Teams unfortunate enough to miss this year's playoffs can take some consolation in Thursday night's NBA draft. Those postseason absentees will hold a draft lottery ticket, good for one of the top picks.

This year's draft is known for the 1-2 punch of Memphis' Derrick Rose and Kansas State's Michael Beasley, but there are plenty of pro prospects to be found beyond the top pair.
