The ups and downs of the NCAA event should have a fundamental impact on how scouts view the trendy crop of Draft hopefuls.

 

The complete board looks incredibly fluid, with scouts’ self assurance in their rankings and predictions enormously low for this late in the year.

We count solely 5 prospects who seem like locks for the top 10. That means there is room for projected mid-to-late first-rounders to make strikes into the lottery.

 

Potential No. 1 standard choose Alex Sarr is additionally carried out in the NBL after dropping in the playoffs.
