Kevin Durant

Texas

6-10

225

Fr.

Will be the No. 2 pick unless he can convince one of the GMs to take him first.

Corey Brewer

Florida

6-8

185

Jr.

For my money, the best player in the draft after Greg Oden and Kevin Durant. No weakness in his game; can score, shoot threes and play defense. I want the Sixers to take him, even though they have a million small forwards. His outstanding Final Four moved him into the Top 5.

Jeff Green

Georgetown

6-8

235

Jr.

A great, all-around player who has too many strengths to list. One concern: He refused to look for his own shot against Ohio State in the Final Four. That would scare me off.

Julian Wright

Kansas

6-8

225

So.

An intelligent player with a great game. I think he needs one more year at the collegiate level; must improve shooting and strength.

Thaddeus Young

Georgia Tech

6-8

217

Fr.

Averaged 14.4 ppg as a freshman. An incredible athlete who can score inside and outside. Needs to get bigger and improve his ball control. I'd like to see him play one more season at Georgia Tech.

Al Thornton

Florida State

6-8

220

Sr.

Extremely athletic. Quick. Great rebounder for a small forward. Defense and jump shooting are two weaknesses.

Derrick Byars

Vanderbilt

6-7

225

Sr.

A swingman who can handle the ball, shoot and play defense. Not an intelligent player. Takes too many ill-advised shots.

Alando Tucker

Wisconsin

6-5

210

Sr.

A great scorer who averaged at least 12 ppg all five years of college. A team player. Three-point shooting is a liability, as is his defense.

Jared Dudley

Boston College

6-7

225

Sr.

A smart, tough and competitive player any team could use. Shoots and passes well. His lacking athleticism and quickness will restrict him to the second round.

Dominic McGuire

Fresno State

Demetris Nichols

Syracuse

6-7

205

Sr.

A solid athlete who can shoot the 3-ball. Takes too many ill-advised shots, however. Must grow stronger and become a better passer.

Curtis Sumpter

Villanova

6-7

223

Sr.

Can shoot the three and rebound well for his size. Defense is an issue. The two ACL injuries he suffered at Villanova are even greater concerns.

James Gist*

Maryland

6-8

223

Jr.

An outstanding athlete who can play defense. Has severe problems scoring and is a bit small for the NBA.

Quinton Hosley

Fresno State

6-6

210

Sr.

Lacking offensive game. Defense should be better.

Reyshawn Terry

North Carolina

6-7

232

Sr.

Not a stereotypical senior; lacks focus and leadership. Scoring dropped from 14 to 9 ppg. Solid defender.
