Mejia: 2011 NBA Draft Top 10 point guard prospects

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport
1. Kyrie Irving, Duke: Barely got into double-digits in games played at the NCAA level, but what he displayed before getting injured was enough to put him atop this list in the eyes of scouts, hands down. Not as superb an athlete as past top picks Derrick Rose and John Wall, but seemed more polished at that comparable stage of their careers.

2. Kemba Walker, UConn: Smaller than you would like him to be, but plays with a fearless swagger that certainly worked out for him this past year. Can he be special against pros, especially given the trend of seeking out bigger athletes to play this position? Given his range and propensity for coming through in the clutch, he's got a shot. Don't sleep on him.

3. Darius Morris, Michigan: His size and improvement throughout a sophomore season where he came into his own as a leader and playmaker were eye-opening. One of this draft's top sleepers.

4. Jimmer Fredette, BYU: You know him, you may not love him, but he's a guy who will carve out a niche in this league. His shooting talent is too great, his basketball instincts are too sound and he may wind up being a kid who actually becomes more efficient playing with better players.

5. Brandon Knight, Kentucky: Extremely intelligent kid who needs to become a better playmaker, but has a lot of interesting intangibles. Is probably going to go higher than he would've in a deeper draft, so it's of paramount importance that he go to a team that isn't planning on rushing his development with unnecessary pressure.

6. Charles Jenkins, Hofstra: One-man show at the CAA level has great size (6-3, 220) and was able to hang obscene scoring numbers against defenses geared to stop him. Queens native will have his combo guard skills picked apart, but he won't lack for confidence.

7. Nolan Smith, Duke: Carried the Blue Devils when Irving went down and has shown over the years that he'll do whatever it takes to be successful. Has NBA bloodlines and a glue guy on a good team written all over him.

8. Cory Joseph, Texas: Canadian one-and-done who should have stayed for at least another season with the Longhorns in an effort to improve his skills. Promising, but the fear is that he'll fall through the cracks given the long road ahead.

9. Reggie Jackson, Boston College: A consistently strong performer running the show at the ACC level, he's got to improve his jumper and continue to fill out to make a dent in the NBA and fulfill his goal of sneaking into the first round.

10. Norris Cole, Cleveland St.: Strong athlete put up eye-popping numbers in the Horizon League thanks to a motor that never stops, but probably too raw to excel at this level, even as a strong perimeter defender.
