The 2006 NBA Draft is in late June, as usual, and this year's NBA draft prospects are more of a tossup -- especially at the top -- than in recent years. InsideHoops.com's NBA draft prospects ranking list, by position, below, will be updated again on June 10, 2006. They're done with NBA potential in mind.
