Going or staying?
Going or staying?

Published: April 10, 2008

College players have until April 27 to declare for the NBA Draft. Here's a look at the players who've already done so and the players who are still thinking it over:

•Jerryd Bayless, G, Arizona: Not as heralded as other freshmen guards but likely a top 10 pick.

•Chase Budinger, G/F, Arizona*: Great shooting touch for a big body but is sometimes passive.

•Derrick Caracter, F, Louisville

•Earl Clark, F, Louisville

•Eric Gordon, G, Indiana: Struggled after wrist injury and coach departure; still has potential to be a star.

•Donte Greene, F, Syracuse*

•Richard Hendrix, F, Alabama*

•J.J. Hickson, F, North Carolina State*

•DeAndre Jordan, C, Texas A&M*

•Brook Lopez, C, Stanford: Not only the better of the Lopez twins but also the best center in the draft.

•Robin Lopez, C, Stanford

•JaVale McGee, F/C, Nevada

•Anthony Randolph, F, LSU*

•Marreese Speights, F/C, Florida*

•Ronald Steele, G, Alabama*

•Robert Vaden, G, Alabama-Birmingham*

•Terrence Williams, G/F, Louisville*

* Player has not hired an agent.

•Darrell Arthur, F, Kansas: Big-time performance in the national championship game could improve his stock.

•D.J. Augustin, G, Texas: Exposed by Derrick Rose in the Elite Eight. Then again, Rose could probably expose most point guards in the NBA.

•Michael Beasley, F, Kansas State: Wildcat phenom could be the No. 1 pick in the draft.

•Nick Calathes, G, Florida

•Mario Chalmers, G, Kansas: Another Jayhawk who did himself well in the national title game.

•Sherron Collins, G, Kansas: Um, yeah, who's going to suit up for the Jayhawks next year?

•Darren Collison, G, UCLA: Conflicting reports out of L.A. about his intentions, but everyone agrees the big, physical guard is a serious talent.

•Austin Daye, F, Gonzaga

•Chris Douglas-Roberts, F, Memphis: A strong performance in the NCAA Tournament could lead to a strong performance on draft night.

•Wayne Ellington, G, North Carolina

•Tyler Hansbrough, F, North Carolina: National player of the year is strong and powerful, but he struggled with Kansas' athletic ability in the Final Four.

•Gerald Henderson, G, Duke

•Josh Heytvelt, F, Gonzaga

•Kosta Koufos, C, Ohio State

•Ty Lawson, G, North Carolina

•Kevin Love, F/C, UCLA: Like Collison, there are conflicting reports about his NBA plans, but he has inside presence and outside range.

•Leo Lyons, F, Missouri

•Eric Maynor, G, Virginia Commonwealth

•O.J. Mayo, G, Southern Cal: Has anyone ever thought he was staying in college more than a year? Still, he could benefit from another season.

•Trent Plaisted, C, Brigham Young

•Scottie Reynolds, G, Villanova: One-time OU signee might be making another hasty exit.

•Tyrese Rice, G, Boston College

•John Riek, C, prep school

•Derrick Rose, G, Memphis: If Beasley doesn't go, Rose will be the No. 1 pick. Heck, even if Beasley does go, Rose still might leapfrog him.

•Brandon Rush, G, Kansas: Would've gone pro a year ago had he not torn his knee. Does that mean he's gone this time around?

•Tyler Smith, F, Tennessee

•Hasheem Thabeet, C, Connecticut

•Bill Walker, G/F, Kansas State

•Russell Westbrook, G, UCLA
