Who's in, who's out of 2013 draft?

College underclassmen and international players who don't turn 22 this year have until April 28 to declare themselves eligible. However, under the NCAA's deadline, underclassmen who want to retain their college eligibility have until April 16 to withdraw -- two days before the NBA's withdrawal date.

The NCAA's deadline, which was first instituted in 2011, drastically reduces the ability of college underclassmen to determine their draft stock. Still, 49 college players and 17 international players declared as early-entry candidates last year. Only 11 of them withdrew from the draft -- down quite a bit from previous years, when 50 or more underclassmen would return to school.

Here's the latest on where this year's NBA draft prospects stand:

IN THE DRAFT

Players who officially have declared for the 2013 NBA draft
(* - to preserve eligibility, player has not hired an agent)

Steven Adams, C, Fr., Pittsburgh
Adams told reporters after Pittsburgh's loss in the first round of the NCAA tournament that he had no intention of declaring for the draft. However, he reversed course and announced on April 2 that he's in the draft. It's an interesting decision. On one hand, he's a likely first-round pick. He has NBA size and toughness and is an improving defender. On the other hand, his offensive game is still a ways away and most scouts thought he'd return to Pittsburgh for another year to improve. The learning curve from New Zealand to the NCAA was steep for Adams. The curve from the NCAA to the NBA will be even steeper. Nevertheless, someone will take a chance on him somewhere in the second half of the first round.

C.J. Aiken, PF, Jr., St. Joseph's
Aiken is a very athletic forward who can jump out of the gym and excels as a shot-blocker. Scouts have had him on their radar for a while, but his lack of progress as a perimeter player has frustrated them. Aiken has the physical tools to be a strong 3, but he just doesn't have the offensive game. He's a likely second-round pick to undrafted.

Anthony Bennett, F, Fr., UNLV
Bennett had arguably the best season of any freshman in the country in 2012-13. His unique inside-outside game allowed him to dominate as an offensive player. Bennett has the body of an NBA power forward and can score in multiple ways in the paint. Though he's a bit undersized as a 4, his long wingspan and athletic ability allow him to compensate. He can also be effective as a wing. He has NBA 3-point range on his jumper and has a nice handle. He can sometimes be a lethargic defender and has had conditioning issues in the past, but most NBA scouts see Bennett as one of the few young players in the draft who can come in and compete right away. He should go somewhere from second to sixth in the lottery.

Vander Blue, G, Jr. Marquette
Blue had a breakout season as a junior, averaging 14.8 PPG. He is a terrific athlete who can guard multiple positions and exudes the sort of toughness we've come to expect from Marquette players. He's coming off a strong NCAA tournament run that helped carry Marquette to the Elite Eight. However, he still lacks a consistent perimeter jumper and is considered undersized for a 2-guard. Most likely, he's a second-round pick. But some scouts project him as a big point guard, so there's a chance he sneaks into the first round.

Lorenzo Brown, PG, Jr., NC State
Brown inspires a bit of a love/hate relationship among NBA scouts. He has great size for his position, is a good athlete and averaged more than seven assists this season. At times he can play like an obvious first-round pick. But his lack of consistency on the floor and his poor shooting percentages, combined with back-to-back disappointing seasons for his team give scouts pause. NBA teams want their point guards to be able to lead, and for whatever reason, the Wolfpack haven't been able to string together a dominant season despite having plenty of NBA talent on the floor.

Reggie Bullock, G/F, Jr., North Carolina
It took a couple of years, but Bullock really started to live up to his promise as a junior, averaging 14 ppg and shooing nearly 44 percent from three. He also proved to be a good rebounder, averaging 1.3 steals per game. Hed had an impressive 2.35:1 assist -to-turnover ratio. He's a first-round bubble guy right now but teams looking for a shooter might take him higher.

