioning together and has a decent mid-range jump shot, I think he has a shot.  He's got soft hands, uses his body well, and doesn't act like a small forward in a big man's body, always hanging out at the 3 point line.  We'll have to see about his motor and his work ethic, but the tools are there for him to be successful.
 
CJ Fair, James Southerland, Brandon Triche, Baye Keita, Trevor Cooney - Cooney may have a slim shot of making it, but the rest of them will be playing overseas.
