The New SLAM Fresh 50 - Class of 2009.....Shout out to main man Malik "Wayns' World" Wayns


1.Lance Stephenson
6-6
SG/SF
1
Lincoln (NY)
He's toned down the attitude, stepped up the team play, committed himself to defense and still gets buckets like no other in the class.
Kansas, St. John's, UCLA, USC, Europe?


2.John Wall
6-3
PG
2
Word of God (NC)
Wall's unparalled speed and explosiveness, along with his playmaking ability, make the Derrick Rose comparisons justified.
Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky, Memphis, Oregon, Oklahoma State


3.DeMarcus Cousins
6-10
C/PF
9
Leflore (AL)
The UAB commit still takes plays off here and there, but his physical prowess and skills for his size are unstoppable.
Alabama-Birmingham


4.Kenny Boynton
6-2
SG
3
American Heritage (FL)
An effortless scorer and terror on D, Boynton's winning ways are what really make him special.
Florida


5.Xavier Henry
6-6
SF
4
Putnam City (OK)
A powerful wing with great athleticism and outside-the-gym range, Henry can score anywhere, anytime.
Memphis


6.Renardo Sidney
6-9
PF/SF
5
Fairfax (CA)
Still unbelievably talented--he can handle and shoot like a guard, take over the boards and score inside whenever--Sidney can always be the best player on the court--when he wants to be.
UCLA, USC, Europe?


7.Derrick Favors
6-9
C/PF
6
South Atlanta (GA)
A dominant rebounder and intimidator on the defensive end, the powerful and athletic Favors' offense is slowly catching up to the other parts of his game.
Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, North Carolina State


8.Maalik Wayns
6-1
PG
10
Roman Catholic (PA)
The Villanova recruit's blend of distributing, scoring and defending makes him the best pure floor general in the country.
Villanova


9.Jordan Hamilton
6-7
SF
7
Dominguez (CA)
Able to score from all over the court, Hamilton's strength allows him to excel as a rebounder and his handle permits him to create his own shot whenever he wants.
Texas


10.Avery Bradley
6-3
SG
43
Findlay (NV)
Possibly the nation's top perimeter defender, the athletic wing is also an excellent scorer, whether slashing to the hole or hitting outside jumpers.
Texas
