Some big guys that are going under the radar and could be valuable as draft and stash guys with our second round picks. As for Diop, I heard his wingspan is insane, but I couldn't find anything concrete other than the following:

Quote
Standing 6'11" with a wingspan of 7'11" feet
Quote
Eurohopes reported he had a 7'9 wingspan


Quote
Youssoupha Fall
Center 7'-3", 275 lbs France
Age 20
Wingspan 7'-8"

Projection   Second Round Pick/Undrafted
Positives   
Huge big man with a 7-8 wingspan
Huge hands
Good rebounder
Plays hard
Great shot blocking potential
Negatives   
Needs to add strength
Very raw offensively

Quote
Petr Cornelie
Power Forward 7'-0", 225 lbs France
Age20
7-2 wingspan
40% from 3's in 15-16 season


Projection   Second Round Pick/Undrafted
Positives   
Long, stretch four
Fluid athlete, runs the floor well
Developing low post player
Has 3 point range on his jump shot
May develop into a stretch four in time
Negatives
Needs to add strength
Still learning the game

Quote
Ilimane Diop
Center 7'-0", 230 lbs Senegal
Age21

Projection   Second Round Pick/Undrafted
Positives   
Super long, athletic big man
Terrific shot blocker and rebounder
Runs the floor well
Solid offensive weapon with an emerging mid range game
Negatives   
Needs to improve in the post
Needs to continue to add strength


Quote
Alpha Kaba
Power Forward 6'-10", 225 lbs France
Age 20
Winngspan 7' 5.25"
Reach 9'-3"

Projection   Second Round Pick/Undrafted
Positives   
Strong, athletic power forward
Runs the floor well
Good rebounder and shot-blocker
Can face the basket and hit open jumpers
Negatives   
Lacks post moves
Low basketball IQ
Needs to improve his motor

Juan Hernangomez, F, Spain Look like a really solid pick if still on the board at #23. Already productive player in the ACB who has the perfect size, athletic ability and skill set for the modern stretch PF.

Wiz

Yeah, I was excluding some of the better known prospects like him. I know Guven was at one point considered a late 1st rd pick, but I guess he's failed to develop since then.
