Utah – Donnie Tillman

The Utah Utes may not come to mind in terms of hot NBA prospects, but they have some true diamonds in the rough.  One such gem is 6-foot-7 forward Donnie Tillman.  While he is a young newcomer to the Utes, his forte on offense is hard to deny. He is a power forward in Pac-12 play, but he has enough versatility to slide into a solid small forward role in the NBA.

He has an impressive array of shots already and is certainly one to keep a close watch on. But his season has been marred with injury.  As such, his play has been sporadic and his production depressed.

If he can sync into a healthy run, his play should once more capture some NBA interest.  Of course, the key is to get healthy and play well.   Those are two factors which are not guaranteed.
