Underclassmen Declare for 2010 NBA Draft

Now that college basketball is done for this year, the coaching carousel is taking place along with underclassmen declaring for the NBA Draft even if they're not ready. This week several notable underclassmen declared for the Draft with the obvious Evan Turner and John Wall headlining this year's class. John Calapari has the toughest assignment as his entire starting lineup declared and will most likely be drafted in the 1st round. Here is my take on the underclassmen that has declared so far:

  •  Evan Turner - Unless the Jazz or Hornets, or Bulls land the top pick, he's a lock for #2
  • John Wall -  A lock for #1 unless Utah, Chicago, New Orleans draft 1st.
  • DeMarcus Cousins - Elton Brand clone is a lock for a top 5 pick.
  • Lance Stephenson - Born Ready needs another year in school but will be selected in round one.
  • Kole Aldrich - Big body, great rebounder = top 10 pick
  • Willie Warren - Undersized shooting guard will get drafted in the late 1st round or early 2nd round
  • Eric Bledsoe - Had a great tournament and has moved into a top ten slot
  • Daniel Orton - A star on another ball club but took a backseat to Cousins. Late 1st round pick
  • Patrick Patterson - Has gotten better each year and is a lock for a late 1st round pick
  • Avery Bradley - NOT READY....NEED TO STAY IN SCHOOL
  • Xavier Henry - NBA ready....1st round pick but a lock for 2011 top 5 pick had he returned to Lawrence
