Among the draft prospects Craig Luschenat worked with was DJ Wilson, Nigel Williams-Goss, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Jordan Mathews; while the active NBA players consisted of Emmanuel Mudiay and George Niang.

Then came in the small forwards and power forwards, who included Kyle Anderson, Kelly Olynyk, George Niang, and Luc Mbah a Moute.
