2015 NBA Draft: Preseason Top 10 NBA Draft Prospects
By Jacob Rude
5. Montrezl Harrell, PF, Louisville
Another prospect who could have made the jump last year and been a lottery pick, Harrell is almost a guaranteed top-10 pick this year.
When talking about intensity, Harrell is another name at the top of the list. Despite being just 6’8″, his huge wingspan (7’4″) helps him reek havoc defensively and makes him an above-average rebounder as well. He runs the floor well for a big man and explodes at the rim.
At 6’8″, though, he’s more of a tweener by NBA standards, caught between power forward and small forward. His wingspan will help him against bigger players, but he’ll need to develop a post game, one that is virtually non-existent, to be productive at the next level.
