POWER FORWARDS

-

1. Jonathan Isaac, Florida State

He’s 6-11 and moves like a guard. He’s selfless and committed to the defensive end, and he grades out well in statistica­l analysis. There’s little that Isaac can’t do; a favorite comparison for him is Lamar Odom. Isaac is one of the handful of prospects in this draft who seems capable of changing an entire team, but his frame and occasional disappeara­nces make him a bust risk, too. 2. Lauri Markkanen, Arizona

Markkanen’s 7-foot frame and legitimate three-point range make him a lock to be a solid offensive contributo­r. The question is whether he has the potential to be a leading scorer — maybe a slightly lesser Dirk Nowitzki — or simply a role player who hits threes, like Ryan Anderson. 3. T.J. Leaf, UCLA

Like Markkanen, the focus on Leaf tends to be his value behind the perimeter. But he’s a bit more of an inside presence, with a competitiv­e streak that makes him an underrated re-

bounder. His footwork is good inside and out, and he has a nice touch from any range. 4. Jordan Bell, Oregon

Though he is best known for the rebounds he didn’t get, Bell actually is a terrific rebounding prospect. He also has elite-level quickness and might be able to guard every position, an asset in the switch-happy NBA. The question is whether he can contribute anything to an NBA offense. 5. Semi Ojeleye, SMU

He’s 6-6, but his bullish strength and athleticis­m should allow him to play power forward even against much bigger players. His skill set is perfect to be a stretch-four. He can knock down three-pointers but has enough ball skills to create, while he’s tough in every way possible. NEXT FIVE 6. D.J. Wilson, Michigan 7. Tyler Lydon, Syracuse 8. Devin Robinson, Florida
