However, any team with a decent training staff should be able to get some weight on him.
Trey Burke - 6' scoring PG from Michigan being compared to Mo Williams. Of the list so far, I think he might be the best option if he's still available. Some lists have him shooting up the ranks after the NCAA tournament, we'll see if he's still trending that high come draft day.
Michael Carter-Williams PG - Not a great to to assist ratio, not sure I'd want a guy with those types of numbers in college.
Mason Plumlee C - 6'11' center whose a bit of a defensive liability due to a lack of speed, but he's been offensively effective and showed improved stats year after year at Duke.
Kelly Olynyk C - 7' center whose had some experience playing internationally. His main criticism are turnovers and questions about defensive toughness. That said, he's a big man who also has a solid jump shot which seem to do very well in the current NBA style of play.

Dirk lite. But he wouldn't be a center in the NBA for a few years.
