TOP POST PLAYERS IN NBA DRAFT

ZACH COLLINS The 7-footer was Gonzaga’s first McDonald’s All-American and was a key reserve during the Bulldogs’ run to the NCAA championship game. STRENGTHS: The freshman averaged 10 points and 5.9 rebounds while shooting a conference-best 65 percent, showing nice touch around the paint, mobility and athleticism . He’s a possible lottery pick. CONCERNS: Collins has a small sample size for teams to evaluate. He’s also had issues with foul trouble. JOHN COLLINS The 6-10 sophomore made a rapid rise to become a candidate for Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year with his efficient offensive game. STRENGTHS: Collins is a good athlete with a soft shooting touch (62 percent). He often proved nearly unstoppable in the post (19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds) with the ability to finish at the rim or elevate over defenders, making him a first-round prospect. CONCERNS: Collins battled foul trouble at times during his twoyear Wake Forest career. He also needs to improve defensively, particularly with footwork and post positioning. HARRY GILES The 6-10 one-and-done from Duke is a prospect with massive potential — if he can stay healthy. STRENGTHS: Giles was projected by many as the nation’s top high school recruit and even a possible No. 1 overall pick before suffering a serious knee injury in high school. He’s an active player who can run the floor, has good athleticism and boasts a 7-3 wingspan. CONCERNS: He missed his senior season of high school after tearing ligaments in his right knee, then had preseason arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to remove scar tissue from a previous injury and was limited throughout much of last year. If healthy, he could be a steal in the middle of the first round or later.
