I saw Dent in about 6-8 games this year. To me, he is a first round NBA draft pick this year, certainly better than McNeely, who is projected in the 12-15 range this year. Dent could certainly have a better more high profile year next year, and become a lottery draft pick, but if I were his agent, I would advise him to declare for the NBA this year.
Dent is a 6'2" (listed), 21-year-old PG who played in the Mountain West and isn't a high-volume 3-point shooter. Great college player.
McNeeley is a 6'7", 19-year-old wing who played in the Big East without a quality point guard. Definitely some questions about his athleticism, but he's an 87% free-throw shooter with a strong pre-college shooting background. There's a reason he's considered where he is as an NBA prospect.
