The NBA Draft is one of those rare events that will have an impact on both pro and college hoops. The annual forecast for teams at both levels hinges on perhaps the most important life decision a talented underclassman will ever make: whether or not to declare for the draft.

Sunday was this year’s deadline to declare; the official list for 2008 comes out May 1, but we already know who’s in and who’s out. The “in” crowd includes Michael Beasley of Kansas State and Derrick Rose of Memphis, the likely top two picks in the lottery. Those deciding to stay in school include Wooden Award winner Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina and Blake Griffin of Oklahoma.

The Tigers are also losing Chris Douglas-Roberts, Rose’s partner in the Memphis backcourt. Antonio Anderson and Robert Dozier have declared but haven’t signed up with an agent, which means they can (and probably will return). Memphis will at least be competitive next season.
