Brandon Jennings and Tyreke Evans Could be One and Done

Here's the latest update on two of my favorite High-School ballers that I have been following here at Hip2DaGame, via ESPN and some other possible one and dones from Scouts, Inc:

There is some consensus. Memphis-bound Tyreke Evans and Arizona-bound Brandon Jennings are names that cross most people's lips when they are asked to name obvious one-and-dones from the class of 2008. Certainly, there is little reason to think the two will stick around. When he announced his college choice, Evans intimated he will bolt after a season. And as much as Jennings' talent will factor in the decision, the unsettled mess that currently is Arizona basketball might make the choppy waters of the NBA seem like a calm bay.

One-and-dones from the class of 2008?

The class of 2008 doesn't possess the star power of the class of 2007, which featured elite talents like Michael Beasley, O.J. Mayo and Derrick Rose. Still, the 2008 group does have a few high-level prospects who might make the jump to the NBA after their first year of college basketball.

• Demar DeRozan, G, USC

DeRozan is a 6-foot-6 Vince Carter clone out of Compton, Calif. He has the most upside of any wing-type coming out of the West since Paul Pierce. He is rough around the edges in terms of his handle and savvy, but he's the most explosive prospect in the '08 class.

• Brandon Jennings, G, Arizona

Jennings is a 6-2 lead guard in the mold of Allen Iverson. He can score in a variety of ways and makes spectacular passes. He has a slight frame, and his decision-making is erratic at times.

• Greg Monroe, PF, Georgetown

Monroe is reminiscent of Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom. He is the most NBA-ready because of his skill and savvy. But at times, his lackluster effort is troublesome.

• B.J. Mullens, C, Ohio State

A versatile 7-footer out of Canal Winchester, Ohio, Mullens is the most promising big man to come out of high school since Greg Oden. He has a massive frame and soft hands and runs well. Still, he doesn't dominate as much as he should on a consistent basis.