Trey Burke, PG, So., Michigan
Burke seriously flirted with entering the draft last year but ultimately decided to come back to school after being projected as a second-round pick. What a great decision. He led his team to the NCAA championship game, won the Naismith player of the year award and pushed his draft stock from bubble first-rounder to top-10 pick. Although Burke doesn't have great size or the athleticism of some of the other elite point guards in the NBA, he has an incredible basketball IQ, can really shoot, rarely turns the ball over and makes those around him better. He should go somewhere in the top seven and will be the first or second point guard off the board.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, SG, So., Georgia
Caldwell-Pope has been moving up the draft boards since the season ended, which is when scouts go back and relook at tape. They've seen a lot to like in the Georgia sophomore. Caldwell-Pope played on a team bereft of talent, but he still managed to score 18.5 points per game and shoot 37 percent from 3. He's a very good athlete, an excellent rebounder for a guard and isn't afraid to take over the game in the final moments. He could go anywhere from late lottery to mid-first round.

Michael Carter-Williams, PG, So., Syracuse
The biggest question for NBA scouts with Carter-Williams is which prospect is he? Is he the player who shined through much of November and December and again in the early rounds of the NCAA tournament as a 6-6 Shaun Livingston clone who saw the floor, had a tight handle and could use his length and speed to get to the basket? Or was he the Carter-Williams of Big East play and the Final Four who struggled mightily with his jump shot and costly turnovers? Right now, they are splitting things down the middle and calling him a likely late lottery pick. The talent is there and NBA teams love big point guards, but he has to work on that jump shot.

Adrien Coleman, G, Jr., Bethune-Cookman
Unlikely to be drafted.

Allen Crabbe, SG, Jr., Cal
When Crabbe gets it going he's one of the best shooters in the country. He has unlimited range on his jumper and can really let it fly. Unfortunately he doesn't always have it going and can appear disinterested at times, especially on defense. Combine that with just average athleticism and Crabbe is more of a late first-round prospect.

DeWayne Dedmon, C, Jr., USC
Dedmon transferred to USC two seasons ago amid hype that he'd be a potential first-round pick based on his size and athletic ability. Two years at USC haven't, however, made him a particularly more effective basketball player. He's a solid rebounder and shot-blocker, but woefully behind offensively. He turns 24 in August. Will NBA teams be willing to gamble on a 24-year-old who is still learning the game? A potential second-round pick.

Gorgui Dieng, C, Jr., Louisville
Dieng has been hanging around the top 30 all year, but his performance in the NCAA title game against Michigan might have elevated his stock. The knock on Dieng is that he is a 23-year-old junior and doesn't have a lot of upside. However, he probably could play backup minutes in the NBA right now. He is a good shot-blocker and rebounder, has proved to be a very good passer from the high post and has shown he can knock down a few shots when needed. He might not be a superstar, but he could end up having a long career in the NBA. He's a likely mid- to late first-round pick.

Jamaal Franklin, SG, Jr., San Diego State
Franklin does it all -- he was the only Division I player to lead his team in scoring (17.0 PPG), rebounding (9.5 RPG), assists (3.3 APG) and steals (1.6 SPG). He is one of the best athletes in the draft and is the best rebounding guard in the nation this season. He uses strength, length, explosive leaping ability and a terrific motor to get things done all over the floor. Although his jump shot is still a major work in progress, Franklin's toughness and do-it-all attitude made him one of the best wings in the country. Look for him to be a late lottery to mid-first-round pick.

Archie Goodwin, SG, Fr., Kentucky
Goodwin came into the season ranked as a potential lottery pick. He has great speed and is fearless taking it to the rack. Early in the season, Kentucky head coach John Calipari compared him to a young Russell Westbrook. But Goodwin's faults began to eclipse his strengths as the season wore on. His shot selection could be atrocious, his jump shot was flat and he struggled with toughness on both sides of the ball. He's now projected as a mid- to late first-round pick. The upside is there, but teams will have to be patient with him.

