The most polished offensive player in the class, Peterson thrives best when the ball is in his hands so he can either create his own shot or distribute it in a play-making role. He’s a three-level scorer, though he may be most effective at the rim.

He has faced some lingering injury concerns with constant cramping and availability concerns, but Peterson is a plug-and-play threat, and the NCAA Tournament offers the chance to see him on the biggest stage.

In terms of production, no player has been as dominant or consistent as Boozer, who is probably still undersized as an NBA center at 6-foot-9. Still, though he may lack explosive athleticism, Boozer does several things well on offense. He can bring the ball up the floor and handle it in the half-court. His footwork in the low block is tremendous, and he should be a massive threat in the NBA as a pick-and-roll.

And with Duke holding national title expectations, it will be fascinating to see how he responds to the added pressure.

It’s still unclear if Brown will actually play, as he has been dealing with a nagging back injury, but Cardinals coach Pat Kelsey said Monday, March 16 that Brown had “made great progress” leading up to this week. Back issues aside, Brown has solid size at 6-foot-5 for the position and has an excellent stroke from deep, though he could certainly emphasize efficiency in his scoring portfolio.

NBA player comparison: Tyrese Haliburton

He missed some time early in the season with an ankle issue, but he has emerged as a solid perimeter guard for the Huskies with excellent size (6-foot-6) and catch-and-shoot ability. His 3-point shooting will be on display in the tournament, and it could help him rise up draft boards.

TOUGHEST ROAD TO FINAL FOUR? Ranking No. 1 seeds' paths

Dybantsa may be the purest scorer in the class, and one who doesn’t necessarily need assistance to get buckets. He’s blessed with tremendous size and length and has natural athleticism that appears effortless. He’ll still need to refine his jumpshot and ball-handling ability, but these are factors that can be trained.

He leads the country in scoring (25.3 points per game) and will need to carry the Cougars, who continue to be without Richie Saunders (torn anterior cruciate ligament).

NBA player comparison: Jayson Tatum

An asset in the half-court, Acuff is a player who can immediately slide into an NBA team to run point. He thrives in a score-first mentality, but his ability to knock down floaters or hit shots in tight spaces also opens up his play-making ability. He has solid vision and operates offense with excellent pace and body control.

He sometimes settles for jumpers when he can’t get past opponents, and his defense is a concern.

NBA player comparison: Keyonte George

Although he’s a touch undersized at 6-foot-4, he’s solidly built with a good frame. As the season progressed, Burries’ scoring productivity improved, and he consistently showed plus effort on the defensive side. At times, he appeared to push his jump shot, and some improvement with his perimeter jumper would go a long way.

NBA player comparison: Quentin Grimes

This is a case where a freshman may better serve his draft stock by returning for another season. Peat has had some inconsistent offensive performances, and much of that has been because of deference and a jumpshot that could use some improvement. Peat, though, is a high-energy athlete, one of the stronger prospects in the class, and he should only improve as he gets more experience.
