1. Bonzie Colson – Notre Dame/From Massachusetts (6-6 225, 22 years old)

Bonzie is only 6′-6″ but he has a 7′-0″ wingspan and a ton of athleticism. He is known as the Duke-killer, which as great of a college team as Duke is should tell you how good he is right there. He averaged 20.2 points on 50% field goal accuracy with 10.1 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 2.3 blocks per game this season. He only made 29% of his three point attempts but has shown the ability to knock down treys and can improve over time. He holds up against ranked competition averaging 21 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2 blocks in 4 such games. It is such a shame that he isn’t going dancing this year as Notre Dame didn’t make the tournament. If he hadn’t missed 15 games with a broken left foot that would likely be a much different story. The reason to like Bonzie so much is he has Shawn Marion written all over him. A slightly undersized forward that puts up big numbers even against the best of teams. Why wouldn’t the Phoenix Suns want someone like that? Bonzie Colson would be a great risk for the Suns to take.
