Ranking the top 5 small forward prospects expected to enter the 2019 NBA Draft

The 2019 NBA Draft is inching closer and closer as the NCAA Tournament is roughly a week and a half away from getting into full swing, The week we will see the majority of college basketball conference tournaments, followed by the start of March Madness next week.

It should be an exciting time as the tournament always produces big moments and memorable games. It’s also an important time for NBA prospects as this is the last time they will play until the NBA combine (which is mostly just a glorified practice) or NBA Summer League (but, by that time, they’re already drafted.

In short, the NCAA Tournament is really important for each of the NBA prospects.

Particularly, the small forward position is deep this year as there should be a lot of first round selections of players who could play that position in the NBA. As with most rankings, this does not take in consideration about draft position and is a ranking based on the five best small forward options in the 2019 NBA Draft.
