The 2010 NBA Draft could be loaded with talent if the underclassmen declare, or extremely weak if the youngsters stay in school. Here's an updated list of top prospects for 2010:
1 John Wall PG
2 Donatas Motiejunas PF
3 Derrick Favors PF
4 John Henson PF (pictured to the right)
5 Greg Monroe PF/C
6 Willie Warren G
6 Cole Aldrich C
7 Ed Davis PF
8 Avery Bradley PG
9 Craig Brackens PF
10 Xavier Henry SG
11 DeMarcus Cousins PF
12 Al-Farouq Aminu F
13 Devin Ebanks SF
14 Larry Sanders PF
15 Kemba Walker PG
The Freshman Class holds the key. John Wall looks like the clear cut number 1 pick. But the rest of the lottery could be full of one and done players including Favors, Henson, Bradley and Henry. A few of these names would be in the NBA right now if not for the NBA's age limits but this one year of school will be good for them.
Henson will have some time to develop his body to go along with his advanced game (think of a bigger Lamar Odom). Favors will gain an understanding of the right way to play b-ball going against the likes of UNC and Duke. Bradley will still be the best athlete on the floor but will be forced to develop his game in the tough Big 12. And Henry should step in and shine for the Jayhawks.
These underclassmen should bring lots of excitement to college ball and if they declare for the 2010 draft the teams picking in the lottery will be excited as well.
