Best Remaining Players
#1. Rasheer Fleming | F | Saint Joseph’s
Big Board Ranking: 19th
Profile: 6’9”, 232
Year: Junior (20)
14.7 PTS | 8.5 REB | 1.3 AST | 1.4 STL | 1.5 BLK
53.1 FG% | 39.0 3P% | 74.3 FT%
35 Games | 31.3 MIN
Analysis: Rasheer Fleming is going to be the top player on many “best remaining” lists. Fleming came into the year with some fascinating intrigue as a player who could have a breakout season. Despite being a junior, Fleming is still just 20 years old. Fleming looks like he was created in a lab. He’s listed at 6’9” and 232 pounds with an eye-opening 7’5” wingspan. The versatility is crucial, as Fleming is probably going to be asked to be a 3-and-D guy early on in his career. At this point in the draft, Fleming is too valuable to pass up for long. There’s a path where he figures out a way to stick in this league for a long time. Expect him to come off the board rather quickly.
#2. Adou Thiero | W | Arkansas
Big Board Ranking: 27th
Profile: 6’8”, 220
Year: Junior (20)
15.1 PTS | 5.8 REB | 1.9 AST | 1.6 STL | 0.7 BLK
54.5 FG% | 25.6 3P% | 68.6 FT%
27 Games | 27.5 MIN
Analysis: Adou Thiero has been a name that has continued to intrigue, going back to last year, while he was at Kentucky. The outside shot is a work in progress, but Thiero does a lot of things on the court that teams want. He’s a high-motor player with legit bounce and a desire to play above the rim. Thiero is a classic garbage man who does a lot of the things on the court that guys don’t want to do. He’s an intriguing second round addition, as he could be a great boost in a rotation given his energy and slashing ability.
#3. Ryan Kalkbrenner | C | Creighton
Big Board Ranking: 28th
Profile: 7’2”, 257
Year: Senior (23)
19.2 PTS | 8.7 REB | 1.5 AST | 0.5 STL | 2.7 BLK
65.3 FG% | 34.4 3P% | 68.1 FT%
35 Games | 34.4 MIN
Analysis: It should be a short wait for Creighton big man Ryan Kalkbrenner, one of the top bigs remaining on the board. There was some buzz that Kalkbrenner was drawing some interest near the end of the first round. Kalkbrenner has fantastic measurements and was a consistent force for Creighton during his collegiate career. He’s a heck of a defensive asset, and was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year for four years straight (and he also was named Defensive Player of the Year in high school). The defensive versatility could come into question, but Kalkbrenner has the ability to be a strong addition early on as a rotation big.
#4. Maxime Raynaud | C | Stanford
Big Board Ranking: 31st
Profile: 7’1”, 236
Year: Senior (22)
20.2 PTS | 10.6 REB | 1.7 AST | 0.9 STL | 1.4 BLK
46.7 FG% | 34.5 3P% | 77.0 FT%
35 Games | 33.5 MIN
Analysis: After a strong pre-draft process, especially at the NBA Draft combine, there was some buzz that Maxime Raynaud could sneak his way into the first round. Instead, Raynaud finds himself as one of the best remaining bigs on the board alongside Ryan Kalkbrenner (above). Raynaud is a different type of big compared to Kalkbrenner. He’s got great size but has some outstanding fluidity that really pops on tape. There’s some good shot blocking ability, but Raynaud has some tools on the offensive side of the ball that will have you hitting the rewind button. As a pick-and-pop big with size, Raynaud should be an intriguing one to watch early.
#5. Kam Jones | G | Marquette
Big Board Ranking: 32nd
Profile: 6’5”, 200
Year: Senior (23)
19.2 PTS | 4.5 REB | 5.9 AST | 1.4 STL | 0.3 BLK
48.3 FG% | 31.1 3P% | 64.8 FT%
34 Games | 33.8 MIN
Analysis: The buzz has been quiet for Kam Jones throughout the predraft process, but there are still plenty of scouts around the league who are fans. Jones had a tough year when you evaluate the situation. Last year for Marquette, Jones was fantastic while playing alongside Tyler Kolek and Oso Ighodaro. With both players now in the NBA, Jones was tasked with doing a lot of the heavy lifting for Marquette. Despite a strong start to the year, his efficiency tailed off. Kam is a tough-minded guard with good size and could give a backcourt some position versatility early on in a rotation.