Tim Hardaway Jr., G/F, Jr., Michigan
Hardaway Jr. was the second-leading scorer on the second-best college team in the country this year. He has an NBA pedigree and NBA athleticism. And he can shoot the ball and get to the basket. So why do scouts still have him as a second-round pick? Because, while Hardaway is good at a lot of things, he isn't elite at any one thing. At the next level, that has proven to be a problem, particularly for guards. Look for him to be a probable second-round pick.

Grant Jerrett, PF, Fr., Arizona
Jerrett was ranked as one of the top-10 high school players in the country last year by ESPN, but he struggled as a freshman playing a supporting role off the bench. With several high-profile recruits coming to Arizona next year, Jerrett decided to cut bait. He intrigues NBA guys because of his ability to stretch the floor as a big. A potential second-round pick.

Christian Kabongo, G, So., New Mexico State
Unlikely to be drafted.

Myck Kabongo, PG, Fr., Texas
Kabongo had to sit out the first 23 games of the season because of an NCAA infraction, so his stock has taken a pretty devastating blow, going from a potential lottery pick to the first-round bubble. In the 11 games he did play, Kabongo drastically upped his scoring average, but his turnovers were up too. And his jump shot, which he supposedly was working on all year, just wasn't falling. Scouts are torn on Kabongo. Some still see the guy who was ranked as a potential top-10 pick out of high school. They believe that the situation at Texas was toxic and that he'd still be a lottery pick had he played elsewhere. Others think he's too small and was exposed in college. He could go anywhere from the middle of the first round to early in the second.

Shane Larkin, PG, So., Miami
Larkin wasn't heavily on scouts' radar until a stellar end to his sophomore year. Blessed with excellent athleticism, a strong handle and a very good jump shot, he clicks off just about everything a team would look for in their point guard. His lack of size and length are really the only two knocks against his game right now. He should be a mid-to late first-round pick.

Ricardo Ledo, G, Fr., Providence
Ledo sat out his freshman season and apparently isn't going to give the NCAA another shot to declare him ineligible. Ledo was ranked as the 21st-best high school prospect by ESPN last year and was considered by many scouts to be a potential first-rounder. He's an elite scorer who can hit shots from anywhere on the floor and some scouts project him as a point guard. But with no body of college work outside of the Friars' practice sessions, scouts are all over the place on his stock. He's a likely late first- to second-round pick.

Alex Len, C, So., Maryland
Len's season has really been up and down. He started it with a dominant game over Nerlens Noel, the No. 1 player on our Big Board, and ended it with a couple of strong games in the NIT. In between, he was all over the place. NBA teams love the size, mobility and offensive potential. Len is also a good rebounder and shot-blocker. The question is why was he so inconsistent? Was it the lack of great guard play at Maryland or does Len lack the aggressiveness and toughness that he needs to excel? Either way he's a likely top-10 pick.

C.J. Leslie, F, Jr., NC State
Leslie is an enigma to NBA scouts. Blessed with great length and athleticism, he has never quite been able to get over the hump with scouts despite putting up the solid numbers as a sophomore and a junior. He has been plagued with the idea of his upside and now that he's 21 and hasn't lived up to it, the bottom has started to fall out of his stock. After being ranked in our top 30 for much of his freshman, sophomore and junior years, he has slipped into the second round on our Big Board in the past few months. It's possible he could sneak back into the first, but he's more likely a second-rounder at this point.

Nurideen Lindsey, G, Rider
Lindsey has had quite the journey from juco to St. John's to Rider. A celebrated juco prospect who got major interest from the Knicks and several other NBA teams a few years ago, Lindsey has seen his stock crater in the past year and a half. He is blessed with great athleticism and quickness, but his lack of a jump shot, off-the-court issues and designation as a tweener, combined with a very rough year at Rider, mean he likely goes undrafted.

