The following is the final list of 49 college and high school players who have applied for early entry into the 2005 draft with commentary by CBS SportsLine.com senior writer Gregg Doyel.

Complete Early Entry list
Player School Year Pos. Wt. Ht.
Alex Acker Pepperdine Jr. G 190 6-5
Can do a little of everything ... but needs to do it better.
Deji Akindele Chicago State So. C 240 7-1
You can't teach 7-1.
Kelenna Azubuike Kentucky Jr. F 220 6-5
It's a mistake, but he's doing it for Dad.
Sean Banks Memphis So. F 210 6-8
Great skill, bad attitude, no chance.
Brandon Bass LSU So. F 246 6-8
Turns down chance at Final Four for chance at second round.
Jermaine Bell Indian Hills CC (Iowa) Fr. F 200 6-11
So THIS is what happened to the former St. John's signee.
Andray Blatche South Kent (Conn.) Prep School HS C 248 6-11
Not quite Dwight Howard ... but not Sagana Diop, either.
Andrew Bogut Utah So. F 233 6-10
Is the real thing. Big man with wing's skills.
Curtis Brown Jr. Beach High (Ga.) HS F 6-9
Your comment here.
Andrew Bynum St. Joseph's High HS C 300 7-0
Jumbo-sized prepster is better prospect than Randolph Morris.
Ike Diogu Arizona State Jr. F 250 6-8
Not sure he'll go first round -- but he should.
Monta Ellis Jackson Lanier (Miss.) HS G 160 6-3
Whatever happened to DeShawn Stevenson, anyway?
Olu Famutimi Arkansas So. G 212 6-5
Athletic ability galore. Too bad he can't, you know, shoot.
Raymond Felton North Carolina Jr. G 200 6-1
Will be a wonderful NBA point guard.
Anderson Ferreira Chippola JC (Fla.) So. F 6-8
Someday he'll tell his kids he entered the NBA Draft.
Francisco Garcia Louisville Jr. G 185 6-7
Man among boys in college, but he needs a better jumper.
John Gilchrist Maryland Jr. G 201 6-2
He's tired of being in school. Could be a journeyman.
Gerald Green Houston Gulf Shores Academy HS G 195 6-8
Better prospect than J.R. Smith was a year ago.
Jarrett Jack Georgia Tech Jr. G 202 6-3
Big, strong point guard. He's ready.
Amir Johnson Westchester High (Calif.) HS F 215 6-10
Will stay in draft only if he doesn't qualify for Louisville.
Dwayne Jones St. Joseph's Jr. C 250 6-11
Can't score, but the NBA likes rebounders, shot-blockers.
Linas Kleiza Missouri So. F 245 6-8
Can make a lot of money, either here or in Lithuania.
Julius Lamptey Garden City CC (Kansas) Fr. C 270 7-0
Can't qualify for D-1, so why not?
Darshan Luckey St. Francis (Pa.) Jr. G 185 6-5
He'll be lucky if he's drafted in the second round.
Kyle Luckett South Side (Ind.) HS F 230 7-0
I'm sure his mother has heard of him.
Sean May North Carolina Jr. F 266 6-9
Great low-post scorer, but who will he defend?
Rashad McCants North Carolina Jr. G 207 6-4
Explosive scorer, a step above Joseph Forte.
C.J. Miles Skyline High (Texas) HS G 210 6-6
Tragic move for a kid with tons of potential in a few years.
J.R. Morris Seton Hall Jr. G 206 6-5
You're joking, right?
Randolph Morris Kentucky Fr. C 265 6-11
Big body, no skills. Someone will gamble.
Chris Paul Wake Forest So. G 175 6-0
An NBA star, if he can handle the pounding.
Pierre Pierce Iowa Jr. G 195 6-4
Big, intriguing point guard possibly headed to San ... Quentin.
Shavlik Randolph Duke Jr. F 240 6-10
Big and skilled, but he did nothing in college.
Anthony Roberson Florida Jr. G 180 6-1
A 6-1 shooting guard? Bad decision.
Nate Robinson Washington Jr. G 170 5-9
Family commitments pushed him into league. He can make it.
Ray Rose Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) Jr. G 165 6-0
NBA scouts weren't flocking to Olivet Nazarene.
Ricky Sanchez IMG Academy (Fla.) HS F 205 6-11
He's tantalizing (a 6-11 wing!) but skinny, inexperienced.
Chris Taft Pittsburgh So. F 260 6-10
High ceiling, but mediocre sophomore year will scare some teams.
Charlie Villanueva UConn So. F 230 6-11
Might be a step slow. Might not. Worth the risk to come out.
Tiras Wade Louisiana Lafayette Jr. G 192 6-6
Slashing wing, average shooter.
Von Wafer Florida State So. G 210 6-5
I'm speechless.
Matt Walsh Florida Jr. G 205 6-6
Speechless, I tell you.
Martel Webster Seattle Preparatory School HS G 235 6-7
Great body, great shot, great attitude. Great prospect.
Deron Williams Illinois Jr. G 210 6-3
An NBA star, if he can make the jumper.
Louis Williams South Gwinnett (Ga.) HS G 180 6-2
Sebastian Telfair sans ball skills ... i.e., a second-rounder.
Marvin Williams North Carolina Fr. F 230 6-9
Future NBA All-Star does everything, and is nice to boot.
Kennedy Winston Alabama Jr. G 230 6-6
Big, strong guard will make some -- not a lot -- of $$$.
Antoine Wright Texas A&M Jr. F 195 6-7
Slippery and smooth, he's going to be a good pro.
Bracey Wright Indiana Jr. G 200 6-3
Small and one-dimensional, he won't be a good pro.
