Point Guards
1. Kyrie Irving C+ B C+ C+ D A
The Duke guard has amazing ball handling skills. Coach K has said in the past that he wishes Irving would pass the ball more but when your shooting over .500 percent there isn't much you can say. In high school, Irving was more of a scorer while playing against elite competition. In college, Irving's game became more an all around with the exception of his defense. Known to steal the ball but lacks the physical skills to play man to man defense. Great potential

2. Damian Lillard C A- C C C- A
Regarded as a two star prospect in high school, Lillard went to a mid major school at Weber State. Lillard lead the nation in scoring for most of the 2011-2012 season with 24ppg. Silky smooth jump shot. Lillard amazed scouts with his scoring abilities. Can play either guard position. Easily the best player at the combine and went from being a late lottery pick to a top five player in the draft. Amazing potential

3. Brandon Knight C+ C+ C C+ C- B
A top ten recruit out of high school who decided to play for Coach Calipari at Kentucky. During his time at Kentucky, scouts felt Knight was more of a combo guard than an actual point guard. Loves to play hero ball. If Knight can start passing the ball more, you have a solid prospect on your hands. Good potential. Despite his incredible sophomore season, the freshman duo Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist outshined him.

4. Jrue Holiday C+ C C+ B+ C- B
In high school, Holiday was ranked as one of the best college recruits in the nation in the class of 2008. Holiday would start his college career at UCLA where he played shooting guard his freshman year. By his sophomore year, Holiday showed he could be a natural point guard. By his junior year, injuries set him back derailing his draft stock. As a senior, Holiday showed maturity and high basketball IQ. Great defender who can drive the ball. Pretty good passer and ball handler. If Holiday can start knocking down three pointers, he should have a good career. Solid potential.

5. Dennis Schröder C C+ C+ C D A
Regarded as one of the best talents in German basketball since Dirk Nowitzki. In his second season in Braunschweig, Dennis averaged 17.8 points and 6.7 assists over 23 regular season games. Great jumper and passer. Needs to improve on his strength and defense. Teams willing to wait for Dennis to develop could find a nice piece of treasure. Great potential
