By Chris Molicki Michael Carter-Williams, PG, Syracuse Why you want him: The biggest asset  Carter-Williams has is his passing ability. He dished out assists left and right all season. He has great court vision and can find the open man. Carter-Williams excelled in Jim Boeheim’s zone because of his incredible length and size for a point guard. [...]

By Chris Molicki Cody Zeller, PF/C, Indiana Why you want him: Zeller is a seven footer who is very fundamentally sound. He runs the floor extremely well, similar to his brother Tyler.

By Chris Molicki Trey Burke, PG, Michigan Why you want him: A feisty undersized guard, Burke has a knack for scoring, as we saw in this year’s NCAA tournament. His quickness and handles allow him to get to the rim, while it’s be proven that he has NBA range. In addition to his penetration ability, he’s a solid playmaker [...]
