Five NBA Draft prospects to watch during the first round of the NCAA Tournament. 

The month of March for most people is no different than any other. For NCAA basketball fans, it’s a time of celebration and excitement. March Madness is back once again and teams are looking to make a long run in the tournament.

Selection Sunday is in the books and the field of 68 teams is set. The beauty of the tournament is that so many teams have a chance to make it. That is why March Madness is so entertaining. A one-seed may have to battle harder than they have all season against a pesky 16-seed who is playing with nothing to lose.

With 68 different teams, a long list of talented players will want to leave a legacy at their school, but also improve their chances of being drafted to the NBA down the line. Future NBA stars always tend to make a name for themselves in March.

I’ll examine five different NBA Draft prospects to keep an eye on in the first round of March Madness.
