10 Draft Prospects Who Won't Be Dancing

While the NCAA tournament will be flooded with NBA prospects, there will be a lot of potential draft picks like George and possibly Babbitt, North Carolina’s Ed Davis and Connecticut’s Stanley Robinson who won’t be invited to the Big Dance. With help from several NBA scouts, Yahoo! Sports has compiled a list of 10 of the top draft prospects who likely won’t be playing in March Madness.

1. Al-Farouq Aminu, Wake Forest, F, junior – What the scouts think: “A top-10 pick. He’s an athlete who can play small and power forward. … He’s a man who could definitely score.”

2. Derrick Favors, Georgia Tech, F/C, freshman – What the scouts think: “He’s definitely coming out and has no reason not to. He’s going to be a top-10 pick. He’s a low-post scorer.”

3. Ed Davis, North Carolina, F, sophomore – What the scouts think: “He’s a rebounder, shot-blocker … a lottery pick.”

4. Hassan Whiteside, Marshall, F/C, freshman – What the scouts think: “He’s a long shot-blocker, a Marcus Camby(notes)-type. He will likely go [between Nos.] 8-15 in the draft.”

5. Larry Sanders, Virginia Commonwealth, F/C, junior – What the scouts think: “He’s a raw shot-blocker. He will be a mid-to-late first-round pick.”

6. Luke Babbitt, Nevada, F, sophomore – What the scouts think: “He’s a tough player who can score in every way. Has a good feel for the game. He might be a mid-first-round pick.” Some scouts think Babbitt will end up returning to Nevada for his junior year.

7. Paul George, Fresno State, G/F, sophomore – What the scouts think: “He’s a scoring wing player with long arms. He has a low motor but is highly skilled. He’s a first-rounder, probably 18-30 range.”

8. Willie Warren, Oklahoma, G, sophomore – What the scouts think: “He’s a very good combo guard who’s out with an ankle injury. He had a much better freshman than sophomore season.”

9. Stanley Robinson, Connecticut, F, senior – What the scouts think: “He’s a super athlete who can make plays for you. Some people think he’s a lottery pick and some see him in the second round.”

10. Charles Garcia, Seattle, G/F, junior – What the scouts think: “He’s raw and unskilled, but has an NBA body. He can play point forward. He has the ability to put the ball on the floor. Average shot.”

Others to watch: Craig Brackins, Iowa State, F; Jerome Dyson, Connecticut, G; Kenneth Faried, Morehead State, F; Gani Lawal, Georgia Tech, F/C; Quincy Pondexter, Washington, F; Renardo Sidney, Mississippi State, F; Jarvis Varnado, Mississippi State, F/C; Terrico White, Ole Miss, G.
