Right now Eddie Curry is becoming head and shoulders above the rest of the competition for the first pick of the draft. Jason Williams (who says he is staying at Duke next year) would be competition depending on who ended up with the first pick. Desagana Diop and Tyson Chandler should both be in the top ten if they declare, while Mings' stock has been dropping because of the Chinese governments reticence to discuss releasing him, and the fears that he might end up playing many of his best years in China... Eddie Griffin and Gerald Wallace both got a lot of coverage early in the year, but neither should come anywhere near the top 1-5 if they also declare. Expect Jamaal Tinsley to find his way into the top 10, and Battier may challenge for it as well... It is going to be hard to predict the draft order this early because of the uncertainty of what underclassmen and HSers are going to declare, and also because of the different needs of the prospective drafters... But right now it would be almost impossible for any team to pass on a prospect like Curry...
