(Arizona Wildcat) Rondae Hollis-Jefferson’s offense still needs some work. But his defensive skills are the reason why he could be selected in the middle of the first round of next month’s NBA draft.

“Right now, I’ll say I’m a couple steps ahead of my generation [on defense],” said Hollis-Jefferson, a 6-7 small forward.  “I’m playing chess out there and a lot of guys are playing checkers.”
