From Brackets to Buzzer Beaters: How NCAA Stars Could End Up in Your Favorite NBA Team
Midwest Region
Best Prospect: Kasparas Jakucionas, Illinois
In some ways, Kasparas Jakucionas had the season many were predicting for Demin.
He’s not as big (6-6 compared to Demin’s 6-9) but he’s a wing with some size, passing chops and a good shot. Don’t let the low 3-point percentage fool you; Jakucionas can shoot it. His problem is he knows it and takes way too many quick-trigger 3s.
Jakucionas has looked worn down by the rigors of the season lately. After back-to-back 24-point games in mid-February, he hasn’t scored more than 20 points in eight straight games. Hopefully, the break before the tournament can re-energize him, because he has a chance to be a top-five draft pick with a strong showing.
