26. Jahmi’us Ramsey, Texas Tech
Guard, 6-foot-4, 19 years old
Much like Iowa State’s Tyrese Haliburton, Texas Tech’s Jahmi’us Ramsey is an incredibly lengthy guard. He is 6-foot-4″ but was measured with a 6-foot-10 wingspan. He looks like a real 3-and-D prospect as he is shooting 43.5% from 3-point range. The Red Raiders also have the sixth-best defense in college basketball and currently rank in the NCAA Top 20 overall. Ramsey and West Virginia center Oscar Tshiebwe are the two front-runners for Big 12 Freshman of the Year.
27. Daniel Oturu, Minnesota
Center, 6-foot-10, 20 years old
After a surprisingly sensational sophomore campaign, Minnesota big man Daniel Oturu has made a case for himself as the first player from the Big Ten selected in the 2020 NBA Draft. While his game is still raw in terms of development, he finished the regular season averaging 20.0 points and 11.4 rebounds with 2.6 blocks per game. Even if his shooting form is not finalized, the numbers looked decent. He shot a respectable 34.7% from beyond the arc. Oturu can be a pick-and-pop option as a pro and he also has a big frame to help him pull down defensive rebounds at an elite pace.
28. Josh Green, Arizona
Wing, 6-foot-6, 19 years old
One of the concerns for Green is that more than one-third of his field-goal attempts have come from midrange, and he is shooting just 27-of-95 (28.4%) on these looks. Green has made fewer than one 3-pointer per game. However, all but three of his connections have been assisted, suggesting that he is far from being a shot creator. His 6-foot-10 wingspan with an 8-foot-7 standing reach, per The Stepien, can make an impact if Green is selected by the right team.
29. Malachi Flynn, San Diego State
Guard, 6-foot-2, 21 years old
San Diego State finished with an unbelievable record during the regular season. Perhaps the best note about Flynn, however, is that he has been especially impressive when playing against Top 100 competition. His box plus-minus in those appearances ranks as the best in the NCAA so far this season, per Bart Torvik. His box plus-minus also ranks second-best among those who play in mid-major conferences. During his most recent game, Flynn put up 36 points with five rebounds and five assists.
30. Jalen Smith, Maryland
Center, 6-foot-10, 19 years old
Maryland big man Jalen Smith tested the waters last season and is now poised to be the next Terrapins center to make the leap to the pros. His block (8.1%) and defensive rebound (25.3%) percentages both rank in the Top 5 in the Big Ten Conference. He brags a more than 7-foot-1 wingspan, which defines his defensive prowess. On the offensive side of the ball, meanwhile, his field goal percentage (70.6%) ranks in the Top 20 in the NCAA among all players who have had as many attempts. Smith can stretch the floor a bit and has made 2.8 3-point attempts per game for Maryland. In fact, he is shooting 42.4% from downtown against Top 100 competitors.
