2025 NBA draft: March Madness stock watch, top 100 prospects

With the first weekend of the men's NCAA tournament in the books and the NIT entering its quarterfinals, it's a great opportunity to update ESPN's Top 100 rankings and see how many of the top 2025 NBA draft prospects performed.

Although this year's tournament didn't produce many upsets, the bracket shook out well for scouts. Plenty of high-level matchups, particularly in the second round, gave NBA teams much to evaluate ahead of the June 25-26 draft.

Though many prospects are still playing in the tournaments -- projected No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg and Duke are among the favorites to win the NCAA title -- several prospects' seasons ended, including Baylor's VJ Edgecombe, Texas' Tre Johnson, Oklahoma's Jeremiah Fears, and others.