Amath M'Baye, SF, Jr., Oklahoma
M'Baye hasn't really been high on most scouting lists. He's a very thin small forward who lacks polish offensively. Right now he's more athlete than anything else. The fact that he's already 23 doesn't brighten the outlook that he'll ever be anything more. M'Baye holds a French passport so he doesn't have a lot to lose. He'll likely go undrafted but he should be picked up by a team in France.

Ray McCallum, PG, Jr., Detroit
McCallum was a blue-chip point guard prospect who decided to spurn the elite schools and instead play for his father at Detroit. After two so-so years, he really came on as a junior averaging 18.5 ppg, 5.1 rpg and 4.9 apg. He has NBA- level quickness, is a pure point guard who sees the floor well and can be a tenacious defender. His lack of a consistent jumper is his biggest knock. A late first- to mid second-round pick.

Ben McLemore, G/F, Fr., Kansas
McLemore is the purest jump shooter in the country. He's a likely top-three pick, and in some scenarios in our Lottery Mock Draft, we having him going No. 1 overall. McLemore is also an elite athlete and has the potential to be a great defender. What he lacks is confidence. At times he can disappear or overly defer to other players. For teams wanting a go-to scorer and an alpha dog, he might not be the right choice. But if he overcomes that, he could be an NBA All-Star someday.

Tony Mitchell, F, So., North Texas
Mitchell began the season in our top 10. He showed big-time promise as a freshman and scouts expected him to dominate given that he plays in the Sun Belt. Instead, Mitchell regressed. He is a terrific rebounder and a great athlete, but his lack of progress on the offensive end, combined with the Mean Green's terrible performance (12-20 this season), have hurt his draft stock. He likely goes somewhere in the 20-40 range.

Shabazz Muhammad, G/F, Fr., UCLA
Muhammad came into the year ranked as a top-three prospect and widely regarded as one of the two best incoming freshmen in the country. While he put up strong numbers as a freshman at UCLA, for the most part, NBA scouts were underwhelmed. He can clearly score and plays hard on every offensive possession. But Muhammad often played selfish, looked one-dimensional and didn't exert the defensive effort he could have. Given his lack of size for his position and just average athletic ability his stock has slid to mid to late lottery.

Nerlens Noel, C, Fr., Kentucky
Noel's season ended on Feb. 12 when he tore his left ACL. However, the injury has done little to hurt his draft stock. Noel has been atop our Big Board all year with the exception of a brief slip to No. 2 after the injury. He has great size and athletic ability, and he proved to be one of the hardest-working players at Kentucky this season. Although his offensive game is a work in progress, he has as much upside as anyone in the draft. We currently project him as the No. 1 player on our board and he goes No. 1 in most mock draft scenarios.

Victor Oladipo, SG, Jr., Indiana
Oladipo is the best perimeter defender in the country and an elite athlete who plays at a relentless pace. He's still a work in progress offensively, but he can guard three positions on the floor and is an elite finisher at the rim. His shooting has drastically improved, as have his ballhandling skills, but they'll need to continue to improve for Oladipo to be a scorer at the next level. Look for him to go somewhere from No. 3 to No. 8 in the draft.

Kelly Olynyk, C, Jr., Gonzaga
Olynyk went from redshirt to one of the most efficient big men in America this year. He is a skilled big man who can score facing up or with his back to the basket. His handle and agility for a big man are other standout qualities. While scouts worry a bit about his rebounding and toughness, many scouts see him as a unique, Pau Gasol-type player in the NBA. A potential lottery pick.

Norvel Pelle, PF, prep school
Pelle is a long, athletic power forward who was considered a big-time recruit by St. John's two years ago. But he never got his grades together and ended up toiling away in prep schools in the L.A. area. Now he's declaring for the draft and hoping someone falls in love with his raw athletic abilities and gives him time to develop in the D-League. He can rebound, block shots and explode off the floor. But his offensive game and basketball IQ are still works in progress. A potential second-round pick.

