2. Luka Doncic, SG, Real Madrid
Age: 18 (February 28, 1999)
Size: 6-foot-8, 185 pounds
While many of the other top prospects have been playing against collegiate or--in most cases--high school competition, Doncic has been playing against grown men in the Euroleague--and excelling. Playing the fifth-most minutes for championship-contender Real Madrid, he's averaging 8.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 0.9 steals in 19.5 minutes per contest.
That kind of production for an 18-year-old in the Euroleague is pretty much unprecedented, as the last player to make a similar impact as a teenager was Ricky Rubio in 2007. But even that's probably selling Doncic short, as he looks to have the whole package. He has the size and versatility to play either the 1, 2 or 3 position, he's a creative playmaker, he's a fantastic passer, and he's hitting three-pointers at a 41 percent clip.
You may not hear Doncic's name as much over the next year, but he's right in the thick of the conversation for No. 1 pick. (Getty)
5. Robert Williams, PF/C, Texas A&M
Age: 19 (October 17, 1997)
Size: 6-foot-9, 237 pounds
As a raw freshman at Texas A&M, Williams' blend of athleticism and length (7-foot-4 wingspan) allowed him to block 2.5 shots in just 25.8 minutes per game. That defensive potential alone had him as a projected lottery pick, but then he started showing an improved offensive game down the stretch, as he averaged 14.5 points on 53.6 percent shooting and 4.0 offensive rebounds over his last 10 games (which included a monster 20-and-13 performance against Kentucky) and had his draft stock soaring.
Williams ultimately decided to stay for his sophomore year, and if he continues to progress offensively, he's going to be a highly sought-after prospect. (Getty)
9. Ike Anigbogu, C, UCLA
Age: 18 (October 22, 1998)
Size: 6-foot-10, 230 pounds
Though he played a minimal role (13.0 minutes per game) for UCLA as a freshman, Anigbogu showed flashes of being an elite rebounder and rim protector, averaging 12.4 rebounds (4.35 offensive) and 3.7 blocks per 40 minutes. If he declares for the 2017 draft, he'll be an intriguing prospect with a lacking resume, but if he stays and proves he can be an interior force for 25-to-30 minutes per game as a sophomore, there's no question he can get into the Top 10 for 2018. His size, length, physicality and energy on both ends will be very useful at the next level. (Getty)
10. D.J. Wilson, PF, Michigan
Age: 21 (February 19, 1996)
Size: 6-foot-10, 240 pounds
There's almost always an upperclassmen who takes a big leap, and though Wilson's age could potentially hurt, he has the game to make that leap should he decide to stay for his junior year. After an inconsistent 2016-17 season that was full of ups and downs, he reminded NBA scouts of his potential during March, averaging 15.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 threes, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals in seven postseason games.
He's incredibly enticing as a 6-foot-10 power forward who can stretch the floor on offense and protect the rim on defense, and showing consistency for an entire season would make him a strong lottery candidate. (Getty)
