Checking in with the top 10 draft prospects for the 2015 NBA Draft prospects from college basketball

The college basketball season is about halfway over by now, so it seems like the perfect time to check-in with the top 10 prospects for the 2015 NBA Draft who are playing in college basketball.

Likely, these ten players will not be the first ten picks in the NBA draft. Emmanuel Mudiay and all of those hot-shot international stars are going to be thrown into the mix this spring and will cause some of the college players stock to fall.

I know a doppelganger is actually someone who looks like another person, but for the purpose of this discussion, an NBA doppelganger is a player who plays like another player.

If that sounds interesting to you, please proceed to the slides!

If not, please proceed to the slides anyway! It’ll be fun and informative, I promise!

Here’s the top ten college basketball prospects for the 2015 NBA Draft and how they’ve fared thus far in the 2014-15 college basketball season.
