From The Green Room To The NBA: 2012 Draft Profile Videos

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Arnett Moultrie Scouting Report Video

Arnett Moultrie left the Mississippi St. Bulldogs after his junior year, averaging 16.4 points and 10.5 rebounds this past season. The 6-foot-10 power forward/center is now poised to be a first-round draft choice and potentially a late-lottery draft pick.

For a refresher on Moultrie's strengths and weaknesses and a profile of the big man, SB Nation Studies has produced this profile:

At 230 pounds, Moultrie can likely still add some weight to his frame without sacrificing any basketball ability. His upside could be as good as Jermaine O'Neal's, or he could be more like Marreese Speights, a player who went 16th overall just a few years ago.

Moultrie, though, is concentrating on the now, just waiting to be drafted. Once he hears his name called, puts on his new team's cap and then signs his contract, the real work will begin.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Kendall Marshall Scouting Report Video

Kendall Marshall isn't the flashiest player in the 2012 NBA Draft, but there's a pretty good chance he ends up being the best point guard when it all is said and done. His season ended unfortunately early due to injury, causing the North Carolina Tar Heels an earlier-than-planned exit during the NCAA Tournament.

Marshall's not a gifted scorer and isn't going to wow anyone with his athleticism, but there are quite a few things he's better than average at on the basketball court. For more on that, SB Nation Studios has put together a nice little scouting report on the man some know as "Butter."

It's tough to compare anyone to Mark Jackson, a point guard that grasps basketball so well that he's already an NBA head coach, but it obviously bodes well for Marshall that he's earning that type of comparison this early in his career.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Tyler Zeller Scouting Report Video

Tyler Zeller isn't going to be the sexiest pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, but the four-year power forward for the North Carolina Tar Heels seems like he'll be around the NBA for a long time. He comes from a pretty solid basketball family and continued to improve while in college, unlike some players who stagnate after their initial couple of seasons.

For those unfamiliar with Zeller's game, the crew over at SB Nation's production studio has put together an excellent synopsis of him in their scouting report video.

The Brook Lopez comparison seems to be a bit on the optimistic side, but Zeller could get there if he continues to improve. The P.J. Brown comparison isn't awful, but Zeller likely is going to surprise people once he gets to the NBA with his shooting touch and versatility that didn't quite show through during his college career.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Perry Jones III Scouting Report Video

Perry Jones III likely would have been a Top 5 pick in last year's NBA Draft. The Baylor Bears product was unable to help himself out as much as he would've liked this season, though, and he now finds himself on the bubble of the 2012 lottery.

Jones is a skilled player and has great size for what he does, but he's still a bit of an enigma in this year's class. SB Nation has put together a video scouting report for those looking to get more familiar with Jones leading up to this year's draft.

It's probably not a good thing to be compared to Anthony Randolph considering the current power forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves has yet to put it all together -- therefore limiting the ridiculous upside he once had -- but that seems to be a pretty apt comparison at this point in the process.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Damian Lillard Scouting Report Video

Damian Lillard didn't receive a lot of attention during the regular season, but that hasn't stopped the Weber State point guard from popping up in the lottery of most mocks heading the 2012 NBA Draft. There's a good reason why Lillard is up there, too -- because he's very good at what he does.

For those that need to brush up on their knowledge, the fine folks at SB Nation have put together a video scouting report embedded below for all to enjoy.

The fact that Lillard is compared to Lindsey Hunter -- a point guard who was a full-time starter during just four of his 17 seasons -- is probably not what the fans of whichever team that drafts him will want to hear. That said, though, there's a reason that Hunter was able to stick around in the league through his 39th birthday.

Regardless of Lillard's NBA player comparisons, he should be a good little point guard considering how he stayed so far under the radar.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Austin Rivers Scouting Report Video

Austin Rivers is one of the more intriguing players in this year's draft, in part due to his lineage and in part due to his fit at the NBA level. The son of Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers is very talented, but his cocky demeanor has reportedly rubbed some NBA executives the wrong way leading up to the 2012 NBA Draft.

Regardless, as the video below explains, there are a lot of things to like about the Duke Blue Devils sharp-shooting guard.

Whether or not Rivers' ceiling is indeed Monta Ellis won't likely be determined anytime soon, but it does seem to be an apt comparison -- at least in style -- judging from his collegiate career. He'll likely have to alter his game in the NBA, though, making him a more complete player.

Rivers will be selected in the first round, but it's unclear how far the guard with the great pedigree will fall.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Jeremy Lamb Scouting Report Video

Jeremy Lamb's UConn squad sputtered a bit without Kemba Walker, but it wasn't for lack of scoring from the sophomore wing. The 6' 5" two-guard hung 17.7 points per game on his opponents and is looking to be a lottery pick in Thursday night's NBA Draft.

