A great season for the Florida State Seminoles powered by a very talented young core could see a lot of success for those top stars at the next level. Florida State got a lot of their top tier production out of freshman 6-foot-8 power forward Patrick Williams. In the 29 games Williams played in, he averaged 9.2 points per game, four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block.

Williams has one of the more balanced skill sets of any forward prospect in this draft class. His consistency in the scoring and shooting departments could use some work, but he’s still one of the more raw and young prospects in this class.

A 2020 NBA Draft prospect that was pretty underrated entering the 2019-20 college hoops season was the Villanova Wildcats sophomore small forward Saddiq Bey. He averaged 16.1 points per game, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists, while shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 45.1 percent from beyond the arc.

This tremendous offensive skill set of Bey should translate smooth at the next level. His defense does leave a bit to be desired, though.

While Bey saw a rise in his draft stock nearly at the immediate outset of the college hoops season that was, a player that saw an opposite trend in his stock is the Washington Huskies standout freshman big man Isaiah Stewart. The former five-star recruit combined to form one of the more lethal frontcourt pairings of any power conference team.

Stewart did show some vulnerability and inconsistency in the back half of his freshman campaign. He averaged 17 points per game, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks. But he also turned the ball over too much (more than twice per game) and has very limited shooting range.
