Nick Pringle
Ht: 6-4Wt: 220
Pringle’s job in the Alabama offense was to set a lot of screens and set shooters up with dribble handoffs. He played his role well and had a good sense for screening angle and when to cut when his defender forgot about him. He averaged 6.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per game, and all of his buckets were around the rim. He’s a good offensive rebounder and quick off the ground. He also gets out of a screen quickly and is a good roller, putting pressure on the rim.
Defensively, Pringle can guard both on the perimeter and inside. He holds his ground in the post and is willing to wrestle with back-to-the-basket bigs. He can be a little jumpy on the perimeter, but his athleticism is an asset defensively because of his ability to slide his feet and also help protect the rim. For a one-season rental, he’s a good option as a rim-rolling, energy big guy. — C.J. Moore

Sam Walters
Ht: 6-4Wt: 220
Walters is a 3-point specialist who doesn’t need much room to shoot. The big lefty has a quick and high release, and he shot a solid 39.4 percent from 3 as a freshman, averaging 5.4 points in only 12.3 minutes per game. Walters was a floor spacer for the Crimson Tide, but he wasn’t afraid to put it on the floor and attack shot blockers at the rim. Walters is able to cross match onto perimeter players and can also handle himself against bigs. On the perimeter, he uses his length to give him some extra room to defend the ball and contain the dribble. You see his build and expect that he’d play soft, but he has some fight to him and can handle himself when a ball handler’s eyes light up and he decides he wants to take on Walters. He can play both forward spots. He shot 82.5 percent at the free-throw line, which is a good indicator that his shooting efficiency should continue with even more volume. It’ll be interesting to see what Walters becomes because his potential is enticing. With his size and stroke, he’ll be a guy NBA folks will be keeping an eye on. — C.J. Moore
