2011 PF's

[jibbajabba614]

1. Tristan Thompson C D D+ B- B C
Thompson averaged 13.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game for the Texas Longhorns in 2010–11. Amazing rebounder. Great defender. Pretty good shot blocker. Really poor free throw shooter and passer. Tristan has limited potential but he is ready to start now. If you plan to compete and are in need of a defensive big, Tristan is the ideal player.

2. Markieff Morris C+ C D+ B- C B
Markieff saw limited minutes at Kansas but he looked great when he did play. Markieff and Marcus have always been together their whole life so scouts wonder how he will be on his own. He has the potential to be a great player but off the court issues could compromise that. Good inside scorer with a decent outside shot. Pretty good defender.

3. Marcus Morris C C C- C+ C+ C
Although Marcus saw more minutes than his brother, scouts feel Markieff has better potential due to the usage of his legs. Marcus has a little more wear and tear on his knees. But Marcus can prove all the critics wrong and become a starter in this league. Solid scorer and pretty good defensively.

4. Kenneth Faried C+ C C- C+ B B
Monster rebounder. Solid defender. Faried has to improve the rest of his game to become a great player. Scouts don't feel he has much growth to his game. Fans feel he was heavily criticized and think he has the potential to be a top rebounder in the league. Great strength and good athleticism.

5. Vernon Macklin C+ C- C B C B
Another guy who could turn into the steal of the draft. Probably the best defender in the draft. Not gonna get a ton of Blocks and Steals but this guy is tough. If he can develop his inside scoring and rebounding abilities, you may have a good PF.

6. Kyle Singler C- B C- D- D+ C
Singler averaged 16.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 34.8 minutes per game for the Blue Devils his final year. Great shooter but scouts feel he didn't progress through his years at Duke. Not strong or quick. And physically he is just not ready.
