Andy Katz of ESPN.com has compiled a list of players that NBA decision makers think will return to play in college, and a list of players that will stay in the draft.

DeAndre Liggins is on the list of players that will come back.
Brandon Knight and Terrence Jones are on the list of players that will probably stay in the draft.
