9. Collin Chandler

There are flashes for Chandler. He does look like a player who will be really good, and he plays solid enough that he isn't a liability, but he isn't a star yet. I'd love to see the SEC schedule bring it out in him.

10. Ansley Almonor

I think the problem with Almonor is he's not a typical big. He's this weird tweener that can shoot the three and play like a guard, but he's asked to be a big. He's not reliable in games to consistently score or defend. At least not yet.

11. Travis Perry

He just simply isn't ready. I wrote about why in this article, but it's clear he needs more development and time. He's a great shooter, but it hasn't shown up in games yet. He often looks like he's trying to catch up to a play or show off more than he looks comfortable and settled in the rhythm of the game.
