Courtney Alexander	6-5	Sr.	Fresno State	Ability to fill it up puts the top scoring guard in the lottery.
Erick Barkley	6-1	Soph.	St. John's	Seems to be a lock for lottery because of experience at the position. But he's not a slam dunk ahead of Cleaves or Claxton.
Mateen Cleaves	6-2	Sr.	Michigan State	Any doubters should watch a tape of the national title game.
Marcus Fizer	6-8	Jr.	Iowa State	The multi-talented junior declared for a reason: to go in the top two.
DerMarr Johnson	6-9	Fr.	Cincinnati	Versatility, size at guard make him a must in the top 13.
Kenyon Martin	6-8	Sr.	Cincinnati	Injury aside, he's too dominant inside not to go in the first two picks.
Chris Mihm	7-0	Jr.	Texas	A sure-fire lottery pick. He'll go in the top five because of his size, soft hands and nimble feet.
Darius Miles	6-9	H.S.	East St. Louis, Ill.	Versatility and potential puts the St. John's signee in the lottery.
Mike Miller	6-8	Soph.	Florida	Miller can bank on the lottery because of his versatility.
Jerome Moiso	6-10	Soph.	UCLA	His athleticism around the post makes him a tantalizing pick.
Morris Peterson	6-6	Sr.	Michigan State	Proved he could score on his own this season and in the NCAA Tournament.
Joel Przybilla	7-0	Soph.	Minnesota	Lottery pick. Scouts love his size, shot-blocking and his "upside."
Stromile Swift	6-9	Soph.	LSU	Lottery lock. Hasn't retained an agent, so he still can pull out.

Chris Carrawell	6-6	Sr.	Duke	Has a legitimate shot of getting into the lottery because of his tenacity around the basket and versatility with the ball.
Craig Claxton	5-11	Sr.	Hofstra	Improved stock at Phoenix with his true playmaking skills. He could sneak into the lottery if several teams need point guards.
Jason Collier	7-0	Sr.	Georgia Tech	Not on the same level as Mihm, but he's close, and that keeps him in the first round.
Keyon Dooling	6-3	Soph.	Missouri	Has the skills to play point in the NBA, with his jump shot, size and speed.
Mark Karcher	6-5	Jr.	Temple	Good inside toughness and outside shot make him an intriguing pick.
Jamaal Magloire	6-11	Sr.	Kentucky	Improved play in the post makes him a first-round lock.
Desmond Mason	6-6	Sr.	Oklahoma St.	Leaping ability, activity and versatility put him smack in the middle of the first round.
Hanno Möttölä	6-9	Sr.	Utah	Versatile, coachable player who is still in first round despite injuries.
Mamadou N'diaye	7-0	Sr.	Auburn	Could sneak into lottery with good showing in workouts.
Olumide Oyediji	6-9		Nigeria	Should go in the first round after he impressed with 19 points and 13 rebounds in Hoop Summit game.
Quentin Richardson	6-6	Soph.	DePaul	Scoring, rebounding ability as a guard make him a lock in the first round.
JaRon Rush	6-5	Soph.	UCLA	Now that he's testing the process, is being a late first-rounder good enough for him?
DeShawn Stevenson	6-5	HS	Fresno (Washington Union), Calif.	Scouts love his athleticism on the perimeter and his potential. But he's still a suspect shooter, enough so that he could go late in the first or in the second.
Etan Thomas	6-9	Sr.	Syracuse	Shot-blocking, rebounding ability has him high on scouts' lists.
Iakovos Tsakalidis	7-1	--	Greece	He's big and foreign, which means he's a first-round pick.
Hidayet Turkoglu	6-8	--	Turkey	Versatility makes him a potential first-round pick.

Need to prove something

Brian Cardinal	6-8	Sr.	Purdue	He is what he is, and that's a banging forward who needs to play his way into the first round.
Schea Cotton	6-6	So.	Alabama	A slasher who needs to prove in Chicago camp that he can score at the NBA level. He'll get drafted for sure and could sneak into first round.
Jamal Crawford	6-6	Fr.	Michigan	Has the size and quickness to be an NBA point guard but needs to be in Chicago to prove he can shoot well enough to be a first-round pick.
Khalid El-Amin	5-10	Jr.	UConn	Scouts love leadership and toughness, but his weight and conditioning could push him into the second round.
A.J. Guyton	6-1	Sr.	Indiana	Scouts still question if he can play the point, but he's enough of a scorer that he could go in the middle to late first round, or fall to the second.
Donnell Harvey	6-8	Fr.	Florida	Power forward with decent rebounding skills but limitations offensively is a marginal first-round prospect.
Johnny Hemsley	6-5	Sr.	Miami (Fla.)	He can score, but ballhandling at the shooting guard and defense may push him to the second round.
Cory Hightower	6-8	Jr.	Indian Hills (Iowa) CC	Big-time scorer who could be a surprise first-round pick because of his athleticism and activity around the basket.
Eddie House	6-1	Sr.	Arizona St.	The point guard debate (can he play it or not) could push him to the second round.
Jason Kapono	6-6	Fr.	UCLA	Open-court shooter, but lack of quickness and defensively ability hurt his stock. Once limitations are exposed, he becomes a candidate to return to school.
Dan Langhi	6-11	Sr.	Vanderbilt	Status fluctuating after his inability to stand out in Phoenix. But he still has first-round potential.
Justin Love	6-2	Sr.	Saint Louis	Scouts loved his quickness and scoring mentality, but he's still a small shooting guard trying to play the point.
Mark Madsen	6-8	Sr.	Stanford	Rebounded and scored well in Phoenix. Works hard and may be a first-round pick. If he's not, he'll make a team because of his work ethic and ability to be coached.
Dan McClintock	7-0	Sr.	No. Arizona	A chance first-rounder if he finds a team that likes his size and ability to shoot from the perimeter. Has helped himself.
Pete Mickeal	6-6	Sr.	Cincinnati	An athletic, defensive specialist who could sneak into the first round with a strong showing in Chicago.
Scoonie Penn	5-10	Sr.	Ohio State	Phoenix pushed him behind Claxton but his leadership could keep him in the first round. But he'll go late.
Lavor Postell	6-6	Sr.	St. John's	He should be in the top 40 picks, but his size (more of a 6-4 guard) scares some scouts.
Michael Redd	6-6	Jr.	Ohio State	Borderline first-round pick. Decent scorer but has been streaky. Could be hurt by missing Chicago camp.
Jeryl Sasser	6-7	Jr.	SMU	Testing the draft process but could sneak into the first round because of his versatility at point and shooting guard. Rebounds like a forward.
Karim Shabazz	7-2	Jr.	Providence	Has the height to be a first-rounder, but not the skills. His best bet is to get beat up in Chicago and realize he's not ready for the NBA.
Jabari Smith	6-11	Sr.	LSU	Didn't stand out enough in Phoenix. But size still matters, and Smith has a chance to stay in first round.
