NBA Mock Draft: Ranking 11 best draft prospects in NCAA’s Sweet 16

NBA Mock Draft: Heading into the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16, we rank the 11-best draft prospects remaining. 

The opening round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament left quite an impression. While the headlines will revolve around the huge upsets that took place (which included a 16-seed beating a 1-seed and a 15-seed making it to the Sweet 16), for the NBA Draft gurus, there were certainly some big takeaways from the first handful of games last week.

Heading into the Sweet 16, all of that will be taken to the next level. The NBA Draft prospects that are still remaining in the Tournament will be under a bigger microscope with the added pressure of stakes.

Before this weekend’s games arrive, we rank the 11 best NBA Draft prospects that are still playing in the NCAA Tournament.

Ranking the 11 best NBA Draft prospects heading into the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament

1. Brandon Miller, Alabama

Heading into this weekend’s Sweet 16, there will be a lot of eyes squarely on Alabama freshman Brandon Miller as he looks to cement himself as one of the top two prospects heading into the 2023 NBA draft.

After somewhat of a slow start to this tournament, it’ll be interesting to see how Miller looks during the second weekend of the Tournament. After finishing with zero points on 0-5 shooting in the opening round, Miller bounced back nicely with a 19-point, seven-rebound showing in round two.

With Alabama eyeing a run toward the Final Four, it’ll be interesting to see how Miller handles the pressure to win this weekend.
