Ranking: 6
The 6-5 big man is certainly still a work in progress, but he has a great frame to continue building on and is already wearing size 15 shoes, so there is plenty of room for more growth here. He runs the floor well, protects the rim and is a capable shooter from about 15 feet. He could develop into a nice stretch-4 with the ability to protect the rim as well.

Already blessed with fantastic size at 6-10, Tobiloba is a rim protector extraordinaire. His offensive game is still very raw, but he’s a solid athlete who can run the floor, rebound and dunk. You can’t teach the type of size and length he has.

Harter isn’t the greatest athlete, but he does a great job establishing early position and has good touch around the rim with either hand. He’s working on expanding his range, and he has good anticipation and timing on the defensive end of the floor.

A 6-6 big man, Wallin is a physical presence in the paint on both ends of the floor. He’s an efficient scorer with good hands and solid touch around the rim.
