4. Marcus Keene

Marcus Keene might be best known for being the leading scorer in the entire NCAA during the 2016-17 season. He averaged exactly 30 points a game and scored a total of 959 points. He also scored all of those points while averaging 4.9 assists per game and 4.5 rebounds per game.

Some are comparing him to Isaiah Thomas of the Boston Celtics as they are both incredibly undersized, but pure scorers. Keene comes in a 5’11”, 160 pounds.

The obvious struggle for Keene will be finding a place in the NBA with his height disadvantage, but as the NBA trends towards smaller lineups, and teams are looking at the success of shorter players like Tyler Ulis and Isaiah Thomas, there’s definitely a good reason to gamble on a guy who scores so well and shoots 36.8 percent from three-point range.

Keene will need to keep up his offensive production to have any chance of making the Washington Wizards, but he’s proven to be able to handle that throughout his short college career, he’s definitely one to keep an eye out for.
