2016 Draft Prospect Preview: Taurean Prince will excel as a role player

Though he does not project for superstardom, Tauren Prince could still have an important role in the NBA.

There is a steep thirst in today's NBA for lengthy wings that can withstand a barrage of screens, switch on the pick and roll, mask as a four in small-ball lineups and splash corner threes at a high clip. Deep within the flurry of trey bombs from Golden State lies perhaps the biggest reason why they have won 73 games this season; their wings are all super long and boast a vast skill set. The typical team would kill to have a player of Andre Iguodala's stature, let alone combine him with Harrison Barnes and Shaun Livingston.
