Isaiah Collier has greatly improved his draft stock since returning from injury. Averaging 19.5 points and 6 assists in his first 4 games back, his ability to get to the free-throw line and improved decision-making put him right back in the discussion to be a top 5 pick in June.

Freshman guard Ja'Kobe Walter had 23 points on 7/13 shooting against the #1 defense in the nation. Walter's in the midst of a shooting slump in Big 12 play, but his measurables and shot-making ability make him an enticing 3 and D prospect. He leads Baylor in scoring at 14.8 ppg.

National Freshman of the Year Reed Sheppard averaged 18.2 points and 6.4 assists in his last 5 games before the NCAA tournament. The do-it-all guard is shooting 52.5% from three and grabbing 2.5 steals per game this season. His all-around game makes him a top 10 draft prospect.

Hard to point out a flaw in Stephon Castles’ game if he’s knocking down 3’s.
