Top 10 NBA Draft Prospects

The NBA Playoffs have me very excited but with the Celtics on the outside looking in, there is a sense of disappointment. The only thing a C's fan has to be excited about right now is the NBA Draft. The Lottery, held on May 22, will determine where the Celtics will pick. They were the second worst team in 2006-07 so when the ping-pong balls drop two weeks from today, they will be picking anywhere from No. 1-No. 5. Preparing for the Draft, which will be held on June 28, I will list the players who I believe are the Top 10 prospects for the Draft. One disclaimer -- I will not list any foreign players because I have not seen them play. Foreign born players who may be lottery picks are Yi Jianlian from China and Tiago Splitter of Brazil. The Top 10, in reverse order... 10. Al Thornton, PF, Florida State 9. Al Horford, PF, Florida 8. Jeff Green, F, Georgetown 7. Mike Conley Jr., PG, Ohio State 6. Joakim Noah, PF, Florida 5. Julian Wright, SF, Kansas 4. Corey Brewer, SF, Florida 3. Brandon Wright, F, North Carolina 2. Kevin Durant, F, Texas 1. Greg Oden, C, Ohio State
