What they're saying:
ESPN.com
“Greene is a long, athletic forward who can play both inside and out. He had a very strong start to the season before hitting the wall in the second half. Teams love his talent, but he's still raw and finding a position. He could go anywhere from the late lottery to mid-first round.”

CBSSports.com
"In terms of potential, Greene is a lottery pick."

RealGM
"Like Beasley, Greene is a 6-9 combo forward with an excellent inside/outside game. He is a very powerful dunker who attacks the rim, but also shoots the 3-point shot well. Because he does shoot the 3-pointer well, he tends to gluttonously fall in love with the shot and force too many very bad attempts. His poor shot selection directly causes his poor shot percentage."

Collegehoops.net
"There aren’t too many guys with Donte’ Greene’s size, athleticism and shooting range so NBA teams will be intrigued by him. But his draft stock is all over the board and he could use at least another year in college to get his body ready for the pros and to improve his consistency."

NBADraft.net
"A long and versatile player that possesses tremendous perimeter skills … An athletic specimen with enormous potential … Deadly out of the triple threat, where he utilizes jabs and pump fakes to attack the opposition … A shot maker with the ability to convert on a variety of acrobatic and off-balance shots … His skill, athleticism and size make him a difficult match up."

"Big, smooth, athletic combo forward with a very high skill level, particularly facing the basket. A terrific perimeter shooter who can get his shot effectively in a multitude of ways. Excellent coming off screens or pulling up off the dribble. Can put the ball down and operate in the mid-range area, and as shown sparks of potential with his back to the basket as well. Shot-selection can be poor – falls in love with the 3-point shot excessively. Needs to improve his ball-handling skills. A poor defender who still needs to learn the nuances of the game. A project, but with great upside."
