For a bracket so stocked with quality college basketball teams – both Virginia and North Carolina are favorites to make the Final Four – you’d think there would be more NBA prospects in Charlotte this week for the NCAA tournament.
That’s not to say there aren’t any legitimate college basketball prospects here. Just, they don’t come from those blue bloods.

And the Charlotte Hornets, depending on how the draft falls, could be in the market for one of them.
