1. Blake Griffin
2. Demar DeRozan
3. Hasheem Thabeet
4. James Harden
5. BJ Mullens
6. Earl Clark - has great length for a SF and has could really have an NBA body once he puts on more weight; extremely athletic and very high potential; could move into the top 5 if he shows a consistent outside game
7. Damion James - great rebounder for his position; ranking depends on how he responds to Texas' new lead guard AJ Abrams taking the reigns from DJ Augustin
8. Chase Budinger (pictured) - probably the most athletic player in the Pac-10 and also has terrific size for a SG; aggressive on offense but still plays in control; could have gone higher he had a year with Brandon Jennings
9. Brandon Jennings - made the smart move to go to Europe for the stiffer competition and money, especially if you compare it to sitting out a year, he would have contended with Darren Collison for First Team All Pac-10 if he had played in the NCAA's
10. Patrick Patterson - makes up for his 6-8 height with a 7-1 wingspan, has yet to show the ability to handle the ball or shoot from beyond 17 feet, has a tremendous motor and great hands, could go higher if he proves himself to be a legitimate threat around the perimeter
