Aaron Brooks is a surprise at 37 to me. He is an overachiever in a sense while guys like Ndubi Ebi should have clearly went to school.
Others like Shakur and Padgett have stayed in school yet will never sniff an NBA floor.

Actually, I could see Padgett coming into the league in a few years, in the same way Brad Miller did. It depends on how "recovered" he actually is from the injuries he endured over the last couple of seasons.

Question: If Aaron Brooks is an overachiever, what is Mustafa Shakur (#10)? If anything, he's a top-25 player from this class.

This one really varies; everything from your NBA superstars (LeBron, Paul) to solid NBA players to solid college players to unmitigated busts, as well as one player that I still don't think really exists (Ndubi Ebi).
