The five best college players who were not selected in this year's NBA draft

Posted Jun 23, 2017
4. Kennedy Meeks, UNC: If rebounding is the skill that best translates from the college game to the NBA, then maybe Meeks should have been drafted. The UNC center grabbed 9.5 rebounds per game as a senior and upped that to 11.5 per game during the Tar Heels’ run to the national title. What likely hampered his chances were concerns about his defense and conditioning. (Yahoo! Sports)
