No particular order

Jan Vesely
Donatas Motiejunas
Enes Kanter - played mostly in Europe up until now
Milan Macvan
Antoine Diot
Kevin Seraphin
Tim Ohlbrecht
Elias Harris - played in Germany before coming to states
Jonas Valanciunas - probably 2012 draft
Tomas Satoransky - probably 2012 draft
Dejan Musli
Nikola Mirotic
Bojan Bogdanovic
Nicolo Melli
Paulao Prestes - might withdraw from this year's draft due to ankle injury
Mamadou Samb

Above players could be taken in the first round, some in the lottery.

Potential Second Rounders

Edwin Jackson
Pietro Aradori
Nikos Pappas
Josep Franch
Jeremy Tyler
Giorgi Shermadini
Martynas Gecevicius
Matias Nocedal
Nihad Djedovic
Mindaugas Kuzminskas
Mario Delas
Tomislav Zubcic
ect.

damn valanciunas and motiejunas stand at 6'11" and 7'0" so Lithuania is basically set on the pf/c positions.

seems too early topic though..

Zoran Dragič is gonna build up his value massively this season.. Early second rounder

Pietro Aradori, Paulo Prestes, Martynas Gecevicius, and Tim Olbrecht are in this year's draft. None of them are eligible for the 2011 draft.

There are some good players and future stars on this list. Personally I like Vesely. He's an aggressive player that surely can achieve big things in his career.

2010 Draft is taking a huge hit as far as international players go.

Now, Robin Benzing is pulling out of the draft. Add him to the list of players who could potentially go in the first round next year.

You should include also Philipp Neumann to the list, he's another big man prospect in the 92 generation. Probably a better prospect than Musli.

I know about Neumann but he's way too young. He needs 2-3 years with a top club in Euroleague or some other league outside of Germany. German league is near the bottom as far as competition goes.

Not it's not near the bottom. It's at the bottom.
The league is inflated by foreign scrubs.

ha ha yeah i'm pretty sure casey jacobsen was mvp of the german league a year or two ago

vesely is gonna be an excellent nba player, he has the althletics, skills, size and smarts to be very successful....at 6'11 he is big for a 3 and showed that he can do a decent job on nba 3's as he did a good job on josh childress in their euroleague semi final match

if he can improve his outside shooting and ball handling he could be really special....if he goes to a running team e.g phoenix with a good point guard e.g nash he will be a feature on sportcenter.

you just wrote the same thing in the nba draft forum.. we get it vesely is good.

Dont forget Anotoly Bose (Australian)

6'6 wing putting up good numbers at NSU, and very nearly declared this year.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/pr ... erId=37044

if improves again like most people tip he will, i think early 2nd round is a possibility.

Papas is a poor man VSpan, who is not even the half athlete that Span is. If you are looking for a prospect from Greece, Papanikolaou is the player to go.

no words about enes kanter? the guy that broke nowitzkis record? i dont know if he will be drafted in the top 5, but for sure he will be the hightest drafted turkish guy ever.

6`10, but more of a center than a PF, awesome rebounder, average athlete, has to work on his range and defense and he can be better than okur

Some players who should get mention.....

David Jelinek - DKV Joventut
Pere Tomas - DKV Joventut
Rafa Freire - CB Granada

Xavi Rabaseda - Fuenlabrada
Jayson Granger - Estudiantes
