The 2012-13 college basketball season is underway, which means attention to the 2013 NBA Draft is already being paid.

ESPN's Chad Ford has Cody Zeller, Nerlens Noel, Shabazz Muhammad, Alex Len and James Michael McAdoo in his top-5 in no particular order.

Jonathan Givony of Draft Express has Muhammad, Noel, Zeller, Rudy Gobert of Cholet and McAdoo in his current mock draft. Len is currently slotted 14th.

"Only player that I've made some major revisions on is Alex Len of Maryland," said Ford. "Just think he took a major leap over the summer and at 7-1 with his skill set, he's going to be a Top 5 pick. Reminds me a little bit of a young Ilgauskas."

Alex Len had 23 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in Maryland's 69-72 loss to Kentucky.

"Huge game for Maryland's Alex Len," wrote Chad Ford. "Outplayed Nerlens Noel. Scouts abuzz. If he plays like that all season-Top 5 pick."

Len is 7-foot-1 center from the Ukraine that averaged 6.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game last season as a freshman.

Dez Wells has been ruled eligible for the 12-13 season with Maryland.

Wells transfered from Xavier after getting expelled following sexual assault allegations that were dismissed.

Wells was the Atlantic 10 rookie of the year, averaging 9.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.

“We’re excited for Dez because at the end of the day, the NCAA made the right decision,” Coach Mark Turgeon said in a statement. “Our staff did an incredible job in putting this NCAA waiver appeal together on Dez’s behalf. Dez has been a welcomed addition, a great teammate, and has made a seamless transition in getting acclimated to our campus. This has been a long process for him and his family, and we’re grateful he can put it behind him and focus on being a student-athlete at the University of Maryland.”
