The Power Forward and Center Class.

For the power forward and center class, there is a lot of potential everywhere. The top four prospects go as follows: Anthony Davis, Thomas Robinson, Andre Drummond, and Terrence Jones. The first prospect I will talk about is Anthony Davis from Kentucky. This kid has superstar written all over him. With his 7'4 wingspan, he can lock down the paint for the next10-15 years in the NBA. One season at Kentucky, Davis averaged 15 points per game, 10 rebounds, and close to 5 blocks a game. They are comparing Davis to Kevin Garnett. The next prospect is Thomas Robinson from Kansas. Thomas is a freak of nature. He is long, strong and well-built He can dominate the boards at any time. Thomas is tough, never-back-down defender. He loves to play physical and is an elite scorer from the low-post. He reminds me of an Amare Stroudamire type or Ben Wallace type. The next prospect is Andre Drummond from Connecticut. This kid is a freak in the gym. At 6'11 with a 7'5 wingspan, Andre can be the next Dwight Howard. Drummond averaged 10 point per game, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks with only one season with Connecticut. He needs to develop more of an offensive game to have a true impact on an NBA team. The next and final prospect on my list is Terrence Jones from Kentucky. Jones played along the side of Anthony Davis during the title run. Jones is 6'8 around 240 pounds and looks to play power forward in the pros even though he is undersized. Jones has a 7'3 wingspan that helps his very consistent jump shot that he has from 15-20 feet away from the hoop. Jones handles and passes the ball like a guard when he dribbles almost Lamar Odom like when he was in his prime.
