Which prospects will rise?
It happens every year and never fails. There will be certain prospects that make a meteoric rise in NBA Draft boards, and some that take a fall. However, let’s talk about those that could rise over the next couple of weeks.
It’s tough to really predict which prospects will make a move up draft boards during the NCAA Tournament, but Ja Morant, who has already made waves in many draft circles, is a player to really watch. I’m not sure if he could overtake Zion Williamson as the unanimous No. 1 overall pick, but it could certainly become a discussion if Morant could lead Murray State deep into the tournament.
Keep an eye on De’Andre Hunter and Jarret Culver, two players that have risen over the last few weeks and could continue on the same path leading up to the NBA Draft. They are on teams that could have a deep run in the tournament, and will largely be fueled by how they perform in the spotlight.
