Tournament Chock Full of Quality Draft Prospects:

All season pundits have been salivating over the extremely deep 2017 prospect class. Expect to see plenty of playmaking with this guard heavy 2017 NCAA Tournament class as the players jockey to push their names higher up the draft lists of NBA GMs.

A sub par 2017 NCAA Tournament won’t necessarily remove a prospect from the conversation, but rising to the occasion under the glare of the spotlight could push less regarded players up the ranking lists.

Villanova’s Kris Jenkins is all too familiar with that bright light as his miraculous buzzer beater showcased his clutch gene and became the shot of the 2016 tourney.

The most perfect moniker for a NBA player (Lonzo Ball) will definitely be under watchful eyes, but his father’s constant desire to be a media fixture may bring unwanted glare to UCLA.

Jayhawk Josh Jackson, Florida State’s Johnathan Issac and Duke’s Jayson Tatum are all forward’s worthy of extra attention.

Check back tomorrow as the TI Team bring you detailed breakdowns for each of the 4 brackets and offer our picks on players to key in on.
