Ceiling: Marcus Morris

Floor: Devean George

At only 6’8″ and 220 pounds as a frontcourt guy, Clarke maybe a tad bit undersized big, but he makes up for it with his length, strength , activity & physicality. Brandon is also a very solid athlete although not hyper flight & he uses that to switch well on defense 3-5 & get rebounds that he converts into opportunities. Some say he can possible go top-8, but I would value him a lot more as a late first-round pick. Either way, Clarke comes as a turn-key role player ready to play big minutes if not start from day one.

Ceiling: Nikola Mirotic

Floor: Ersan Ilyasova

Stretch four with surprisingly good ball skill to put it on the floor some & create a few baskets for himself but very skilled around the elbow & high post. Great touch & savvy IQ, but needs work on being more consistent scoring & not being such an orange cone on defense.

Ceiling: Brook Lopez

Floor: Luke Kornet

Goga is a skilled big with very good shooting touch & solid feel for the game. Needs to improve defensively.

Ceiling: Serge Ibaka

Floor: Marreese Speights

The 6’10” stretch forward is very efficient offensively, so much so that he is projected to translate into an efficient stretch big if nothing else. Plays smart & takes shots with purpose but needs to prove a lot defensively if he wants to maximize his opportunity.

Ceiling: Myles Turner/Peak Andrew Bynum

Floor: Dewayne Dedmon

A bruising big with good size decent athleticism & projected solid shooting potential, stretching as far out as the NBA three-point line which gives himself a lot more playing options.  Bruno is a high floor big man who should have a solid career as a role player if nothing else. Bruno has the size, offensive IQ shooting touch & skill to be a stud. Only time will tell.
