Johnathan Motley, Baylor

Johnathan Motley is a high energy power forward. His best game of the season came against Texas when he scored 32 points and grabbed 20 rebounds. If you need someone who is going to attack the boards, Motley is your guy to watch during the NCAA Tournament.

He’s not going to stretch the floor with a three-point shot and he’s a streaky free throw shooter, but he makes up for it. He’ll protect the rim and fight for every rebound. He’s projected to be a late first-round draft pick in most mock drafts.

Motley just might be the sleeper pick of the first round. He won’t be a starting player in the NBA right away, but he’s another high energy guy who can provide a team with solid scoring and rebounding off of the bench.
