2024 NCAA Tournament: 68 NBA Draft Prospects to Watch
The NCAA Tournament is finally here, as 68 of the best college teams in the country will participate in one of the most exciting events in all of sports.
The next few weeks during March Madness will be a significant opportunity for prospects to showcase their talent on the biggest stage ahead of the 2024 NBA Draft. When it comes to talent evaluation, shining in this type of setting can have a major impact on draft stock.
Every season there’s always a handful of players who either make a name for themselves or overall rise up boards with a productive stint of action.
This season, many of the top projected draft picks won’t be playing in the NCAA Tournament. Not only is this a class loaded with talented players who didn't take the traditional college route — like Alex Sarr (INTL), Zaccharie Risacher (INTL), Nikola Topic (INTL), Ron Holland (G League and Matas Buzelis (G League) — but even prospects like Isaiah Collier (USC), Devin Carter (Providence), Kel'el Ware (Indiana), Jaylon Tyson (Cal), Kyshawn George (Miami), Adem Bona (UCLA), Hunter Sallis (Wake Forest) and others played at schools that missed the 68-team cut.
During the upcoming tournament, there will be over 100 different players with legitimate NBA talent who will compete on the big stage. With that in mind, picking out the most intriguing is a difficult task.
Since there are 68 teams taking place in the event, here’s a look at 68 of the best 2024 NBA Draft prospects who will be showcasing their upside. While some teams in the field won’t have a representative on the list, others will have multiple.
