An international prospect with tantalizing potential and several college freshmen headline the list of wings in the NBA draft.

Luka Doncic Cheap Avonte Maddox Jersey , the 19-year-old Slovenian playing in Spain, is mentioned as a possible No. 1 overall pick. After Doncic is a group featuring Miami’s Lonnie Walker IV as a possible late lottery pick, as well as first-round prospects in Oregon’s Troy Brown and Villanova’s Donte DiVincenzo – the Final Four’s most outstanding player in April.

Here’s a look at the top wing prospects in Thursday’s draft:

LUKA DONCIC

Doncic has the ability to stretch the floor with his shot and has the versatility to play at point guard or off the ball.

STRENGTHS: He’s a skilled prospect with polished ability to score or run the offense as an adept passer. He has shown the ability to knock down outside shots with deep range and a stepback move. He can shoot over smaller guards, whether off the dribble or in the post, with a 6-foot-7, 220-pound frame. He helped Real Madrid win a EuroLeague championship while averaging about 15 points, five rebounds and five assists.

CONCERNS: As with any overseas prospect, there’s the question of how well his game will translate to the NBA. There’s also uncertainty as to how he’ll match up with more explosive athletes.

LONNIE WALKER IV

The Miami freshman is athletic with the ability to score.

STRENGTHS: While he averaged just 11.5 points, he got better as the season wore on. He was in double figures in 14 of the last 17 games after a slow start. He also has a sturdy frame Youth Chris Herndon Jersey , checking in at 6-4 and 196 pounds with a 6-10 wingspan at the combine.

CONCERNS: He made just 34.6 percent of his 3-point tries and was inconsistent as a college rookie.

TROY BROWN

The 6-7 wing is Oregon’s first one-and-done freshman.

STRENGTHS: Brown has the versatility to play at guard or small forward. He made his biggest impact on defense (team-best 55 steals) and on the glass (team-best 6.2 rebounds per game) with a roughly 6-10 wingspan.

CONCERNS: The outside shot needs to improve. Brown made just 32 of 110 attempts from 3-point range (29 percent), including 14 of 60 (23 percent) after the start of 2018.

DONTE DIVINCENZO

One star-making turn in the NCAA championship game changed everything for the 6-5 redshirt sophomore out of Villanova.

STRENGTHS: Look no further than that title-game win against Michigan that doubled as his personal highlight reel. He had 31 points off the bench in an impressive display of outside shooting (five 3-pointers) and athleticism (including a two-handed block of a dunk attempt). He also checked in with a combine-best 42-inch vertical leap.

CONCERNS: DiVincenzo has a reputation as a bit of a streaky shooter and had a team-high 79 turnovers. And his rapid rise meant no one got to see him handle the challenge of being in a full-time leading role.

OTHERS TO WATCH:

– GRAYSON ALLEN: Allen was hero (freshman spark in Duke’s 2015 title-game win) and villain (multiple tripping incidents) during a four-year career. But he’s an experienced scorer who attacked the rim, hit 3s and played both guard spots. The potential first-rounder also had the best time in the combine’s lane agility test, a sign he’s a bit more athletic than many think.

– KEVIN HUERTER: Maryland’s 6-7 sophomore offers perimeter size and outside shooting (nearly 42 percent on 3-pointers), which could land him in the first round.

– CHANDLER HUTCHISON: The 6-7 senior and first-round prospect averaged 20 points and 7.7 rebounds last year at Boise State .

– DE’ANTHONY MELTON: The 6-3 guard is a possible first-round pick with the potential to play either guard spot and defend. But he sat out last year due to eligibility concerns tied to the federal corruption investigation into college basketball.

– JOSH OKOGIE: The Georgia Tech sophomore (16.9 points in two seasons) with the 7-foot wingspan is likely to be a second-rounder.

– JEROME ROBINSON: The Atlantic Coast Conference’s No. 2 scorer (20.7) out of Boston College offers some combo-guard potential and could be a late first-rounder.

– ZHAIRE SMITH: Texas Tech’s freshman figures to go in the mid to late first round as an explosive athlete with defensive potential.

