Just thinking this through after the All Big 10 teams were announced. Who could declare for the draft? Remember that there is no "testing the waters" anymore, so players have to make up their minds earlier.
D'Angelo Russell is a given.
Yogi could go if he could end up in the first round
Hammons has always intrigued scouts with his potential
Dekker would be a first round draft pick, but he has the chance to be The Man next year, and very few Bo players leave early
Petteway wouldn't be a first round pick, but he's not getting any younger and has probably hit his NCAA ceiling.
Caris Lavert would probably still be a first round pick even coming off of the injury, but I don't know that he'd risk it
Melo Trimble might be good enough
Justin Blackmon is a possibility, as is Jake Layman
There's always the chance for someone who isn't ready but has a ton of potential, like Troy Williams to go.
If I had to guess, I'd guess Russell, Petteway, Hammons and Dekker... more of a gut feeling than anything.
What does everyone else think?
