The NBA draft is all about last impressions. For most of the top players, an individual workout in the next two months can be the decisive factor between the lottery and the rest of the first round, somewhere in the second or not getting drafted. But the games at the senior-only draft camp in Portsmouth, Va., this weekend, or the few that are played at the all-inclusive Chicago pre-draft camp in June, won't carry as much weight as the games played on the biggest stage -- the NCAA Tournament.

From the Sweet 16 to the Final Four, seniors and underclassmen who are considering entering the draft stated their case for a draft position, whether they knew it or not.

	Juan Dixon led Maryland past Indiana in a dud of a Final Four.

The jury is out until June 26, but NBA scouts have already formed some strong opinions.

In the Final Four, according to the scouts, Maryland's Juan Dixon and sophomore Chris Wilcox, if he were to declare, helped themselves.

Dixon was considered a second-round pick to start the season, but his clutch shooting, 33 points against Kansas and 18 against Indiana and timely defense on his way to winning the Final Four Most Outstanding Player award pushed him into the first round. Wilcox was considered a first-round pick heading into the tournament, but his power game and near double-doubles in each Final Four game pushed him into the late-lottery realm.

Terps senior forward Lonny Baxter essentially remained the same. He's a likely second-round pick after scoring only four points against Kansas but then collecting 15 points and 14 boards against Indiana.

It's easy to knock Indiana's Jared Jeffries and assume the sophomore forward's stock dropped because he scored eight points in each of the two Final Four games. But scouts look more closely at his 24 points and 15 boards in the upset over Duke as a sign that he might be a lottery pick.

Kansas junior Drew Gooden, assuming he declares, remained the same in the eyes of the scouts. He's still a top-10 pick because of his versatility on the court. Gooden didn't lose his post moves, his ability to beat every other big man down the court or his 3-point shooting just because he scored "only" 15 points in the national semifinal loss to Maryland.

Oklahoma had one draft candidate, and senior forward Aaron McGhee helped his cause with a physical game and aggressiveness on the offensive glass, scoring 22 points before fouling out against Indiana. He entered the season off the radar screen but ends it as a likely second-round pick.

In the Elite Eight, Oregon's Fred Jones showed he has more to his game than dunks. He decided to pull out of Portsmouth because he's receiving the feeling from NBA teams that he's a possible first-round pick. One move showed a lot more of Jones' range than his dunking ability -- he drove to the basket and hit a mid-range, hanging scoop shot to beat Texas in the Sweet 16.

Kent State's Trevor Huffman made the move into the second round with his leadership and shooting touch, especially his 20 points and five assists in the win over Alabama in Round 2.

Assuming he declares, Connecticut sophomore Caron Butler was simply sensational, scoring from everywhere on the court, as evidenced by his 34 points against N.C. State and 32 against Maryland, to leap into the top five in the draft.

Missouri junior Kareem Rush was an iffy lottery pick before the tournament and left it in the same spot. He faces a tough decision on whether to enter the draft after he failed to lead his team in scoring in any of the four NCAA Tournament games.

In the Sweet 16, Illinois junior Frank Williams remained an enigma, not helping or hurting himself. He was a late-lottery prospect prior to the tournament and is back in the same spot. Williams scored 20 points against Creighton and 15 in a loss to Kansas. He's still the second-best guard behind Jason Williams, and there's no way he'll move ahead of him.

Speaking of Duke's Williams, he didn't help himself in the tournament but won't drop below No. 2. Williams is still the best overall player in the draft, regardless of his missed free throw against Indiana. Scouts still love his moxie, 3-point range and ability to get to the basket.

Mike Dunleavy, if he decides to go, is still in the lottery even though he wasn't as dominant in the NCAAs as he can be. He still hit three 3s against Indiana and is still one of the toughest matchups for a team because of his inside-out skills. Carlos Boozer might have dropped down in the first round by fouling out of the Notre Dame game, missing a gimmee against Indiana for the win and not looking as dominant as he did during the regular season.

UCLA's Dan Gadzuric had a chance to leap into the lottery after scoring 26 and grabbing 13 boards in the upset over Cincinnati. The 6-foot-11 center was more of a defensive pest with four blocks against Missouri, but he didn't score as well with 11 points on 11 fewer shots than he had against Cincinnati. Gadzuric probably evened out and is still somewhere outside of the lottery.

Kentucky's Tayshaun Prince is a thin power forward who'll try to play small forward in the NBA. He has the shooting down, and scouts love him for that. Regardless of what he did in the NCAAs, he shouldn't get pushed out of the Nos. 18-22 draft range. However, Keith Bogans' disappearing act throughout the season at Kentucky -- and his 29.7 percent shooting on 3-pointers -- may keep him in the second round or not drafted at all if he skips his senior season.
