11. Anthony Randolph, LSU Small Forward
Definitely a "boom or bust" pick for whichever team selects him. He has the height to be a power forward, but his frame doesn't seem to hold a lot of weight. Currently, he's a small forward type player, but his outside shooting is very questionable. 

12. Darrell Arthur, Kansas Power Forward
His size, athleticism and ability to extend his range project him well into the NBA. Scoring 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in the National Championship game against Memphis certainly increases his stock.

 

13. Kevin Love, UCLA Power Forward
Love's post skills, size and passing ability will make him an exceptional NBA player for years. He's a high-character guy, and the team that drafts him will be getting a winner.

 

14. Nicolas Batum, France Guard/Forward
Batum has a great all-around game and plays smoothly. After watching various clips of him, my only real question is how he'll translate to the life of the NBA.
