Which FAU, Miami players will we see someday in the NBA?

According to a Florida Atlantic University source, few college scouts descended upon the Boca Raton campus during the regular season.

Heat scout Bob McAdoo, the NBA Hall of Famer who lives in Boca Raton, attended about four FAU home games. But McAdoo has told confidants that he never ran into another NBA scout during his short trips to the campus off Glades Road.

In the myriad mock drafts projecting the two-round jamboree, no FAU player was listed despite the Owls making the Final Four.

The University of Miami, a more established program but also making its Final Four debut, had two players mentioned in a handful of the mocks as mid- to late-second-round selections — 6-foot-4 shooting guard Isaiah Wong and 6-7 small forward Jordan Miller.

Some of these mocks haven’t been updated since the NCAA Tournament began when players annually raise — or decrease — their stocks.

According to interviews with NBA scouts and ESPN’s college basketball draft guru, Seth Greenberg, four FAU players should at least consider entering the June draft and perform pre-draft workouts. But those interviewed cautioned the FAU Four should do so without signing an agent, giving them the option to return to Boca Raton.

Those prospects are FAU guards Johnell Davis and Alijah Martin, Russian 7-foot-1 center Vladislav Goldin and lefty point guard Nick Boyd.  Davis, Martin and Goldin are sophomores. Boyd is a redshirt freshman.

FAU, which faces San Diego State Saturday in the national semifinals in Houston, has never had a former player on an NBA regular-season roster.

As for the Hurricanes, those interviewed by The Palm Beach Post believe it’s a no-brainer for Wong and Miller to enter the draft. Wong put his name in last spring but returned to school. Also mentioned as future pro prospects from “The U’’ were guard Nijel Pack and power forward Norchad Omier.

NBA personnel men are not permitted to be quoted by name about a college player until he’s officially declared into the draft.

“They’ve been crucial for them in big situations in the NCAA Tournament,’’ one Eastern Conference personnel man said of FAU’s top guns. “That’s what you’re looking for as a scout. Guys who have (courage) in crucial situations and they’ve shown that.  You don’t get to the Final Four unless you got talent.”

A handful of scouts contacted said they didn’t yet have the full intel on FAU’s prospects but knew the Miami guys like the back of their hands. It wasn’t until the Conference USA tournament that scouts were in abundance to watch the Owls.

“We all need to watch them more but they’ve definitely put people on notice,’’ one Western Conference GM said.

While the Final Four is in Houston, South Florida is the mecca of college basketball this weekend. Here’s an NBA scouting breakdown on the gems from the Owls/Hurricanes.

Florida Atlantic

Johnell Davis most likely to end up in NBA

The 21-year-old sophomore from Gary, Indiana, may have the best chance of an NBA career and is likeliest to enter the draft. He could be a potential late second-rounder. Or Davis could sign with an NBA  summer-league team in Las Vegas as an undrafted free agent. There, he’d be in a position to earn a two-way contract with an NBA team, which pays half the league minimum of $1.1 million.

“The Davis kid just ain’t scared,’’ a Western Conference scout said. “He’s super confident. He’s going to play his way to a lot of workouts. He could end up getting a two-way or Exhibit 10 ($50,000 bonus to play for an NBA G League team). He probably falls out of draft but if he keeps balling like this, maybe somebody drafts him late, a team with multiple second-rounders."

Davis is averaging 13.2 points, six assists and eight rebounds. He scored 13 in the comeback win over Kansas State off relentless drives.

Greenberg thinks Davis has the best chance at an NBA career of the FAU players, but wouldn’t mind him coming back to play his junior year.

“Maybe he needs another year," Greenberg said. "The guy can score. He’s got great hands, has a middle game, shoots the 3 well enough. He creates space and has decent size at 6-4.

“I look at his game and I look at a guy who has a chance — a hybrid 3-level scorer though he doesn’t have a high level of playmaking ability. But he has a feel to score and has a pretty good body and long arms. Johnell has a shot.’’

He also might have the most motivation to enter the draft after a hardscrabble childhood in Gary. “That’s why he plays so well because he’s hungry,’’ the Western scout said. “He keeps coming and plays on both ends and is not  afraid of the moment."

