NBA Draft Prospects that are DIAMONDS in the Rough

CAM THOMAS- Freshman, LSU, 6’4” 210 LBS

Bucket. That is what you get with Cam Thomas. Averaged 23 points in his freshman year with LSU, and is just a natural with the ball. I’m not saying he’s Anthony Edwards, but he reminds me of Anthony Edwards. Could and should improve his three point shooting, can get a bucket whenever he wants, and has questions about motor. While only his scoring stats stood out in college, I believe a playoff team drafting him would put him in the right culture to succeed.

GREG BROWN- Freshman, Texas, 6’9” 205 LBS

Not a bucket at the moment, but has the physical tools to be a player that could be a difference make right away in a good culture. Raw athleticism and high motor is what you’re getting with Ole’ Greg. He under-whelmed at Texas, but played his role on a team dominated by guards and bigs. I don’t know if he would have been ready to shoulder a team, but would have liked to seen how it went.

Day’Ron Sharpe- Freshman, 6’11”, 265 LBS

Old school big that didn’t make a three in college? Might not be what the people are looking for, but could be a gem for a team with strong guard play. Deandre Ayton has become one of the stars of the playoffs with his ability to grab every rebound and shot selection. Classic bigs are still valuable in the right situation. He only played 19 minutes a game on a team that included fellow bigs Armando Bacot, Walker Kessler, Garrison Brooks.
