NBA Draft 2011: The 5 Best Players Who Will Be Available After the Lottery

It's been well-documented that there is a lack of superstar-level prospects entering the 2011 NBA Draft, but there is a clear sign of talent that can help every NBA team.

In a draft where the gems could come post-lottery, here are five prospects who might help the rich get richer in this year's NBA Draft.

SAN ANTONIO, TX - MARCH 25: Justin Harper #32 of the Richmond Spiders puts up a shot against Mario Little #23 of the Kansas Jayhawks during the southwest regional of the 2011 NCAA men's basketball tournament at the Alamodome on March 25, 2011 in San Anto

Harper has a true power forward's body with the skills to match. He has displayed one of the more complete games pre-draft, and is certainly one of the more NBA-ready players.

Harper is ranked in the late first round in most mock drafts, but has the talent to go much higher. 

4. Josh Selby, SG (Kansas)

Selby had an underwhelming freshman year at Kansas and did not live up to the outrageous expectations put on him before he even got one minute of playing time.

This kid still has the talent, athleticism and skills to play and contribute in the NBA though. 

Selby is a raw and immature, and those are the only reasons he is predicted to go late in the first round or early second round.

But don't be surprised if a team in the low-to-mid-first round takes a risk on this highly-touted player.  

3. Travis Leslie, SF (Georgia)

CHARLOTTE, NC - MARCH 18: Travis Leslie #1 of the Georgia Bulldogs dunks the ball in the first half while taking on the Washington Huskies during the second round of the 2011 NCAA men's basketball tournament at Time Warner Cable Arena on March 18, 2011 i

Leslie is the best athlete in all of college basketball.

Strictly based on this fact, he will find a way to be a great utility player in the NBA.

4. Charles Jenkins, PG (Hofstra)

Jenkins is an elite scorer with a huge wingspan and one of the quickest first steps in the NCAA.

He got no attention playing at tiny Hofstra, but will be noticed in the NBA. 

1. Kenneth Faried, PF (Morehead State)

Faried has a motor similar to Kevin Love, and he simply doesn't quit when he's on the court.

Setting the NCAA's all-time rebounding record, Faried's effort will make his game translate to the NBA. Every team loves this kind of relentless effort, and every team loves rebounding.

This kid does both the best.
