Colson is among the most unique players to come through college basketball in the last decade. He is a power forward that stands 6'5". However, he is the poster child for our theory about measuring prospects not by the top of their heads, but by their standing reach. While there is no official measurement yet of Colson's standing reach, his wingspan was measured at 6'11.5" in 2013. ...Colson can play as a traditional "four" in beast mode or he can stretch defenses with his 35% three-point shooting (career). ...He is a tremendous difference maker on defense. His long arms and high hoop IQ work in concert. Notre Dame was 14.2 points per 100 possessions better defensively with Colson on the floor. ...Colson has also improved as a decision maker but he finished his career with the Fighting Irish having slightly more turnovers than assists. Colson's free throw percentage for his career is 77%. ...Colson averaged 19.1 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.2 blocked shots per game this season. ...Colson was a member of Boston Amateur Basketball Club (BABC) AAU team for six years and won four AAU national championships with that program. ...Bonzie's father was a four-year starting center at the University of Rhode Island and one of the Rams' career shot block leaders. ...We are not certain that Colson will even be drafted. But he certainly should be!

Good Advice: In 2012, the 18th pick in the NBA Draft was Terrence Jones. We advised, "Draft Draymond Green."
