10. Arnett Moultrie 6-11 235lbs Miss St. Junior PF

2011-12 stats: 35.8 mpg, 16.4 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 55% fg, 78% ft

Projection: Late Lottery to Mid 1st round

Strengths: Arnett Moultrie is a very athletic big with both post and perimeter skills offensively. I have ranked high then some do on their boards, but I’ve been watching him since he played at UTEP and I really think he’s going to be a good NBA player. He is going to be effective in the pick and roll game because of his ability to hit the mid range shot and ability to finish with authority at the rim. He averaged of ten rebounds a game and is very good on the offensive boards.

Weaknesses: Moultrie at time falls in love with the jump shot and doesn’t play in the post as often as I think he should. He also should be a much better defender and shot blocker with his athleticism. He averaged just under 1 block a game during his college career. He also will need to hit the weight room and get stronger in order to deal with NBA bigs on a nightly basis.
