2016 NBA Draft: Ranking the Best Prospects in the Final Four

March 29th, 2016 by Jonathan Wasserman Leave a reply »
The 2016 Final Four is set, and NBA scouts should have plenty to monitor in Houston.

Lottery teams expecting to pick high will likely be locked onto Oklahoma's Buddy Hield, who's averaging 29.2 points in the NCAA tournament and bound to draw top-five looks in June.

Villanova doesn't offer much star power, but it does have a couple of guards scouts will be tracking, whether it's for this summer or the next. Syracuse also has a pair of rising freshmen who've generated some draft buzz during the team's unexpected run. 

Meanwhile, NBA teams looking for a frontcourt energizer will be watching North Carolina. During his senior year, Brice Johnson has surprisingly emerged as the team's most coveted 2016 prospect.

These rankings are based on long-term NBA potential. It's possible a few of the following prospects return to school and declare next summer. Either way, the rankings reflect how I expect the prospects to stack up in the pros five years from now.
