TAKE 5: Prospects On the Hawks Radar

The sophomore season for many college players is much like the Saturday of a major golf tournament--only for college prospects "moving day" is an entire "moving season." In recent years, players such as Utah's Jakob Poeltl have removed their name from the draft and improved their stock while others such as Michigan State's Gary Harris have returned to no longer be a lottery pick. For all the easy criticism thrown at players for leaving too early, more first rounders fall in their sophomore season then improve their stock.

Last season, California's Ivan Rabb and Indiana's Thomas Bryant were likely lottery selections following outstanding freshman seasons.