Otto Porter, F, So., Georgetown
Porter is the top-ranked small forward on our Big Board, and for good reason. While there isn't any one thing Porter does that wows you, he may be the most complete basketball player in the country. He can shoot, handle the ball, pass it and post up on offense. He has the ability to defend multiple positions, and he's a humble guy who puts winning ahead of his own stats. He can carry the team when he needs to, but doesn't need to touch the ball to be effective. He should be a top-5 pick on draft night.

Marshawn Powell, F, Jr., Arkansas
Powell is a long, athletic forward who spent the season trying to make the transition from an undersized power forward to a small forward. But the 23-year-old still lacks the offensive polish of a small forward and the size and strength of an NBA power forward. He's a potential second-round pick, but it's more likely that he goes undrafted.

Phil Pressey, PG, Jr., Missouri
Pressey is a quick point guard who, at times, can look like a lottery pick. He's fearless with the ball, but he's 5-foot-10, shoots only 32 percent from 3-point range and has a penchant for coming unglued in the final moments of close games with costly turnovers and poor shot selection. A potential second-round pick.

Andre Roberson, F, Jr., Colorado

Roberson is a rebounding machine and that alone may get him drafted in the first round. Unfortunately, his offense still hasn't caught up with his defense right now. A potential first- round to early second-round pick.

Joshua Simmons, G, Fr., Spartanburg Methodist (JC)
Unlikely to be drafted.

Trevis Simpson, G, Jr., North Carolina-Greensboro
Unlikely to be drafted.

Tony Snell, G/F, Jr., New Mexico
Snell drew a lot of NBA buzz with his terrific lights-out shooting performance in the Mountain West Conference tournament. When the long, athletic wing is on, he is easy to project as an NBA 2-guard. However, his jump shot has been inconsistent his whole career, as evidenced by his 1-for-6 on 3-point attempts in New Mexico's NCAA tournament loss against Harvard. He's a potential late first- to second-round pick if he stays in the draft.

Tahj Tate, G, So., Delaware State
Unlikely to be drafted.

John Taylor, G, Jr., Fresno Pacific
Unlikely to be drafted.

Adonis Thomas, F, So., Memphis
Thomas was considered a potential lottery pick coming out of high school, but an injury his freshman season combined with a lack of development during his sophomore campaign have caused his stock to plummet. Thomas has an NBA body and is a good athlete, but he's a tweener who doesn't have the size to play down low, nor has he developed the perimeter skills scouts are looking for. He's a second-round to undrafted prospect.

Deshaun Thomas, F, Jr., Ohio State
Thomas is an elite scorer who can do damage near the basket or on the perimeter. But he make scouts a little wary because of his lack of elite athletic ability, he's a tweener stuck between the 3 and the 4 and his indifference on the defensive end. He can put the ball in the bucket, but they'll want to see more than that if he's going to be a first-round prospect. He's a bubble first-rounder right now, in the 25-40 range.

B.J. Young, G, So., Arkansas
Young was poised to be a possible lottery pick at the start of the season. Teams loved his size, athleticism and scoring ability as a combo guard. However, Young struggled to live up to the promise of his freshman year. While his numbers are virtually identical across the board, his shooting percentages plummeted as a sophomore, and by the end of the season he was no longer in the starting lineup for Arkansas. Young is now considered a bubble first-rounder by scouts.

Cody Zeller, F/C, So., Indiana
Zeller began the season projected as a top-three pick. He is one of the two or three most skilled big men in the country, is exceptional leaking out on the fast break, has great hands and is difficult to contain when he catches the ball in the high post. However, Zeller's lack of length and strength have posed problems for him when paired up against long, physical, athletic big men. His lack of a great perimeter game also hinders his abilities somewhat. Scouts are a bit torn about what position he guards at the next level. He's likely a mid- to late-lottery pick.

