Underrated Incoming Freshman in 2013-14
Wayne Selden, Kansas- Wayne Selden will be overshadowed by the other incoming recruits at Kansas, including Andrew Wiggens and Joel Embiid, but Selden has the potential to lead Kansas in scoring. He can drive, and shoot the three ball exceptionally well. He will share the backcourt with rising sophomore Naadir Tharpe, who is great at finding players. Selden will be a household name come March.
James Young, Kentucky- With basically the same case as Wayne Selden, Young will be overshadowed by the other incoming freshmen. Young can shoot, drive, finish inside, and play great defense. Right now, the SF spot at UK is Alex Poythress's to lose. But if Poythress plays like he did last year, Young will be a surefire starter on John Calapari's roster.
Keith Frazier, SMU- The only reason Keith Frazier is underrated is because he decided to go to SMU. He is an elite scorer with seemingly endless range. He can make plays off the dribble and finish in lane. With SMU in the AAC, Frazier will be able to show what he has against backcourt players such as Joe Jackson from Memphis, Russ Smith from Louisville, and Ryan Boatwright from UConn.
Jabari Bird, California- The "other" Jabari in this class has tremendous ability. He can shoot the ball, but is mostly known for his inside finishing. He runs the break as well as almost anyone else in this class. He is a great shot blocker, and at 6'5", that will help the California defense. After losing Allen Crabbe to the draft, Bird will be the go-to guy at Cal.
