The best NBA views that you can observe at the NCAA tournament (next to Cooper Flag)

The best NBA views that you can observe at the NCAA tournament (next to Cooper Flag)

by

For some Hoops fans, the NCAA men's basketball tournament is school spirit, shocking upset, Cinderella runs, the office bracket competition, MID majors with funny mascot or a variety of other coincidences that make March Madness popular.

And for some others, the basketball tournament of the NCAA men is basically the only chance to familiarize themselves with players who will soon appear in the NBA.

This is a tournament preview for the latter group. If you are curious for lottery chances of winning than the Kenpom ranking, let us talk about what you should pay attention to in the next few weeks.

Team to see: Duke Blue Devils

First game: Friday at 2:50 p.m. ET, opponent TBD

Regardless of whether your favorite NBA team (the Washington Wizards) obviously fueled or fell strange and despite the high pre -season expectations (the Philadelphia 76ers) got into the lottery, the most important team that keeps an eye on in the tournament are the Blue Devils. If you can put your disgust on Duke aside for a moment, the Blue Devils are projected by many design experts that three players are selected in the top 10 of the upcoming NBA design.

In the meantime, you probably know about Cooper Flag, the striker, who is the alleged No. 1 selection in June. Flagg was the recruit of No. 1 in the high school class from 2024 and invited an invitation last summer to practice the Olympic squad of the US men as part of the selected team. He achieved an average of 18.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.1 a competition as a newcomer.

The other names that should know are strikers Kon Knueppel, a shot striker whose 3-point ability makes him attractive for almost every team, and Khaman Maluach, a center that can offer the teams a potential defender and marginal runner at the next level.

Team you want you could see: Rutgers Scarlet Knights

No team embodies the dichotomy of the college and NBA games better than the Scarlet Knights. Rutgers are expected to have two players – Wachmann Dylan Harper and Forward Ace Bailey – who were selected in the lottery.

Both the mock designs of NBA and ESPN are in second place and Bailey in third place. The only problem? The Scarlet Knights missed the tournament and also rejected an invitation to the NIT.

Another team with potentially several picks in the first round: Illinois Fighting Illini

First game: Friday at 9:45 p.m. ET, opponent TBD

Wache Kaspara's Jakucionis and striker Will Riley are both possible selections in the first round. Jakucionis has the chance to go to the top 10, while Riley is most frequently projected as the last third of the first.

Jonathan Wassman from Bleacher Report describes Jakucionis as a CHAUNCEY BILLUPS guards, who can thrive on the ball. In the meantime, Bills Riley as a player whose size could be a capital on the wing, although he still has improvement as a shooter.

Player who could shoot in your heart: Tre Johnson

First game: Wednesday at 9:10 p.m. et vs. Xavier

The Texas Longhorns Guard Tre Johnson is an unapologist's scorer who apparently shows the fifth best player in the upcoming design class. Almost every appearance has a consensus -top four in flag, Harper, Bailey and the VJ Edgecompe from Baylor Bears. Johnson is the player who appears most often after them.

Johnson is a shooter who is not afraid to let it fly. He can create himself to the scope and seems to have NBA-ready Tor talents.

However, the Longhorns are not a guarantee that a tournament is executed. Texas will play in the first four games to have the opportunity to make the 64 team field. A big night from Johnson was able to give him a March flashing.

Enjoy them while you can: Florida Gators, Auburn Tigers

First game for Florida: Friday at 6:50 p.m. ET against No. 16 seeds Norfolk State

First game for Auburn: Thursday at 2:50 p.m. ET, opponent TBD

Both the Gator and the tigers deserve number 1 seeds in the upcoming tournament. And both teams play players (Walter Clayton Jr. in Florida, Johni Broome in Auburn) who were semi -finalists for the Naishith Trophy. But neither the gators nor the tigers have players who expect most mockers in the lottery.

While Clayton Jr. and Broome both have the chance to be confiscated, they expect their names to be called in the first or even in the second round much later. Both Auburn and Florida had great seasons. If you love to see the two teams playing, they appreciate what their stars are doing now, because they may have no chance of shining so brightly in the NBA.
