The NBA announced the 16 players that will be available to the media on Wednesday and also in the Green Room during the actual draft on Thursday.
- Joe Alexander (West Virginia) – Darrell Arthur (Kansas) – DJ Augustin (Texas) – Jerryd Bayless (Arizona) – Michael Beasley (Kansas State) – Danilo Gallinari (Italy) – Eric Gordon (Indiana) – DeAndre Jordan (Texas A&M) – Brook Lopez (Stanford) – Robin Lopez (Stanford) – Kevin Love (UCLA) – OJ Mayo (USC) – Anthony Randolph (LSU) – Derrick Rose (Memphis) – Brandon Rush (Kansas)) – Russell Westbrook (UCLA)
These are the players the NBA expects to be drafted early. There’s normally a green room watch to see who is the last to get out. I’m picking Robin Lopez. Other candidates Darrell Arthur and perhaps Randolph as an outside bet because he looks like he could land anywhere right now.
