6. Buddy Hield, G, Oklahoma 

Thanks to a monster senior season, Buddy Hield will likely be a top 10 pick in this year’s NBA Draft. If you watched any Oklahoma game this past season, it’s not hard to see why he wouldn’t be.

Hield is a volume scorer and has unlimited range. Standing at 6-foot-5, Hield will be a prototypical NBA guard. Despite his reputation as a great shooter, Hield also showed the ability to get to the bucket when necessary.

Yes, he struggles on the defensive end at times but has all the tools to improve on that side of the ball. It wouldn’t be fair to compare him to the likes C.J. McCollum or James Harden, which he’s gotten over the course of his senior season, but he’s a name to watch. He should be able to help a team immediately, as a shooter if nothing else.
