| You're joking, right? | |||||
| Randolph Morris | Kentucky | Fr. | C | 265 | 6-11 |

| Anthony Roberson | Florida | Jr. | G | 180 | 6-1 |
| A 6-1 shooting guard? Bad decision. | |||||
| Nate Robinson | Washington | Jr. | G | 170 | 5-9 |

| NBA scouts weren't flocking to Olivet Nazarene. | |||||
| Ricky Sanchez | IMG Academy (Fla.) | HS | F | 205 | 6-11 |
| He's tantalizing (a 6-11 wing!) but skinny, inexperienced. | |||||
| Chris Taft | Pittsburgh | So. | F | 260 | 6-10 |
| High ceiling, but mediocre sophomore year will scare some teams. | |||||
| Charlie Villanueva | UConn | So. | F | 230 | 6-11 |

| Future NBA All-Star does everything, and is nice to boot. | |||||
| Kennedy Winston | Alabama | Jr. | G | 230 | 6-6 |
| Big, strong guard will make some -- not a lot -- of $$$. | |||||
| Antoine Wright | Texas A&M | Jr. | F | 195 | 6-7 |
| Slippery and smooth, he's going to be a good pro. | |||||
| Bracey Wright | Indiana | Jr. | G | 200 | 6-3 |
| Small and one-dimensional, he won't be a good pro. | |||||
