Awaka spent his final two collegiate seasons at Arizona after starting his career at Tennessee. He moved into a reserve role for the Wildcats this season, averaging 9.3 points and 9.1 rebounds, including 3.5 offensive boards, in 20.8 minutes per game off the bench. He finished third in the NCAA in total offensive rebounds and eighth in total rebounds. For his efforts, he was named Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year.
Despite only being a career 64.7% free throw shooter, he experimented with extending his range this season, shooting 5 of 12 from three. The 6’8″ big man was ranked 47th in Jeremy Wu’s big board for ESPN and 72nd in Sam Veceny’s draft guide for The Athletic, despite Veceny calling him the best rebounder in the draft class.
Sellers is a fifth-year senior who played for Providence after spending his previous two seasons with Central Florida, although he played only three games in 2024/25 due to a serious back injury in the preseason.
He averaged 18.3 points and 4.2 rebounds on .473/.429/.859 shooting splits this season, and is a career-high 39.2% shooter from deep. Sellers is known as a talented scorer, but has struggled at times to make an impact in other areas.
He is ranked 97th on Wu’s board and 79th in Veseni’s draft guide.
