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)
