Who are these sources that declare the draft status of college players before they do? Between today and yesterday, two leaked information about the futures of Kentucky's freshman forward Julius Randle and Michigan's sophomore guard Nik Stauskas. Afterwards, both players denied on Twitter they'd made a decision, ESPN reported.

"Just wanted to reiterate that any reports about my future intenions are FALSE! I have NOT made ANY decisions on my future yet!" Stauskas wrote this morning.

"Idk who reported what but I haven't made up my mind about the draft yet. Haven't even talked to my family about it. So it's all false." Randle wrote yesterday.

What type of person is a source anyway? A coach? Teammate? Reporter? I suppose ESPN has to protect their inside men, thought it might be helpful if just one time a source came forward so we can better understand the relationship between he or she and the player on which they're reporting.

Given that both Stauskas and Randle are projected first round picks, the sources are probably correct -- whether by luck or through actual information. Randle is especially a lock to leave the college game. Not only has he put himself in top five range, but he has little left to prove at Kentucky after helping the Wildcats reach the championship game as an eight-seed. As well as he played in the tournament, he showed even more potential. I'm super high on him, and will reiterate my prediction that he'll become a better professional than both Zach Randolph (his most common comparison) and Joel Embiid.

NBAdraft.net's latest board has Randle going 5th and Stauskas 14th, or the last lottery spot. Stauskas' game is a little harder to predict than Randle's. The Canadian's not awesomely athletic or spectaculary strong for his 6-foot-5 frame. Usually, you have to be one of the two to truly flourish in the league. He does, of course, have the redeeming qualities of an excellent outside shot, a fiery competitiveness, and only the good effects associated with having no conscience.
