5.71
#NBADraftRank Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could be the steal of the 2013 Draft. Big SG who scores, defends, and rebounds. What's not to love?

Shabazz Muhammad
UCLA | SF | Age: 20
Ford's rank: #17
5.22
#NBADraftRank I like Shabazz Muhammad a lot as a player. Reminds me of Paul Pierce. My worry is his attitude. He has to want to be great.

Gorgui Dieng
Louisville | C | Age: 23
Ford's rank: #27
5.17
#NBADraftRank Although Dieng is raw offensively, he has the size and length to be an impact player on defense at the next level.

Jamaal Franklin
San Diego State | SG | Age: 22
Ford's rank: #20
5.07
Jamaal is very athletic & scores and defends well. However, his shot selection needs work. Reminds many of Kawhi Leonard. #NBADraftRank
