More on the NorCal Wooden Award prospects

ESPN's Andy Katz offers more on the pre-season Wooden Award list -- the following are player descriptions gathered from various coaches:

    * Festus (Yuba College) Ezeli, 6-11, Sr., C, Vanderbilt

    "He might have the best chance at a long career of anyone in the league. He is older and a legit NBA center."

    * Drew (Archbishop Mitty) Gordon, 6-9, Sr., F, New Mexico

    "Drew Gordon is a force in the paint. He scores and blocks shots. But his rebounding numbers are what makes him attractive to the NBA scouts, and they are off the charts."

    * Orlando (Palma High) Johnson, 6-5, Sr., G, UC Santa Barbara

    "He's one of the most gifted offensive players I have ever coached against. He's extremely skilled with a killer instinct, and he makes big shots."

    * Reeves (Modesto Christian) Nelson, 6-8, Jr., F, UCLA

    "He is a throwback power forward who can finish around the hoop with either hand. Couple that with his rebounding prowess, and you have the makings of an All-Pac-12 first-teamer."
