I remembered this article.

Published on April 2010 by bleacherreport.

1) Harrison Barnes (UNC) - 6'8", 215 pounds, SF

He is one of the best prospects to ever come out of Iowa. Blessed with a 7 foot wing span, high basketball IQ, and excellent long range shot. Barnes is one of those rare athletes that can run the 1-5 if needed. He has a good understanding of the defensive part of the game and routinely makes highlight blocks. He is a proven winner and is just what North Carolina needs to become a contender once again.

NBA Comparison: Scottie Pippen/ Ray Allen



2) Brandon Knight (Kentucky) - 6'3", 185 pounds, PG

Looking vaguely similar to Lil Wayne, Knight is the reigning National Player of the Year. Knight is an absolute beast of a point guard and is constantly compared to last years top point guard John Wall. Like Wall, Knight is a play maker for others as well as for himself, frequently throwing up 30+ points. He is definitely a candidate for the 2010 class to be a one and done player.

NBA Comparison: Russell Westbrook (better shot)


3) Perry Jones (Baylor) - 6'11", 230 pounds, SF/PF

One word best used to describe Jones….scary. With a 7’3” wing span, automatic mid range game and elite athleticism, Perry could very well end up as the best player in this class when it is all said and done. He is the most highly touted recruit ever to sign with Baylor and is motivated to live up to expectations. Regardless of his potential and height, Jones has worked hard and developed a nice set of skills that will make him a threat on any level of basketball. He plays with a ton of emotion and constantly lifts others around him to play better. With the addition of Perry Jones, Baylor could have one of its best teams ever next season.

NBA Comparison: Tracy McGrady/ Anthony Randolph

#7 Tobias Harris
#9 Kyrie



Perry Jones the biggest waste of talent ever to step on the hardwood
