From Brackets to Buzzer Beaters: How NCAA Stars Could End Up in Your Favorite NBA Team
Riley will be a project after he’s picked in the draft, but teams would like to see more proof of concept in the NCAA Tournament before committing to him.
Best Potential First Weekend Matchup: Jakucionas and No. 6 Illinois vs Tre Johnson and No. 11 Texas
Yes, this is a lot of Illinois talk, but this region only has one surefire first-rounder on a team other than these two (Asa Newell of Georgia).
Tre Johnson has a case as the best prospect in the region over Jakucionas. He’s one of the best scorers in college basketball, with a lethal jumper and an array of moves to get off shots from wherever he wants on the floor. He’s averaging 19.8 points and shooting 39.2% on 3s and 89.1% from the free-throw line.