#6. Noah Penda | F | Le Mans
Big Board Ranking: 33rd
Profile: 6’8”, 242
Year: 2005 Born (20)
10.2 PTS | 5.5 REB | 2.7 AST | 1.2 STL | 0.9 BLK
44.7 FG% | 32.2 3P% | 66.7 FT%
37 Games | 27.3 MIN
Analysis: If teams find themselves looking for another 3-and-D option, international forward Noah Penda should be a popular one early. Penda has some good versatility on the defensive side of the ball. He’s a smart player who can make an impact early on and should give some toughness with his size. Penda measured in at 6’8” and 242 pounds, and he isn’t afraid to use his body to bring some physicality. If the shot can come around, he has the tools to be a player who can stick for a long time.
#7. Johni Broome | C | Auburn
Big Board Ranking: 34th
Profile: 6’10”, 249
Year: Senior (22)
18.6 PTS | 10.8 REB | 2.9 AST | 0.9 STL | 2.1 BLK
51.0 FG% | 27.8 3P% | 58.7 FT%
36 Games | 30.3 MIN
Analysis: Auburn Tigers big man Johni Broome was one of the most productive players in college basketball last year. Broome has the tools to be a strong addition in a rotation early on. He’s a smart player who understands his strengths on both sides of the ball. The fit could be a little dependent, but Broome has some intriguing two-way potential. Despite his lack of vertical pop, Broome has strong shot-blocking instincts and anticipation. After Kalkbrenner and Raynaud, Broome could be one of the top bigs to get.
#8. Bogoljub Markovic | F | Mega Basket
Big Board Ranking: 35th
Profile: 6’11”, 200
Year: 2005 Born (19)
13.9 PTS | 6.9 REB | 2.6 AST | 0.8 STL | 0.9 BLK
54.6 FG% | 38.8 3P% | 76.5 FT%
32 Games | 29.2 MIN
Analysis: One of the top risers throughout the draft process when it comes to the international ranks is Mega forward Bogoljub Markovic. Still young in his development, Markovic has some sensational tools that have intrigued plenty of NBA teams. The intel and intangibles have come back with promising results. After showcasing his tools at the Nike Hoop Summit, Markovic started generating buzz from NBA teams. He’s a pick-and-pop big with some legit playmaking and floor spacing upside. Markovic is much more skilled than first looks would suggest. He could be a name that comes off the board early as a “swing” pick with upside.
#9. Koby Brea | W | Kentucky
Big Board Ranking: 36th
Profile: 6’7”, 215
Year: Senior (22)
11.6 PTS | 3.2 REB | 1.3 AST | 0.5 STL | 0.3 BLK
47.0 FG% | 43.5 3P% | 91.4 FT%
36 Games | 28.1 MIN
Analysis: NBA teams are always looking for floor spacing assets, especially when it comes to the second round. One of the top options in that department is going to be Kentucky Wildcats wing Koby Brea. If teams are looking for a smart player who can really provide a punch in the shooting department, Brea is going to be high on the list. The defensive side of the ball needs some work, but Brea is a high basketball IQ player with good size and microwave scoring ability. Teams looking for a player who can potentially make an impact early on should be intrigued by Brea.
#10. Chaz Lanier | W | Tennessee
Big Board Ranking: 39th
Profile: 6’5”, 206
Year: Senior (23)
18.0 PTS | 3.9 REB | 1.1 AST | 0.9 STL | 0.1 BLK
43.1 FG% | 39.5 3P% | 75.8 FT%
38 Games | 31.3 MIN
Analysis: The buzz has been warming up when it comes to Tennessee wing Chaz Lanier. Despite being an older prospect (23), Lanier has been buzzing throughout the predraft process due to some impressive workouts. The versatility is still in question, but if you need someone who can get hot in a hurry…Lanier is your guy. There’s some good athleticism and toughness there, too. Lanier can pull up from a different zip code, making him a dangerous catch-and-shoot option.

Minnesota has the 31st pick. I’ll be stunned if they don’t take Rasheer Fleming
