Best Scorers

1.) Jabari Parker- Despite averaging 19.1 points at Duke as a freshman, which didn’t make him a top scorer in the country, he is the most offensively ready prospect in the draft. Parker uses a combination of his NBA range, mid-range jumpers, and his ability to finish at the basket. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Parker averages 20 points as a rookie. Parker scored 27 points against Kansas, 29 against Boston College, and 30 against North Carolina.

    • 2.) Doug McDermott- Easily the best scorer in college basketball and is efficient as anyone in America. The question with McDermott, who is either too slow for a small forward or too small for a power forward, is whether his scoring ability will translate to the NBA. McDermott averaged 26.7 points on a 53/45/86 line. McDermott dropped 45 points against Providence, 39 against Villanova and St. Johns, 35 against Xavier and DePaul, and 33 against Nebraska.

    3.) T.J. Warren- Despite playing in a tough ACC conference that consisted of excellent teams like Virginia, Duke, and North Carolina, Warren averaged 24.9 points. Warren is lethal inside the three-point line as he did all his damage, averaging just under a three per game. Warren shot 58% inside the three-point line as he uses an excellent mid-range game and can finish with his smooth floater. If Warren continues to develop his three-point shot he can be an excellent scorer at the next level. Warren had 36 against North Carolina, 41 against Pittsburgh, 42 against Boston College, and34 against Wake Forest.
