Espn Insider Free Preview breaks down which underclassmen stayed following the 5PM ET Monday deadline
Every underclassman in Insider's top 20 is in the draft: Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, O.J. Mayo, Jerryd Bayless, Anthony Randolph, Eric Gordon, Brook Lopez, D.J. Augustin, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, Darrell Arthur, Joe Alexander, Donte Greene, DeAndre Jordan, Marreese Speights, Kosta Koufos, JaVale McGee, Brandon Rush and Robin Lopez.
And a number of other underclassmen also are in for good, despite not being projected in the top 20 picks, including Bill Walker, Mario Chalmers, J.J. Hickson, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Ryan Anderson, Richard Hendrix, Trent Plaisted, Davon Jefferson, George Hill, Jamont Gordon and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.
Other underclassmen who decided to return to school include: Antonio Anderson, Josh Carter, Lee Cummard, Robert Dozier, Alonzo Gee, Danny Green, Lester Hudson, Stefon Jackson, Leo Lyons, Jerel McNeal, Jeremy Pargo, John Riek, Josh Shipp, Ronald Steele, Lorenzo Wade and Robert Vaden.
It also mentions that Gallinari stayed in the draft and that it may have been because of a top ten promise that his agent was seeking. NY has #6 and NJ has #10. I agree we are too high to give a promise at #3.
