If Brice Johnson was a freshman or sophomore, he’d probably be a lot higher on this list. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t be a good player at the next level.

During his season season at UNC, Johnson averaged 17 points and 10.4 rebounds per game on top of 61 percent shooting from the field. With every season he played at Carolina, his game improved. Which is huge.

It’s difficult to gauge where Johnson will go in the draft – some have him going in the late lottery to late in the first round – but he’s probably a better athlete than most give him credit for, and proved this past season that his jumper is very much improved.

Because every team is enamored with the underclassmen, though, Johnson won’t be the talk of the draft. He can be a very good player in the NBA, though. Don’t get that twisted.