– GARY TRENT JR.: Another freshman guard (6-6, 209) and son of a former NBA first-round pick, Trent shot 40 percent from behind the arc at Duke. He’s a likely second-round pick.

Shaquem Griffin deservedly received the bulk of the attention when the Seattle Seahawks drafted the star linebacker with one hand in the fifth round and reunited him with his twin brother Shaquill.

But aside from Griffin’s selection, general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll made clear the Seahawks intent to re-establish the core tenants of how they want to play: run the ball, play aggressive defense and rely on field position.

It started in the first round with the selection of San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny and continued through the nine selections made.

After an eventful offseason that’s seen Seattle overhaul its coaching staff and say goodbye to some key veterans Josh Allen Jersey Youth , the Seahawks needed to have a successful draft. Recent drafts have been filled with more misses than hits and started to catch up with Seattle last season when the depth wasn’t there to overcome key injuries.

”We feel like we made great decisions all the way through and we’ll see how it goes. You always feel that way right after,” Schneider said.

Here’s what else to know about Seattle’s nine picks, including seven on the final day:

END OF THE ROAD: The end may be near for the longest-tenured Seahawks player.

Seattle traded up in the fifth round to draft Texas punter Michael Dickson, who left school early for a chance at the NFL. Dickson was regarded as the top punter available in the draft and could be a sign that Jon Ryan’s tenure in Seattle is coming to an end. Ryan has been with the team since 2008 and has two years left on his contract with Seattle but counts $3.2 million against the salary cap in 2018 and $3.6 million in 2019.

Both Carroll and Schneider insisted Ryan will be part of the punting competition.

Dickson averaged 47.4 yards per punt as a junior, was a two-time Big 12 special teams player of the year, and was the Ray Guy Award winner in 2017. Perhaps most impressive, Dickson was the MVP of the Texas Bowl victory over Missouri after downing 10 of his 11 punts inside the 20-yard line.

”He can do stuff with the ball we haven’t seen yet so we’re really intrigued to see how that translates,” Schneider said.

RUNNIN’ DOWN A DREAM: Seattle continued to focus on improving its run game on offense by drafting Washington tight end Will Dissly in the fourth round.

”We thought he was the best blocker in the draft,” Carroll said.

Dissly arrived at Washington as a defensive end but transitioned to tight end for his final two seasons. While blocking is his strength Isac Lundestrom Ducks Jersey , Dissly also had 21 receptions and two TDs as a senior. Dissly is the first Washington player drafted by the Seahawks since another tight end, Jerramy Stevens, was selected in the first round in 2002.

POSTION SWITCH: It wouldn’t be a Seattle draft without at least one player switching positions. But this one makes sense as the Seahawks intend to use Tre Flowers at cornerback. Flowers was primarily a safety at Oklahoma State, but his size makes him a perfect fit for cornerback in Seattle. Flowers is 6-foot-3 with long arms and has experience playing some cornerback in college.

SLIDING DOWN: A gem of Seattle’s draft could end up being Ohio State offensive tackle Jamarco Jones, selected late in the fifth round. Jones was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 3 offensive tackle available in the draft, but was taken with the 168th overall selection. Seattle projects Jones as a left tackle.

QB CALLING: For just the second time in nine drafts, the Seahawks used a draft pick on a quarterback. Florida International QB Alex McGough was selected with Seattle’s final pick, No. 220 overall in the seventh round. Seattle indicated this may be the year it takes a QB to develop behind Russell Wilson, the only other QB drafted by the team since 2010. McGough threw for 2 Jim Thome Jersey ,791 yards and 17 TDs as a senior, but suffered a broken collarbone in the opening minutes of FIU’s bowl game in December.

McGough did run some read-option in college and his mobility makes him a logical backup option to Wilson.

STILL NEED: The Seahawks addressed their most pressing needs, but could still use more depth at linebacker and an offensive lineman with the ability to play center. The other area Seattle may look to target among undrafted free agents could be a bigger wide receiver, but this draft clearly defined the Seahawks are going back to relying on the run first.
