No. 1 – Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Villanova
As one might expect from a Jay Wright-coached prospect out of Villanova, Robinson-Earl can shoot it, and while he may not be a lights-out shooter at 32.8%, he connects often enough to suggest it could one day be an important part of his game.
That he shoots 81.4% from the line is another good sign, though more than 3.1 free throw attempts per game is another area of his game that shouldn’t be too difficult to improve with some reps at the NBA level.
He already averages 1.44 points per possession on offensive rebound putbacks per Synergy — in the 95th percentile — as well, so his floor is likely the highest of any of these prospects with the skills he already has, and the path to even a low-level starter isn’t especially fraught.
