BYU Individual Rankings based on NBA potential
These are obviously very subjective, so I would love to hear what you think. Regardless of rankings I hope every BYU player ever makes it and succeeds in the NBA.

1. Egor Demin - He will be a lottery pick in June
2. Kanon Catchings - He is working towards a 1st round/lottery pick type of season
3. Mihailo Boskovic - Bosko was hoping to get drafted a couple of years and it didn't happen. But a chance to get on a roster or be drafted with a late pick could open up if he excels at BYU.
4. Mawot Mag - 6'7" athletic with long arms. He was the NBA is looking for. What he needs is to develop into something more consistent offensively. A good shooter. A guy who can get to the rim. At least a good connector.
5. Richie Saunders - Richie needs to continue to work on his 3 point shot for this to happen, but I could see him playing in the NBA as an energy 3 and D guy.
6. Keiba Keita - Keita has the athleticism for the NBA. But he is undersized for a guy who can't shoot. I think it would be a long shot for him to get there, but if he keeps working who knows
7. Dallin Hall - I don't see it for Hall, but he has good positional size. He needs to improve in shooting and scoring to have a shot. He is a good defender and competent playmaker.
8. Trevin Knell - The NBA is always looking for shooting and if Knell can establish himself as an elite shooter he has decent size to get there. He will need to continue to work on his athleticism, but really he needs to show he can be a 40%+ 3 point shooter shooting tough shots.
9. Fouss Traore - I love Fouss, but unless he becomes a threat from outside and gets more foot speed I don't see any chance of him playing in the NBA. Still great college player.
10. Dawson Baker - We haven't seen his best, but he is undersized to be anything other than a 1 at the next level and I'm not sure he has the foot speed to get it done. I hope I'm wrong.

Crawford/Koz I have not seen enough of these two guys and they are too young for me to have a good grasp of what they could become.

I would put my over under on NBA guys from this team at 2.5. I think 2 is a given and I think someone else sneaks on to a roster, maybe 2.
