CENTERS
1. Zach Collins, Gonzaga
Collins is a legitimate 7-footer with great athleticism, jawdropping per-minute stats, a penchant for big moments, great shot-blocking instincts and the ability to step out to three-point range. He’s basically an ideal “stretch-5” for an NBA clearly headed in that direction. 2. John Collins, Wake Forest
Many projections list Collins as a power forward, but his future clearly should be at the center position. He has shown great offensive skill in workouts, including range out to the three-point line. That comes along with his solid athleticism and relentless work ethic. Ten years ago, he’d have been a top-10 lock. 3. Jarrett Allen, Texas
In a crowded field of centers, Allen stands out as the easiest to project a role for. He is an excellent athlete with a huge wingspan and the potential to be a great rim protector on defense and rim runner on offense. The questions are whether he can do much beyond that and whether he has the motor to be a great
defender. 4. Harry Giles, Duke
If Giles is 100% cleared medically, he could be a lottery pick. If not, he might fall out of the first round. Because of injuries, the former No. 1 recruit didn’t get a chance to do much at Duke, but his per-minute numbers were solid, and the skill that once made him a sure-fire top pick remains, even if the athleticism is diminished from knee injuries. 5. Bam Adebayo, Kentucky
Here’s a secret: Kentucky’s best player for the final two months of the season wasn’t Malik Monk or De’Aaron Fox. From mid-January on, Adebayo was unleashed as a consistent force. His offensive rebounding and ability to switch on screens has many teams intrigued. NEXT FIVE
