5. Julius Randle Kentucky

Vitals: 6-9 | Fr. | F

Comment: Wiggins is getting more attention among the nation's freshmen. But Randle is a physical specimen ready to dominate.

12. Andrew Harrison Kentucky

Vitals: 6-5 | Fr. | G

Comment: Harrison is believed to be second only to John Wall in terms of UK point guards under John Calipari. At 6-5, 210 pounds, he's built tremendously well and will be a force because of his size and vicious, attacking personality.

13. Willie Cauley-Stein Kentucky

Vitals: 7-0 | Soph. | F

Comment: Cauley-Stein could've been a lottery pick despite serving a reserve for much of his freshman season. He's the best of three future NBA bigs on the Kentucky roster.

25. Alex Poythress Kentucky

Vitals: 6-7 | Soph. | F

Comment: Poythress was wildly inconsistent last season, much like Kentucky's team. But he sure did have his moments, and there will be more of them this season with a year of experience from which to grow.

quote:

---

35. Marshall Henderson Ole Miss

Vitals: 6-2 | Sr. | G

Comment: Take away the on-court antics and off-court issues, and Henderson is still one of the best pure scorers in the country.

---

quote:

---

36. Aaron Harrison Kentucky

Vitals: 6-6 | Fr. | G

Comment: The lesser talented of the twins in UK's backcourt, Harrison is the shooting guard who's still projected as a first-round pick by many. In reality he might be hurt on this list due to the team he's on and all that surrounds him.

quote:

40. Jarnell Stokes Tennessee

Vitals: 6-8 | Jr. | F

Comment: What Stokes lacks in size he makes up for with pure strength and bulk. He'll lead the Vols to the NCAA tournament this season.

---

quote:

---

42. Jordan McRae Tennessee

Vitals: 6-6 | Sr. | G

Comment: McRae led the Vols in scoring last season and should do it again this season.

---

quote:

---

48. Jarell Martin LSU

Vitals: 6-9 | Fr. | F

Comment: Martin is a five-star guy out of Baton Rouge that Johnny Jones was able to keep local. He's one of those "oozing potential" players.

---

quote:

---

73. James Young Kentucky

Vitals: 6-6 | Fr. | G

Comment: Young is more of a natural wing than Alex Poythress but will have his minutes limited because of Alex Poythress. Either way, he's a special talent. Could be a freshman role player and sophomore All-American.

---

quote:

---

84. Johnny O'Bryant LSU

Vitals: 6-9 | Jr. | F

Comment: LSU's probably making the NCAAs this year and O'Bryant will lead the charge. Big man put up 14 points and nine rebounds per game last season, basically playing in the shadows.

---

quote:

---

86. Dakari Johnson Kentucky

Vitals: 7-0 | Fr. | Sr.

Comment: He might not start right off the bat, but Johnson is a low-post force who can carve out position and finish at the basket. He's talented.

---

quote:

---

88. Trevor Releford Alabama

Vitals: 6-0 | Sr. | G

Comment: Releford needs to be an All-SEC player for Alabama to reach its potential. He's probably the SEC's best point guard not named Andrew Harrison.
