Nov. 14--Willie Cauley-Stein, Kentucky
Junior, 7-0, forward
With wacky hair colors, the big man will be noticeable in a variety of ways after missing the NCAA tournament with an injury. His lanky presence inside poses nightmares for opponents.
Fred VanVleet, Wichita State
Junior, 6-0, guard
Not flashy or speedy, the Rockford native still is everything a point guard should be. He takes exceptional care of the ball, averaging 5.4 assists to 1.3 turnovers a game.
Montrezl Harrell, Louisville
Junior, 6-8, forward
The physical forward improved as last season progressed and averaged 14 points a game, yet surprisingly he decided to wait on the NBA.
Georges Niang, Iowa State
Junior, 6-8, forward
After losing more than 20 pounds after his NCAA-tournament foot injury, the versatile Niang player is primed to take his game to another level.
