With the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament tipping off this week, we range the top 15 NBA Draft prospects participating

The NCAA Tournament, on brand, didn’t disappoint through the first weekend of its festivities. From Zion Williamson’s highlight dunks to Ja Morant’s triple-double, there was a little of everything for the casual fan – both NBA and NCAA – to digest.

Heading into the second weekend of the Tournament, though, there is much more at stake – and not just for the teams participating. Yes, a National Championship is the goal for every team in the Tournament, but for NBA Draft prospects their lives can change with one dominating performance in the Tournament.

From Stephen Curry’s domination to memorable runs from the likes of Dwyane Wade Carmelo Anthony, back in their days, there’s no question that a prospect can spark a move up the boards (that could change their lives forever) with a great showing on NCAA’s biggest stage.

So as the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen gets underway, who are the NBA Draft prospects to keep an eye on? Here’s a bit of a cheat sheet as we rank the top 15 NBA Draft prospects slated to play in this weekend’s action.
