Some teams are already Rigging for Wiggins.

My take on the top five:

1. Andrew Wiggins
2. Jabari Parker
3. Julius Randle
4. Dante Exum
5. Marcus Smart
 
Marcus Smart has impressed this week. Last night, his 30 points against Purdue got him much more hype. Smart could even be top 3 next year.
 
Looking at the big boards as we close out 2013, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan St. and Louisville it seems will be well represented by their current players.
 
Exum is playing this week in Australia and Bleacher Report and NBA scouts have people filming his play. Working a lot on three-point shooting at the Australian Institute of Sports and has hit 12-32 over three games. Said he will make NBA/college decision by February
 
With DUKE being upstaged early in the big dance, Jabari Parker is at a crossroads whether to declare by the end of this March or go for his sophomore year that will give him teammates like Tyus Jones.
 
He lost some positions in the draft solely since majority will start questioning the same questions as soon as his name will pop-up over and over again, one of those legitimate questions being: even as sophomore, wouldn't that extra talent mean you're supposed to pull the wagon over considerably less talented bunch of seniors? Considering his physique is supposed to be one of the strong points in his game, I think he should.

Another good question I've read on twitter was teams wondering: if Jabari is considered a liability against Mercer in 4th, what exactly does that makes him in the NBA?

To add it up, just as Tskitishvilli ended that euro-prospect madness, Anthony Bennet might slow down the raw-upside freshman euphoria as well.

He has good tools though, just that another year in college is definately better than playing sth. like 100 fractured minutes in an NBA season.
 
I think that Jabari Parker will declare this year as his case is following the pathology of Kyrie Irving. But as you said, a lot of prospects who were drafted raw had a hard time adjusting to the NBA Level, with some exceptions who were gifted and excelled.
