ESPN recently published a revised mock draft following the tournament.
The top spot is largely uncontested, with Duke’s Cooper Flagg expected to be selected first overall.
Rutgers teammates Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey are slated to be picked second and third, respectively.
The first nine projected selections are all freshmen anticipated to leave after one college season.
VJ Edgecombe, Tre Johnson, Jeremiah Fears, Khaman Maluach, Kon Knueppel, and Kasparas Jakucionis are forecasted to be chosen between the fourth and ninth positions.
Standout NCAA Tournament performances elevated the draft prospects of Florida’s national title winners, Walter Clayton Jr. and Alex Condon, along with Colorado State’s Nique Clifford.
All three are now anticipated to be first-round selections.
