Tactical changes in the NBA means players are looked to for very different skillsets than in the past. Exhibit A: the #8 player on Brew Hoop's 2016 Draft Board, Marquese Chriss - PF, Washington. Chriss was far from a household name prior to his freshman season at Washington, but he's quickly become one of the darlings of this draft, getting more and more attention every day and steadily climbing up mock drafts.
Chriss looks, in the eyes of many, like the prototypical modern power forward prospect. He's big, he's athletic, he's skilled with the ball, and he can stretch the floor.
