UConn combo guard Stephon Castle, Tennessee's Dalton Knecht and a backcourt duo from Kentucky are the headliners on the list of top guards in the upcoming NBA draft.

Castle was a touted freshman who helped the Huskies win a second straight NCAA title with his size and defensive potential.

Knecht scored in bunches as a veteran transfer.

The Wildcats have a final crop of one-and-done players from former coach John Calipari's tenure in Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham.

Serbian teenage point guard Nikola Topic is another top prospect at the position.
