NBA betting players are invested in the playoffs right now, but it’s always good to keep an ear to the ground for the draft. Here are five players that could very well end up in the top 10 by the time June 24^th rolls around.

Xavier Henry, Kansas

Henry, a swingman, stayed just one year at Kansas and showed a maturity beyond his years, but in the Tournament, he proved that he could raise his game and may have been the best Jayhawk down the stretch. He still has to get bigger, though.

Patrick Patterson, Kentucky

Patterson is a smooth forward who can play either the three or four, and he was a good leader on a freshman-heavy Kentucky team. But tweeners can often have a tough time in the league, and he’ll need to end up in a good situation to be successful.

Ed Davis, North Carolina

Davis probably should have stayed another year after breaking his wrist, but he has incredible defensive instincts. He’s athletic and also left-handed, which can throw some players off. He’s slim like Chris Bosh, but Bosh put on weight in the pros, and Davis, who is only a sophomore, will too.

Greg Monroe, Georgetown

Monroe has top-five Northbet talent, and he’s an outstanding passer for a big man. But the knock on him is that he’s not aggressive enough for a player of his talent, and we don’t know if he has the intensity to get better. Think Michael Beasley.

Cole Aldrich, Kansas

Aldrich is a bonafide center, which makes up for his lack of athleticism. Like Davis, he has great defensive instincts, but he’ll have to develop a jumper in the pros. He could also stand to be more intense, but you could do a lot worse for your team’s sportsbook odds by drafting Aldrich.