Vladislav Goldin is an old-school center

As FAU broadcaster Frank Forte says, “You can’t teach 7-foot-1."

Goldin is an old-school, back-to-the-basket center — a dying breed. The 240-pound Russian big man was inconsistent early in the season — sometimes getting yanked early.

But Goldin was beastly at Madison Square Garden in wins over Tennessee and Kansas State. The Western scout said he wouldn’t be shocked if someone takes him late in the second round, seeking a player who isn’t a project. Goldin turns 22 in May.

“In Dayton, the kid offensive rebounded and just did all the little things," the Western scout said. “Then in the Elite Eight, I think he made himself some money."

Goldin scored 14 points with 13 rebounds in the Elite Eight win over Kansas State.

“Is he a two-way guy, does he go back overseas and make some money?" Greenberg said. “I loved his ball-screen defense in the Elite Eight. Can he be a Meyers Leonard, though he doesn’t shoot as well? He’s got good hands, good feet, very good screener. He’ll lay some wood on you. He’s an interesting one.’’

The Eastern scout poured cold water on Goldin’s NBA future because of his shooting, though he added:  “He’s not a 7-1 stiff."

“If you’re looking at the way the NBA game is played now, if you got a big guy and he can’t stretch the floor, he usually doesn’t play," the Eastern scout added.

Alijah Martin has shown 'big heart' for Owls

The 6-2 sophomore combo guard is averaging 13.1 points and 5.2 rebounds while shooting 43.3% — 37 from 3. He’s a slasher who can hit from deep and crushed Kansas State with 17 points.

“He’s rugged, he’s fearless," the Eastern scout said. “I watched the NCAA games — big shots in big moments. That’s what you look for as an NBA scout. He’s shown big heart for them. Both of those guys (Martin-Davis) have a good chance of making an NBA roster for the right team. I like both of their games."

Nick Boyd needs to return for more seasoning

The lefty point guard from upstate New York will probably have to come back for another year before he’s considered an NBA prospect. Boyd hit the game-winning layup with 2.3 seconds left over Memphis in the first round to get this NCAA dream ride rolling.

Greenberg would like to see the FAU Four return and make another run, believing their four wing players on the court together make “the whole better than the sum of their parts."

“They should go back to school if they have eligibility left," Greenberg said. “Why be in a rush to be a two-way player or be in the G League? Work toward your degree and be heroes on your campus and try to run it back."

Miami

Jordan Miller has played his way into second round

The 6-7 senior swingman likely played his way into the second round after his perfect 27-point game vs. Creighton in the Elite Eight — 7 of 7 from the field, 13 of 13 from the free-throw line. He could be among the oldest players drafted at 23.

“I love Jordan Miller," Greenberg said. “He reminds me a little of Dorian Finney Smith (of Dallas). He’s a Swiss Army knife with great hands, great handle, shoots well enough to keep you honest and is a terrific defender. He’s a slippery, sneaky offensive rebounder and has an iso game. He plays winning basketball."

Isaiah Wong 'not freaky athletic but athletic enough'

After a silent first half, the 6-4 junior was lethal in the second half vs. Creighton. The 22-year-old is averaging 16 points, 3.2 assists and 4.4 rebounds and looks ready after conducting NBA workouts last spring.

“He’s a three-level scorer," Greenberg said. “Got a great middle game and has a lot of Demar DeRozan in his game. He’s not freaky athletic but athletic enough."

Greenberg said Wong will have to improve his 3-point shooting to improve his chances of making the NBA.

The scouts also mentioned 6-foot undersized guard Pack (13.8 points, 38.2% 3-point shooter) and 6-7 sophomore Omier of Nicaragua as potential pros but they have holes and should return to school. Pack, 21, hasn’t shown he’s adept enough to be a true point guard, and Omier is an elite rebounder but without enough of an offensive arsenal.

NBA beauty is in the eye of the beholder and a lot can shift in Houston.

“The Nicaraguan kid is just a relentless rebounder and tough," the Western scout said of Omier.
