31. Paul Reed, DePaul
Forward, 6-foot-9, 21 years old
Despite recent struggles for DePaul, junior forward Paul Reed bragged the second-best block percentage (9.8%) and the third-best steal percentage (3.4%) in the Big East. Meanwhile, his defensive rebound percentage (25.6%) was also the second-best in the conference. Perhaps his best skill on offense, though he has not had as many opportunities, has been his finishes as the ballhandler in a transition offense. His ability to force a turnover and then score off the break is an instant highlight reel that very likely can translate to the next level.
32. David Johnson, Louisville
Guard, 6-foot-5, 19 years old
Louisville freshman David Johnson is averaging 16.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.7 steals per 40 minutes. He missed the beginning of the season due to injury but has since been a huge addition to his team. Johnson has an assist rate (45.2%) that ranks No. 1 overall among all prospects who have played at least eight games against Top 100 competition.
33. Tre Jones, Duke
Guard, 6-foot-3, 20 years old
Tre Jones, who was a Top 15 recruit coming out of high school, has put up much better numbers as a sophomore than he did as a freshman. Jones has averaged 16.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 3-pointers and 1.7 steals per game. He also is adding 6.3 assists per game, including 1.9 assists in a transition offense. According to Synergy, that ranks in the Top 10 among all Division I players this season.
34. Tyrell Terry, Stanford
Guard, 6-foot-1, 19 years old
Terry is shooting 90.3% from the free-throw line, fifth-best among all freshmen this season. Even more so than a 3-point percentage, success at the free-throw line is a key indicator of shooting success. Stanford also has a Top 5-ranked defense in the NCAA, per KenPom, aided by his 1.5 steals per game.
35. Jalen Harris, Nevada
