Obi Toppin, Forward-Center (Dayton)
After making a name for himself as a proficient rebounder in his redshirt freshman season at Dayton, pulling down a healthy 5.6 per game, Toppin turned heads in this summer’s Nike Skills Academy with his shooting. With his newly-expanded game, the young big could conceivably end up in range of Boston’s two late first-round selections.

Now, while he may be shooting at a lower percentage than his rare but accurate treys from his 2018-19 collegiate season (he hit a blistering 52.4 % of them, but only averaged 0.6 attempts per game), the three-point shot has blossomed into a major part of his offensive game with early returns of 33.3% shooting from three, which will benefit him tremendously at 6-foot-9.
