The Small Forward Class

The small forward class in this draft does not have that many good players so I will only talk about the top 3. The third best small forward in this class has to be Moe Harkless from St John's. Moe may have been only a freshman at St John’s, but whenever he set foot on the court he was always ready to play. He put forth everything he had in every game he played. At 6'8 weighing in at 210 pounds, he averaged 9 rebounds, and he managed to score 15 points a game! That is pretty good for his size and weight if you ask me. The second best prospect at small forward is Harrison Barnes from North Carolina. Barnes was the number one prospect coming out of high school 2 years ago and now he is one of the best small forwards to come out of the draft. This year Barnes averaged 17 points and 5 rebounds a game. Most NBA scouts compare Barnes to Chicago Bulls player Luol Deng. He has very good athleticism and wing span to make a even better impact Deng has done on the league. The next and final Prospect for the small forward class is Michael Gilchrist from Kentucky. He has the perfect ideal size you would want in a small forward. At 6'8 235 pounds, He can cover anyone on the court. He is not very good at shooting the three ball, but he can drive to the rim very well. Many people compare Michael to a Gerald Wallace or an Andre Igudola. He has very good play making ability on defense. Whatever team Michael Gilchrist gets drafted to he will make an immediate impact, because he has star power and is definitely a center piece for a franchise in the near future.