OUT

Players who have officially announced they will return to college next year

Kyle Anderson, F, Fr., UCLA
Anderson is the most unique player in college basketball and one that baffles many scouts. He's a point power forward who can handle the ball, make electric passes and rebound the basketball. He lacks a great jump shot and is probably a below-average athlete, but for many he could be a Boris Diaw-like player in the NBA someday. Look for him to be mentioned as a possible first-round pick in 2014.

Isaiah Austin, PF, Fr., Baylor

Austin was considered a potential lottery pick coming out of high school and had a solid freshman season. However, scouts were worried about his lack of strength on the inside and his inconsistent jumper on the perimeter and labeled him a tweener. Another year at Baylor could help him hone his skills to the point that he returns back to a position in the lottery.

Deonte Burton, PG, Jr., Nevada
Burton has the length and athleticism to play in the NBA someday. He is quick and explosive, tough to keep out of the lane and a powerful finisher at the basket. However his lack of a consistent jump shot and questions about his ability to play point guard have kept him out of the first-round discussion. If he can improve his shooting and show more leadership on the floor, he has a chance to be a late first- to second-round pick in 2014.

Willie Cauley-Stein, C, Fr., Kentucky
Cauley-Stein wasn't ranked nearly as highly as the other three elite incoming Kentucky freshmen, but as the season wore on it became clear that he had enough talent to hang with all of them. He has the requisite size, length and athleticism to play in the NBA. And as the season wore on, you could see his basketball IQ starting to catch up with his physical attributes. Given all the talent he'll be surrounded with next season at Kentucky, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a top-10 pick in 2014.

C.J. Fair, F, Jr., Syracuse
Fair had a terrific season, during which he began to show NBA scouts a skill set at the small forward position. He's blessed with NBA length and athleticism. What he really needs is to continue to refine his shooting and ball-handling. Another strong year at Syracuse could propel him into the first round in 2014.

P.J. Hairston, SG, So., North Carolina
Hairston had a strong sophomore season in which he drastically improved his scoring (from 5.7 to 14.6 PPG) and shooting percentages (30.8 percent to 43.1). He also was, at times, the toughest player on the Tar Heels and thrived when he moved into the starting lineup for the last 14 games of the season. He was projected as a bubble first-round pick in 2013 and should, with improvement, be a solid first-round pick in 2014.

Gary Harris, SG, Fr., Michigan State
Harris is the second potential lottery pick to decide to return to school, following Marcus Smart, who opted to stay at Oklahoma State. Harris' biggest issue was a nagging shoulder injury that would've required surgery this summer. Assuming he gets everything cleaned up, he could be a lottery pick in 2014.

Marshall Henderson, G/F, Jr., Ole Miss
Henderson was a big-time scorer this year for Ole Miss. He has deep range on his jumper and is always looking for his shot. However his behavior on and off the court, when combined with an inefficient game, has soured scouts somewhat. Henderson is promising to come back more focused and more disciplined. He's a potential second-round pick in 2014.

Doug McDermott, F, Jr., Creighton
McDermott may be one of the most lethal scorers in college basketball, but he's struggled to catch fire with NBA scouts. His lack of a position at the next level and lack of elite athletic ability mean he generally projects as a second-round pick.

Mitch McGary, F/C, Fr., Michigan
McGary, the breakout star of the NCAA tournament, made a dramatic rise up our draft board the past few weeks. His decision to return, considering his age (he turns 21 before the draft) and high draft stock at the moment, is a puzzling one -- I'm not sure his draft stock will ever be higher. A potential first-round pick in 2014.

James Michael McAdoo, PF, So., North Carolina
McAdoo came into the season ranked as a potential top-10 pick. While his production dramatically increased with minutes, many NBA scouts weren't impressed. His athletic ability and quickness for his size aren't in question. But McAdoo, who played out of position much of the year, didn't seem to improve his basketball skills or IQ and was a turnover machine for the Tar Heels. If he can improve his skill set as a junior, he has the chance to be a lottery pick in 2014.

