Rank Player Class Data 'BB' Comment
| 5 | Lance Stephenson | 2009 | CG, 6-4, 195, Bishop Loughlin (Brooklyn, NY) | Stephenson is a very talented freshman-to-be. He has good size and length. He drives strong to the basket. Stephenson has good court vision and is a great passer. He is also a good defender and rebounder.
| | 16 | Corey Stokes | 2007 | Swing, 6-5, 185, St. Benedict Prep (Newark, NJ) | Stokes is a great athlete and a strong finisher. He has a great shot which includes a great three-point shot. He needs to continue to improve his mid-range game and his rebounding.
| | 20 | Erving Walker | 2008 | PG, 5-6, 140, Christ The King (Middle Village, NY) | Walker may not even be as tall as he’s listed. But that doesn’t matter, he can play. He handles the ball well, and he can shoot. He has a great three-point shot, and has range even beyond the three-point line. Colleges should give this guy a look, even if they aren’t impressed with his size.
