2010 NBA Draft Early Entrant Review: The Losers

College basketball freshmen, sophomores and juniors that declared for the NBA draft had until May 8 to withdraw their names from the draft or stay in and forfeit their remaining college eligibility.  That date has come and gone, and we now have a clear picture of who is leaving and who is returning.  I will be breaking down the list and giving what I found interesting in four categories.  The four categories are the overlooked (lesser known players that entered the draft and won’t regret it), entry losers (players that entered the draft and will regret it), returning prospects (players that are going back to school and will be looking at the first round of next year’s draft), and college kids (players that threw their name into the draft, but shouldn’t have really considered it this year.)

I have divulged the overlooked, next up are the losers.  Before I begin, I would like to clarify that I don’t necessarily think all of these players will fail professionally, but they’re all players that were either losers in the draft process and/or should’ve stayed in school for at least another year.  For example, I think Willie Warren will succeed in the NBA, but he would’ve been put with this group because he’s entering the draft with his lowest possible stock.  Here are the entry losers:

I’m going to be skipping the obvious players like John Wall, Evan Turner, etc. and instead focus on the early entrants who will fall in the mid first-mid second range.  Without further ado, here are the entry winners.
