In the range we're likely looking (8 - 16), I'd say;
Tony Mitchell
Jeff Withey
Patric Young
Josh Smith
I wouldn't call any of them fantastic at this point .. but pretty solid.

Not really. Mitchell is at least a great athlete .. Withey is a very good shot-blocker. Hard to say at this point.
Are you talking about Cooley?
Josh Smith has the ability, but terrible work ethic .... and coaching discipline.
I like Withey as a backup center. Hopefully he has put on some muscle this year and added a little bit more offense. I think he actually had a more blocks per minute than Anthony Davis did last year?

Anybody who thinks Aaron Craft is any more than a backup PG in the NBA is a fool. In a very weak PG crop, he's hardly mentioned for a reason.
Kyle Anderson is overrated, and anybody who takes him in the lottery has made a huge mistake.
Josh Smith has excellent footwork (very important for a post player), almost too good of size (he's fat), and a lot of ability like PKM says. The downsides are that he's lazy (fatness disease) and he plays for UCLA. I'm not really sure where he fits into the NBA, maybe a larger girthed Glen Davis or something like that. Hard to say.
PKM, I'm sure Mason Plumlee (MP2) will do fine for Duke this year, but I'm just not a fan of his at the next level other than his defense and rebounding. I expect him to essentially be the same player as his older brother in the NBA, we'll just have to see if he is ok with playing that role.
Speaking of Duke, Sheed Suliamon (sp?) should be an interesting player to watch. He'll benefit from Andre Dawkins redshirting and Seth Curry being a midget. Has nice size and playmaking ability.
Cody Zeller is a stud that just needs more size.
Isaiah Austin is gonna go the route of any Baylor top recruit. You'd think they'd learn after a while.
Patric Young is a defensive beast. Chiseled physique with good athleticism, playing at Florida hurts his stock IMO. I do like him though.
Otto Porter from GTown is another player to keep your eye on over the season. Similar to Tony Mitchell (except that people have actually seen Porter play).
Speaking of Tony Mitchell...if you've never seen him play, don't crown him, don't evaluate him, just shut up and accept the fact that you know nothing about him.

I am warm to Withey (kinda catchy, no?). But any reference to his numbers being comparable to Davis' is akin to Jeremy Evans owning the 3rd best numbers of all FA's .. ahead of Deron, i.e.
