Jarrett Allen, Texas

DraftExpress Ranking: 18

Position: C

Class: Freshman

Tournament Odds: 0.91%

Big Wins: vs. Oklahoma State 1/4

Upcoming Games: vs. Baylor 3/4

Profile: Allen is averaging 13.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game for the Longhorns, which is even more impressive considering Texas faced the 17th-most difficult schedule.

He has 12 double-doubles on the season, including a 22-point, 19-rebound performance against Kansas in January. He’s also in consideration for dunk of the year for what he did to WVU’s lead blocker, Sagaba Konate. With such a deep draft, it is conceivable that Allen returns to Texas as the centerpiece of a talented, more experienced Longhorns team. Or is that just head coach Shaka Smart dreaming?
