Draft Preview: ESPN Analysts

With the 2015 Draft just more than 24 hours away, ESPN analysts Fran Fraschilla, Tom Penn and Chad Ford offered their opinions on the hopefuls waiting to make the jump to the NBA. Below is a compilation of their thoughts on many of the top prospects.

Jahlil Okafor — Duke (C)
Fraschilla: The dilemma at No. 2 is interesting, because although the league has gone smaller, you want to swing for the fences. And I think it’s going to be awfully hard to pass up on Jahlil Okafor. … In Okafor you’re talking about about a guy that shot 66 percent from the field, had one of the best freshman years in recent years and when he’s not double-teamed in the NBA every single night, I think he’s going to be a terrific low-post scorer.
