Perry Jones 6-11, 235 lbs. PF Baylor, So. Through two seasons at Baylor, Jones III never became the star he seemed destined to be, but the potential is there for him to become a great. The versatile power for- ward may not want to be the "the man" on a team making Jones III the wild card of the draft. Arnett Moultrie 6-11, 230 lbs. PF Mississippi State, Jr. The long, athletic forward/center really came on as one of the best players in the SEC. After transferring from Texas El-Paso, Moultrie showcased that he has a big game on the defensive end and on the glass. Austin Rivers 6-5, 203 lbs. SG Duke, Fr. The lightning quick combo guard has the pedigree and confidence working for him already. With his quick first step and shoot- ing ability, Rivers is the complete package on offense. Jeremy Lamb 6-5, 180 lbs. SG Connecticut, So. The silky smooth wing is the next great scorer to come out of UConn, following Ray Allen and Richard Hamilton. Lamb is a very good three-point shooter, but gets a lot of his points off screens, playing off the ball, and inside the arc as well. 45 Meyers Leonard 7-1, 250 lbs. C Illinois, So. The big 7-footer improved dramatically this year by adding strength and imposing himself as a defensive force in the paint. He still has a long way to go with his strength, but Leonard has a lot of potential. John Henson 6-10, 216 lbs. PF North Carolina, Jr. Henson gives a lot up in terms of strength and offensive skill, but he is an elite shot- blocker and quality rebounder. His shooting has also improved this season, showing he can be a solid mid-range shooter. JONES: BAYLOR MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS/MATTHEW MINARD; LEONARD: U.
