[B]Kenneth Faried - Morehead State - Sophmore[/B]

6'8 and 215lbs

Props to Interminater for introducing me to this guy. I probably wouldn't have noticed this guy untill half way through the next season otherwise.

I love rebounders (a lot) and this guy should be the best rebounder in college next season, with both Griffin and Blair in the NBA, so he automatically jumps up my list of favourite players.

08-09 stats: 13.9 ppg / 13 rpg (4.25 orpg) / 1.4 apg / 55 fg%

Grabbed double digit rebounds in 30 games (including the NCAA tournament).

Best game: 27 points with 24 rebounds in 30 minutes against Florida A&M

Pulled down 21 rebounds against Alabama State in the play in game for the NCAA tourney.

Had 25 double doubles in 08-09

Grabbed 17.3 rp40, with 5.7 orp40

Here's an article on the guy, [url]http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3988832[/url]

E'Twaun Moore if he ever realizes trying hard from time to time helps in basketball.

Dejuan Blair - He is a 2nd rounder.

Sherron Collins - Kansas
Jarvis Varnado - Mississippi State
Manny Harris - Michigan
Malcolm Delaney - Virginia Tech
Tyler Smith - Tennessee
Giorgi Shermadini - Panathinaikos

All could do great next year that are currently in the second round.

I completely expect Battle to stay all 4 years, his brother (Taran Buie) will be a freshman his senior year and I think they really look forward to playing together. I know you weren't saying Battle'll leave, just that he'd be drafted, and I agree, just sayin.

[B]Malcolm Grant - Miami - Sophomore[/B]

'07-'08 Stats: 12.7 mpg|5.6 ppg|1.4 apg|46.6 3fg%


Not a lot of people know him but he was a super talented guard at Villanova who couldn't get on the floor as a freshman with all of Nova's guards, so he transferred to Miami. Redshirted last season and will be eligible this year. With Jack McClinton gone, I'd expect Grant to be one of the ACC's best guards.
