NBADraft.net: The college counselors here you have been able to watch on TV all year. But now that you are coaching them has any of them really stood out in your mind because you did know much about their game before this?

FF: They are all impressive in their own way or they would not be here but a guy like Patrick Christopher who has been part of the Nike Skills Academy, has been at camps the past few years gets better and better every year. {NBAdraft.net: We noticed the consistency in his jump shot during drills that day.} His jump shot was not one of his strengths a few years ago. Now that is a guy (Christopher) that has continued to improve every year.

Larry Sanders is an excellent shot blocker and a guy that comes to a camp like this, 15-20 pounds from now and with a little more experience develops into a better player than he already is.

Larry Sanders, C, VCU
Sanders, a raw prospect coming out of high school, has an incredible wingspan that helped him become one of the country's best shot blockers last season. In addition, he runs the floor like a guard and has great hands. But the most important thing that stood out to me was that has been well-coached by Anthony Grant, the former VCU and current Alabama coach. Everything he worked on in drills he implemented easily in the scrimmages. This rising junior has a great future.
