March Madness has arrived. With the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight this weekend, there are a handful of prospects Orlando Magic fans should keep an eye on.
In the last NCAA Tournament prospect post, nearly every named mentioned has already been booted out of the tourney. Arizona Wildcats center Deandre Ayton, Oklahoma Sooners guard Trae Young and other highly touted NBA prospects are turning their attention towards the NBA Draft.
Only three names remain that have been atop Draft boards since the 2018 season tipped off. A pair of Duke Blue Devils big men and one of Villanova Wildcats’ star players have all put on a strong showing. Both squads looked primed to meet in the Final Four.
The 2018 tournament has been historic. Top seeds have dropped like flies and under-the-radar NBA hopefuls have stolen the show.
Although they may not be the Orlando Magic’s option at the top of the Draft, there are still players who will likely make a big impact at the professional level.
Cinderella stories are the theme of this tournament. High seeds dominate the Sweet Sixteen and it will give players the ultimate exposure on the biggest stage of college basketball.
Stars have emerged like Nevada Wolfpack forward Cody Martin and Texas A&M Aggies center Tyler Davis.
