PGs
Jordan Clarkson C B- B- C+ C- A
Clarkson is not the most athletic guy on the court but he has one of the best handles in the draft. High basketball IQ and ideal point guard traits. Pretty good jump shot and three point shot. He can also get in between the lanes to score. Not the greatest passer. Could play either guard position. A ball hawk who may need time to develop on the perimeter. Definitely top five material. Great potential.

Elfrid Payton C+ D+ A- B- C- C
Most ready point guard. Very limited potential. But for teams looking for a starting point, he may be your guy. Tremendous court vision. Great passer and solid handles. Very quick. Pretty solid all around defender. Payton's greatest weakness is his outside shooting. Ball dominant point guards who can't score are becoming a dying breed. Just ask Rondo

Dante Exum C+ C C+ C+ C- A 
Great size and length for a Point guard. Can play in either transition or in the half court. Can play with the ball or without it. Not the greatest outside shooter but scouts feel he can develop over time. Teams wonder how he will adjust to playing in the States. Many teams felt he should have played a year in the NCAA before turning pro. One thing is for sure, Exum may be the best point guard in the draft if he can put it all together mentally. But he also has a high risk at becoming a bust because his skills are unknown except playing in the World vs USA game. Great potential

Shabazz Napier C- B- C+ C D B
Napier led UConn on an amazing run in the NCAA tournament to win a national championship. Amazing leader. Great outside shooter. However teams wonder about his size. A shoot first point guard who will have problems defensively early on. Will need to add muscle on his body or could have problems defending other guards. Solid potential

Tyler Ennis C C+ C+ C- D B
Ennis amazed scouts throughout the college season. Great in transition. Pushes the ball very well. Good leader and floor general. Great three point shooter with a solid jump shot. Can be a bit of a streaky shooter. Physically he needs much improvement. He will also need to work on his defense. Overall solid potential

Russ Smith C- C+ B- C+ C- B
Floor general. Thats what his college coach Rick Petino calls him. You wont find a better PG in this class with his combination of handles and passing. Above average perimeter defender with average hands. Can create his own space for a shot but dont trust him behind the 3 point line. Will need a season or two to be a meaningful starter. Very good potential.

David Stockton C- C- B C D+ B
Name sound familiar? It should! Son of John Stockton and he carries his dads legacy in that he is a great passer. Don't rely on him for offense but he gets the ball to the right person. Average potential.

Spencer Dinwiddie C C+ C B C- C
Would rather put the ball through the hoop instead of passing. Very good shooter who can create his own shot. Average defender with a knack for getting his hand in the way. Average potential.

Nick Johnson C- C C+ C D B
Above average passer but known to dribble to much and turn it over. Very good perimeter defender who will need time to grow into a role player. Very good potential.

Aaron Craft C B- C C- D+ C
Very good shooter with average ball handling skills but quick. Not much else to his game. Limited potential.
