The 2015 NBA Draft is fast approaching.

As we get ready for the big night Thursday, let's have some fun by considering the best of the Big Ten's draft-eligible players.

Who is most likely to win a dunk contest? The rebounding title? Score 30 points in a game next season?

See my answers below.

1. Most likely to win an NBA Dunk Contest: Sam Thompson, Ohio State

This guy is a human highlight film. Need proof? Just check out the video below.

2. Most likely to win an NBA rebounding title: Branden Dawson, Michigan State

Dawson is a rebounding machine. At just 6-6, he led the Big Ten in rebounding this past season, pulling down an eye-popping 9.1 boards per game.

3. Most likely to lock down Stephen Curry: Shannon Scott, Ohio State

This guy is a lock-down defender who often drew the assignment of shutting down opposing teams' best scorers.

4. Most likely to score 30 points in a game during his rookie season: Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin

The 2014-15 National Player of the Year scored 25-or-more points on 10 separate occasions during his college career, including a 43-point outburst against North Dakota in his junior season.

5. Most likely to win an NBA 3-point contest: Travis Trice, Michigan State

Trice shot lights-out during his senior season, especially at the end of the year. The sharp-shooting point guard hit 15 3-pointers in this year's NCAA Tournament.

6. Most likely to play in an NBA All-Star game in three years: D'Angelo Russell, Ohio State

The former Buckeye standout was an All-American in his freshman season and is expected to be a top-five selection in Thursday's NBA Draft. This guy is a future star.

7. Most likely to be on the cover of a GQ magazine: Sam Dekker, Wisconsin

To be on a magazine cover, you have to be well-known and care about your looks. Well, check out this feature.
