I haven't see Miller play since he tore his ACL this past season, and I'll be interested to see how much athleticism he retained post surgery. Prior to the injury, Miller could have been the best player in the class and a definite one and done.
I still think that will be the case, but you never know with a major knee injury. Miller also needs to take his defense more seriously, but with his length and athleticism that he always has had, I don't see that being a huge question mark going forward. He also needs to clean his room every once in a while. A very exciting player to watch, Thomas is one of those guys that may have a more limited ceiling than other players, but is ready to go for the NBA.
Playing anywhere from the shooting guard spot to power forward, Thomas is one of the most versatile incoming freshman in the nation. Thomas is already quite accomplished off the bounce and has greatly improved his spot up shooting this past year. While not on the level of a P.
Hairston, Thomas is still a very good shooting guard option with the most defensive potential of any guard in his class. Thomas is also a physical presence unlike most high school guys, and his size would help him more easily adapt to the pro game than many of his peers.
Thomas may not have the upside of some of the other guys on this list, but he should have a solid and very long NBA career. Thomas might just put up the best all around stats of any freshman next year. Beal has great size for a shooting guard, and by most accounts is still growing, which would be a bonus.
He has great range, maybe the best range in the class, and has the best mid-range game in the class. The only downside to his mid-range game is that on occasion, Beal is too hesitant to try and take the ball all the way to the hole. With his stroke, you would like to see him get to the free throw line a lot, and his game may not be conducive to that on the college or pro level. But on the rare occasions that he does go all the way to the hole, he is a very good finisher.
Beal is not a long defender, but he is very strong an plays harder on the defensive end than a lot of high school stars do. He is also a very smart player and a very good team player. Every team in the country would be lucky to have a Bradley Beal on their squad. Truthfully, I don't see a lot of improvement in his game with one year in college. He's already skilled enough and hard working enough for the NBA, and that's not going to change at Florida.
Reminds me of Eric Gordon. Yeah, it's subjective and can't really be defined, but I'm going to throw it out there anyways. James McAdoo is the best basketball player on the list. Maybe not the most talented or the "best" in terms of production, but from a knowing how to play the game standpoint, he is the best. He's another one of those guys that doesn't really have a single skill that just wows you, but he is really, really good at everything.
And add that to the fact that he has one of the more NBA ready bodies in his class, and McAdoo is a no-brainer for this list. Another thing that distinguishes McAdoo from most of his peers is his attitude and demeanor on the court.
McAdoo just really knows what he is doing on the floor and exudes confidence from the opening tip no matter the competition. McAdoo has a very good post game and an improving perimeter game, and plays very smart and heady defense. He does need to get a little stronger before he gets to the NBA, but he's getting there and is already close. McAdoo has the skill and ability to be a very good player at either forward position in the NBA. Only the need to improve his perimeter game prevents Gilchrist from leapfrogging the two guys ahead of him on the list.
But everything else about Gilchrist is off the charts. Start with his body. Gilchrist is an absolute rock, with great size, length and strength to be the ideal small forward. He is so strong that he is almost impossible to keep out of the lane and does a great job of finishing once he gets into the lane. Gilchrist is also the best defender in his class by far, and with his strength and length, Gilchrist can capably guard any position other than center better than almost anyone and could probably guard most college centers very well.
He guards all over the floor and has the best motor in the class. His ceiling is almost limitless if he can improve his shot, but it's already adequate enough for him to be a force as soon as he steps foot in the NBA. Throw in an incredible attitude and you have the makings of an absolute dream to coach. If you're an NBA GM and you need scoring heading into next year's draft, you probably can't do much better than to get Austin Rivers on your team. Rivers is a scoring machine and can basically score in any way imaginable.
While not having the most textbook shot of the class, Rivers knows how to get it done and get buckets. You could call him a streaky shooter, but if that's the case, then he gets on a whole bunch of streaks. Can he make threes? Can he hit the floater in traffic? No doubt. Can he finish at the rim? Of course. Sometimes, though, he might think he's too smart, as he tends to complain a lot if he doesn't get calls, and sometimes, it seems to take him out of his game.
But, he is just an incoming freshman, so a little immaturity isn't the end of the world. Defensively, Rivers has all of the ability in the world, but he just has to want to defend, which he doesn't always seem interested in. But I don't doubt that Coach K will be able to get that out of him.
No one back in the class had elevated their game like Davis. During his time at Perspectives Charter Chicago , he had a seven-inch growth spurt that began after his sophomore season. Davis had guard skills, an enormous wingspan and standing reach, and extreme mobility, although he was very thin.
He averaged 32 points, 22 rebounds and 7 blocks per game as a high school senior. These rankings are always fun, it just makes it even better when a former Kentucky player takes home the prize. Go Cats! Last Name Coaches need your parent's name. Email Please insert a valid email.
