Mark Eaton B- D- C- B+ B+ C
Though limited offensively, Eaton's 7 ft 4 height helps him to be one of the best defensive centers in the draft. Eaton needs to focus on protecting the basket better. Not the best athlete but uses his strength to his advantage. Continues to have an unstoppable hook shot. Limited potential

LaSalle Thompson B- D+ D B- B- A
Nicknamed the Tank due to his strong physique. Great rebounder. Needs to work on shooting form. Will have trouble at the free throw line. Defensively, he can guard the paint, quicker guards can get easy baskets due to his quickness. Can score around the basket. Good potential

Wallace Bryant B C- C- C+ C+ B
Fluid athlete who has all the tools to be an effective two-way big, though his defense needs to develop. He’s made dramatic overall progress from his sophomore to senior seasons, but is still an unfinished project. Good potential

Chuck Nevitt C D F+ B C+ B
Powerful, athletic, with a strong build, good transition game and able to alter opponents shots. Great post defense. Offensive game is raw but scouts feel he can improve with the right team. Solid rebounder. Good potential

Don St. John B- D+ C- C C+ B
A bruising center who can overpower opponents in the lane and also has great quickness and agility. Has a nice skill level for a young big but doesn’t have ideal length or vertical explosion. Will need to improve his basketball IQ defensively. Gets lost in the defensive end especially when he is scoring then ball giving up easy buckets for the other teams. Good potential

Vincent Diaz-Miguel C+ C D+ C+ C+ A
Silky smooth shooting stroke who needs to become more confident in the paint. Very slow so he has trouble with driving guards but his length allows him to be effective altering shots at the rim. Great potential

Mark McNamara C+ D- F+ C+ B- A
Elite strength as Mark spends too much time in the gym and not on the court. His touch is poor around the rim and his biceps hurt his shooting form. Bullies people down low and is effective playing man defense but cant create turnovers. Needs to improve positioning on rebounds. Excellent potential
