Your NBA team is still tanking, college basketball is still rolling, Loyola is in the Final Four, and no, this isn’t a weird dream. The Crossover’s Front Office is here to answer 10 burning draft questions.
1) I’m watching the Final Four. Where are all the lottery picks?
Alas, it is not a year ripe for future superstars to have their shining moments. Villanova and Kansas might have been what you expected, even if Kansas was a slight surprise edging Duke, but Michigan may not have been, and Loyola–Chicago was not. There may not be a single NBA star on either team’s roster, but that doesn’t mean this weekend will be a total loss from a scouting perspective.
