Every player in the draft has strengths and weaknesses. Even DraftExpress' most recent mock draft. You can see that some players have a lot of room to grow and some players are already very good, like Noah Vonleh, considered to be a potential Chris Bosh-type of player. This draft class is also very young - there are a couple of four year players, but the majority are one-and-done's.
So will these players' shooting get better? The numbers say yes. Who will be the next Spencer Hawes that develops a three-point shot after college? Now that's the question that GM's want to know. It will be very interesting to watch these players fit into systems around the league and learn to develop their shot.