One thing's for sure: Lamb can flat-out put up points. Nobody could take that away from him in college, and he'll likely be able to keep putting up decent numbers on the scoresheet in the NBA. However, it's the rest of his game that might hurt him. He's not a big fan of passing and, while he has the length and athleticism to be quite a good defender, he hasn't been a monster in that department. His demeanor sometimes earned criticism of being "too laid back." Lamb will definitely go in the lottery, but past that he might not be a great fit, as teams lower in the draft probably won't be in need of primary scorers.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Andre Drummond Scouting Report Video

If our own NBA bloggers mock draft is any indication, Andre Drummond could be tasked with breaking two separate curses when he begins his professional basketball career. Drummond is projected to go to the Portland Trail Blazers in that mock, a franchise where centers go to suffer crippling career-ending injuries. He already has to deal with the stigma of being an uber-talented and athletic big man from the University of Connecticut, a phrase that has described a good number of NBA flops over the last decade.

The good news is that he has no known serious health problems and is an absolute monster defensively.

The bad news is that Drummond did not produce as expected in his only season of college basketball. Before Anthony Davis became a dominant force in college basketball and Drummond had an entire season to not make significant progress, he was considered the possible No. 1 overall selection. Now, he might fall out of the top five.

There's no reason to think Drummond can't contribute as a solid interior defender almost immediately in the NBA, but his offensive game needs serious work and there are questions lingering about whether he displaces the necessary intensity on the court to stick in the pros. He could be a big boom-or-bust candidate that needs to land in the right situation.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Harrison Barnes Scouting Report Video

Harrison Barnes, once the No. 1 high school recruit in the nation, was a presumed eventual No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick when he joined North Carolina. Sensing that he hadn't reached those heights quite yet last season, he returned for his sophomore year. Barnes was very solid, but slightly disappointing for the second straight year as a sophomore, but has decided that the time is right to test the NBA waters.

Barnes could go as high as No. 2 overall, but he's likely to drop a bit, to the edge of the top-five. He has the offensive polish to be an elite NBA scorer, but his numbers don't quite match up with his raw skills.

It would be surprising if Barnes didn't end up as a very reliable scorer in the NBA, but based on his production in college, teams in the top five might look past him and take a guy they think has less polish, but a higher ceiling.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Thomas Robinson Scouting Report Video

The Charlotte Bobcats will miss out on Anthony Davis, barring a miracle, but there are still some very talented big men available with the No. 2 pick. The forerunner to get selected at that second spot is probably Kansas' Thomas Robinson. T-Rob averaged a double-double in his junior season, leading the nation in rebounds and leading Kansas all the way to the National Championship game. The power forward will certainly be off the board within the first five picks Thursday night.

Robinson was a bench player his sophomore year, but emerged in his junior season as a relentless rebounder who never seems to be out of a play. His size - 6-foot-8, 240 pounds - should translate to the next level, but there is some concern that his offensive game isn't fully suited yet for the pros. That said, we're basing everything we know of Robinson on his one phenomenal junior season - Robinson could certainly take a potent collegiate post scoring game and develop it into something special on the professional level.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Bradley Beal Scouting Report Video

When the NCAA basketball season concluded, the top three in the 2012 NBA Draft seemed to be set in stone, and it didn't include Bradley Beal. Since then, he's shot up draft boards, both because he's impressed scouts and because he fills a need for multiple teams near the top of the draft order. The University of Florida shooting guard now appears to be a near lock for the top-five, and could even crash the party for Thomas Robinson and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in the top-three.

Beal isn't an elite finisher at the rim yet, which isn't surprising given that he's a a tiny bit undersized for an NBA shooting guard at 6'4". He also has a lot of work to do on defense, but there's no reason that he won't be able to improve both as a defender and a finisher given his elite athleticism.

2012 NBA Draft Prospects: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Scouting Report Video

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will certainly be a lottery pick in the upcoming 2012 NBA Draft, and almost certainly a top-five pick, but his fate is far from sealed. Unlike fellow Kentucky star Anthony Davis, who is a sure-fire No. 1 overall pick, Kidd-Gilchrist could go anywhere in the top five. He has stiff competition from Thomas Robinson, Bradley Beal and Harrison Barnes at the top of the draft, and his status as a 'tweener might mean he's not a perfect fit for anyone.

Kidd-Gilchrist has the athleticism and varied offensive game to contribute anywhere, but there are legitimate concerns about his 'tweener status. He might be too small to defend most NBA 3's and not quite quick enough to defend top-notch 2's in the NBA. He's also going to need to improve his jump shot if he's going to be a starting guard in the NBA, but his physical tools and production in college suggest that he'll find a way to make the transition to the NBA, even if he's not an obvious cookie-cutter fit for anyone.

Sure-fire No. 1 overall pick Anthony Davis headlines the prospects in this week's NBA Draft.
