Breakdown: With regards to wing players, you want a good balance of shooting, driving, but also posting ability. With things changing in college basketball and small ball being more of a thing, you have to be able to bring all aspects and have versatility. The one true DI talent left is Kevin Easley. Looking down at the fringy DI/DII area, Yuri Swinford has been really impressive as well as Johnny Bernard. A little further with high level NAIA and DII prospects, look for Chaz Birchfield, Kobe Clancy, and Donyell Meredith. Of the DIII/NAIA players still on the board, I really like Kellen Schreiber, Joey Klaasen, and River West who have all really elevated their games this year.