Eric Moreland, PF, Jr., Oregon State*
Moreland is a long, athletic big man who excels as a rebounder and shot-blocker. However, he's still very raw offensively and he needs to add another 20 to 30 pounds of muscle to his frame. He did declare for the draft but upon hearing his draft stock decided to return to school. Moreland is a potential second-rounder in 2014.

Le'Bryan Nash, G/F, So., Oklahoma State
Nash was an elite prospect coming out of high school but has struggled a bit in college. He improved as a sophomore thanks, in part, to the strong play of Marcus Smart. With much of the defensive attention focused on Smart, Nash was able to get bet better shots. But his lack of a consistent jumper has hurt his stock. Another year alongside Smart could help him get back into the first-round discussion.

Adreian Payne, PF, Jr., Michigan State

Payne had a breakout junior year, but was still a borderline first-round pick. If he can maintain his progress into his senior year he has the size and skills to be a lock for the first round in 2014.

Dwight Powell, F, Jr., Stanford
Powell announced that he'll be returning to Stanford for his senior season. Powell had a breakout junior year and would likely be a second-round pick if he declared for the draft. He has the physical abilities to work his way into the first round with a strong senior year.

Alex Poythress, F, Fr., Kentucky
Poythress announced that he is returning to Kentucky for his sophomore season. He was regarded as a potential top-10 pick at the start of the season. He has an NBA body, is an elite athlete and can score from anywhere on the floor. However, as the season continued, Poythress' weaknesses eclipsed the talent. Scouts worry about his lack of aggressiveness, his confidence and his tweener game that appears stuck between a power forward and a small forward. Another year at Kentucky, likely coming off the bench, gives him more time to polish his skills and improve his confidence. He has lottery talent, but the question will be whether he can tap into it next season.

Rodney Purvis, G, Fr., NC State
Purvis announced that he's transferring from NC State to UConn. At one point he was ranked as a bubble first-rounder, but a rocky freshman campaign convinced him that he needed to play in a different system. Per NCAA rules, he'll have to sit out the next season, so we'll see him again in 2014-15.

Glenn Robinson III, F, Fr., Michigan
Robinson was projected as late lottery pick based almost completely on his upside. He had a very good freshman year at Michigan, but no one was quite sure if he was ready for the NBA just yet. Another year of adding strength and continuing to improve his jump shot could make him a lottery pick in 2014.

Marcus Smart, G, Fr., Oklahoma State
Multiple media reports are saying that Smart is returning to Oklahoma State for his sophomore year. As we've reported multiple times, Smart was seriously considering this since OSU's ouster from the tournament. Still, the fact that Smart would turn down a top-3 pick is a pretty big surprise. However, Smart is a different sort of player who values winning and college very highly. He really wants to play in a Final Four and OSU has enough horsepower to make that happen next year. Assuming he continues to improve as a sophomore, I still think he's a top-5 pick in 2014.

Russ Smith, SG, Jr., Louisville
After telling people that Smith was going to declare for the draft, he eventually reversed course and decided to return to Louisville. While Smith had an excellent year and a great run in the tournament, few NBA GMs and scouts had him projected as a first-round pick. There was no need for Smith to leave school now to be a bubble second-rounder.

T.J. Warren, F, Fr., NC State
Warren had a very productive freshman season and is well-regarded among NBA scouts. With the whole NC State team coming apart (C.J. Leslie and Lorenzo Brown are going to the NBA, Rodney Purvis is transferring and Richard Howell is graduating), a lot will fall on his shoulders next year. He's a potential first-round pick in 2014.

C.J. Wilcox, SG, Jr., Washington
Wilcox had a breakout junior year and seriously flirted with declaring for the draft, but his draft status as a bubble first-rounder convinced him to return for his senior season. He's a very good athlete who can really shoot. However, his age (22) is working against him. A potential bubble first-rounder in 2014

Patric Young, F/C, Jr., Florida
