Dorian Finney-Smith
6-8, 220, Florida

Boston Celtics
Quincy Ford
6-8, 225, Northeastern
Position: Guard/Forward
Summary: Averaged 16.4 points, 7.0 rebounds while shooting 34.8 percent on 3s. Underwent season-ending back surgery that sidelined him for the 2013-2014 season. Bounced back with a pair of solid seasons, the last of which earned him a spot of on the NABC All-District Second team as well as the All-CAA Second team.
Projected draft status: Late second, undrafted.
Marcus Georges-Hunt
6-5, 216, Georgia Tech
Position: Guard
Summary: Averaged 16.7 points, shooting 45.4 percent from the field while dishing out a team-high 3.3 assists per game. Has a knack for getting to the free throw line, evident by him ranking 13th in free throws made and 18th in free throw attempts.
Projected draft status: Undrafted, maybe late second round.
Sheldon McClellan
6-5, 200, Miami
Position: Guard
Summary: A transfer from Texas, McClellan averaged 16.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists for Miami this past season while shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 40.6 percent on 3s. Has a lot of tools that are intriguing to the NBA, but consistency and decision-making are areas of uncertainty about where he’ll eventually land.
Projected draft status: Second round pick.
Mike Tobey
7-0, 260, Virginia
Position: Center
Summary: Turned a few heads during Portsmouth Invitational when he averaged 12 points per game. Appeared in all 37 games this season with Virginia, but only had seven starts. Shot a team-best 60.1 percent from the field and was second on the team with 22 blocked shots.
Projected draft status: Undrafted.
Jameel Warney
6-8, 260, Stony Brook
Position: Power forward
Summary: The best player in Stony Brook history, Warney was a double-double machine this season in which he averaged 19.8 points and 10.8 rebounds to go with 3.0 blocked shots. An Honorable mention All-American, Warney was the America East Player and Defensive Player of the Year. Does not have much of a face-the-basket game but does provide a nice strong presence defensively.
Projected draft status: Second round to undrafted.
