10. Kessler Edwards
The 6-8 forward out of Pepperdine was a great shooter in college. Kessler Edwards impressed at the combine, showing off his extremely versatile defense as well.
He has all the makings of being a great two-way player in the NBA. He can guard multiple positions and knock down NBA-range 3-pointers at a high level.
9. Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall is a 6-8 guard who spent one year at St. Joseph’s. He transferred to Texas A&M after his freshman season but declared for the NBA Draft earlier this year.
He does a little bit of everything on the court, averaging 10.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.7 assists his freshman year. Hall’s solid playmaking and large frame for the guard position make him a very intriguing prospect.
8. McKinley Wright IV
The 6-0 point guard out of Colorado has been skyrocketing up draft boards lately. He played well at the combine and teams are taking notice.
McKinley Wright IV averaged 15.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 5.7 assists in his senior season. His solid defense and playmaking abilities have been raising his draft stock.
7. David Duke
David Duke is a 6-5 point guard out of Providence. He spent three years in college and raised his draft stock by playing well at the combine.
He averaged 16.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in his final year with the Friars. In his second combine game, he put up eight points, four rebounds, and five assists.
6. Quentin Grimes
The 6-5 wing out of Houston is best described as a professional scorer. He can pull up from almost anywhere on the court and make defenders pay.
Quentin Grimes averaged 17.8 points and shot 40.3 percent from deep on 8.3 attempts in his final season at Houston. He even managed to put up a massive performance at the combine, scoring 27 points in one of the games.
