The NCAA men’s college basketball tournament is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s impossible to avoid the pull of high-stakes basketball on nearly the entire day - for a basketball lover, it’s paradise.
While there is almost always a Cinderella story, a heart-wrenching defeat, and occasionally, a chance to cheer on your alma mater, one thing is consistent - a chance for NBA prospects to introduce themselves to the nation. Players like Kemba Walker, Gordon Hayward, and Mario Chalmers were able to raise their draft stock with incredible runs through the tournament.
