Moses Brown, C, UCLA

Composite Ranking: 21

Moses Brown is a very skinny 7-footer with a 7-foot-4 wingspan. His value both in college and as a prospect derives from his height. Brown’s draft hopes will go based on how his motor runs. He has tremendous value as a rim protector, but cannot play with an on and off motor because he is so unpolished and unproven offensively.

With a plus motor Moses Brown could be a one and done, but he’s so raw on offense that might not even be enough. It will be a tough peg until he plays in college for right now. His rim protection size, and length are just such valuable assets in the NBA.
