| 1.
Greg Oden
|
7-0
|
C
| Ohio State
|  |
| The best big-man prospect to enter the draft since Tim Duncan. He's a lock to be the No. 1 pick as long as he stay healthy.
|
| 2.
Kevin Durant
|
6-10
|
SF
| Texas
| |
| He might be the most talented prospect in the draft. He has it all: size, athleticism and a beautiful jump shot. Right now he's the consensus No. 2 pick in the draft behind Greg Oden.
|
| 3.
Brandan Wright
|
6-10
|
PF
| North Carolina
| |
| On potential, he may be one of the top two or three proespects in the draft. So far he's living up to the promise.
|
| 4.
Joakim Noah
|
6-11
|
PF
| Florida
| |
| After an amazing run in the NCAA tournament last year, Noah's star has begun to tarnish a little. He hasn't improved the way scouts had hoped.
|
| 5.
Julian Wright
|
6-9
|
SF
| Kansas
| |
| Wright may be the most versatile player in the draft. He can guard and play four positions on the floor ... but he needs to develop a more consistent offensive game.
|
| 6.
Al Horford
|
6-9
|
PF
| Florida
| |
| Horford is a prototypical power forward with the strength, athleticism and size to play in the NBA right away.
|
| 7.
Chase Budinger
|
6-7
|
SG
| Arizona
| |
| Volleyball spiking two guard also has deep range on his jump shot and has already become the best player on the Arizona squad.
|
| 8.
Spencer Hawes
|
6-11
|
C
| Washington
| |
| Hawes is one of the best offensive big men in the country.
|
| 9.
Josh McRoberts
|
6-10
|
PF
| Duke
| |
| McRoberts would've been a high pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, as a freshman. His solid, but unspectacular start to the season, has him slipping a little.
|
| 10.
Hasheem Thabeet
|
7-3
|
C
| Connecticut
|  |
| If Mouhamed Saer Sene can go No. 10, so could this super-long UConn prospect.
