Likely a draft-and-stash.
Extremely poised after his four-year career with the Hurricanes, Wong is a natural scorer and was the leader on the Miami team that reached the Final Four. A knockdown shooter, he won ACC Player of the Year last season.

One of the best defenders in the draft, he can capture a role as a dependable stopper. But he's pretty limited on offense, without the athleticism that suggests it might improve dramatically.
A wing that likes to play like a big, Camara has emerged as an improved shooter. He's a particularly strong rebounder.
A talented scorer who played four years and won a National Championship with Kansas, Wilson struggled at the combine and likely needs to improve as a shooter. But he's a good driver and rebounder, and has gotten better every season.
