Dozier is a quality wing prospect to bank on in the second round. At 6-6, he’s a quality athlete and has shown nice touch as a playmaker, and improvement that continues to up his stock significantly from where it stood last season. He’s still working out the minutia of his offensive game, but is a quality change of pace guard at the two-spot. He can help run the offense on occasion, and that’s a luxury that’s becoming ever-more important in today’s league.
His 3-point shooting could benefit from added polish (just 31.7 percent as of now), but the framework for a very solid NBA player is already in place. Secondary playmakers are an essential part of numerous offenses in the modern NBA, and Dozier has the ability to become that — if not a full blown point guard — at 6-6, while retaining ample defensive versatility, to boot.
Bolden is somewhat of a wildcard this season, but one that holds a great deal of upside. The former UCLA attendee has impressed overseas this season, with a blend of mobility and skill that — at 6-10 — could yield impressive returns down the road. He’s still on the thinner side at 21, but has an all-around game worthy of consideration throughout the second round.
He runs the court hard, and is and boasts sizable potential as a rim-runner in the pick-and-roll. He’s also an adept handler at the four spot, attacking closeouts and making solid passes off the drive on occasion. While that area of his game may not be ready to impact the game in a consistent manner yet, it’s the type of developmental tool that a number of teams — in today’s league — could be looking to cultivate.
Bradley was a relatively unheralded freshman coming into the season, but has nevertheless managed to carve out a solid niche in a deep Carolina frontcourt. While a lot of his offensive game is still in the early developmental stages, Bradley’s impact on the boards is something that NBA teams could look at should he commit to the draft this season. He’s averaging an impressive 14.2 rebounds per 40 minutes, and uses his well-developed frame to get positioning far better than most players his age.
There’s little to speak of when analyzing Bradley’s game outside of the painted area at this point, but he’s coming along at a far more rapid pace than expected. He has a handful of hook shots he can break out on the low block from time to time, and is shooting at 32.8 percent on two-point jumpers thus far. That leaves clear-cut room for improvement, but his mid-range game is evolving nonetheless.
The Oregon junior is having his best season to date, leading the team in numerous facets on both sides of the ball. At just 6-9, Bell’s athleticism is what stands out the most upon watching him play. He gets off the ground with impressive ease, and has the ability to play well above the rim on both sides of the ball. His shot blocking prowess will likely be his most useful attribute entering the league, and his high motor correlates to solid rebounding totals as well.
Offensively, Bell is still rough around the edges. His post game needs work, and he’ll likely be at his best with using his athleticism to rim-run in transition and operate in the pick-and-roll. Albeit in limited fashion, he is, though, hitting at a 23.1 percent clip from behind the arc. That won’t translate to immediate floor spacing at the next level, but could hint at some utility down the road in that regard.
