Coby Karl, Boise State senior guard

When I watched Karl at the camp, I couldn't help but think of the way Luke Walton played at the predraft camp in 2003. Walton scored a few buckets, but it was his passing ability that drew the attention of NBA scouts. Walton made passes from all over the court, and that's what Karl did in Orlando. Karl is not well-suited to be a regular point guard in the NBA, but he would make a splendid secondary passer because of his court vision and his acumen in making pinpoint deliveries from any spot.

Karl has a lightning-quick release on his jump shot, and he scored very well at the camp, averaging 12.3 points per game and shooting 53 percent from the field. He lacks some foot speed to compete with the NBA's quicker guards, but players no quicker than Karl have made the league and prospered. There were plenty of quicker, more athletic players in the camp, but Karl's basketball I.Q. stood alone.

Karl has received plenty of goodwill from the basketball community, stemming from his courageous fight against cancer. But he is no charity case. Karl is ready for his next challenge: to make an NBA roster.

Taurean Green, Florida junior point guard

Despite a nondescript third game, Green showed the steady playmaking abilities that helped Florida win two consecutive national championships. He did a good job of distributing the ball to teammates, both in halfcourt sets and after penetrating into the lane, and creating openings. Green's size -- a concern for some evaluators -- didn't seem to have any bearing on his ability to do a good job. Green appears to have enough wiry strength to compete against bigger point guards.

Green has a nice court demeanor. He seems almost unflappable; and with the number of big games he's played in, maybe that shouldn't be any surprise. He shot the ball well all week in the shooting drills, and kept that going into the game, hitting 60 percent of his shots and averaging 10 points per game.

Green, who is apparently staying in the draft, seems to be trailing Ohio State's Mike Conley Jr., Texas A&M's Acie Law IV and Georgia Tech's Javaris Crittenton among point guards available in this draft. At this point, he's vying with players like USC's Gabe Pruitt, Marist's Jared Jordan and Oregon's Aaron Brooks, as well as Nevada's Sessions (if he stays in) for positioning in the draft.

Coleman Collins, Virginia Tech forward

Collins had a very disappointing senior season, in part because he's been dealing with the death of his father, with whom he was very close, in February 2006. He unexpectedly received a spot in the predraft camp after a season in which he averaged only 7.8 points per game. Selection committee members relied on his fine play in previous seasons as the basis for his invitation.

Collins made the most of the invite. He averaged a camp-best 17.7 points per game, shooting 54 percent from the field. Time after time, Collins moved to the open spot, often near the foul line or the top of the key, and swished facing jump shots. Only in the second game did his shot desert him, but he still collected 13 points and eight rebounds in that contest.

It's a certainty that Collins, who was nowhere near any team's draft board entering the camp, will now receive some individual workouts with teams. If he shoots the ball with the confidence he displayed in Orlando, Collins might persuade someone to use a draft pick on him.

Other players who played well at the camp included: Oral Roberts forward Caleb Green; Texas A&M forward Antanas Kavaliauskas; Clemson forward James Mays; Nevada guard Marcelus Kemp; Alabama center Jermareo Davidson; San Diego State guard Brandon Heath; Maryland guard D.J. Strawberry; Oklahoma State's Mario Boggan; Lithuanian guard Renaldas Seibutis of Maroussi in Greece; and Marist's Jordan.
