NBA Draft 2017: Top 10 Best College Basketball Players for March Madness

No. 4 SF Jayson Tatum (Duke)


School: Duke


Position: Small Forward


Size: 6'8"/205 pounds


Class: Freshman


Why Watch: No NBA prospect has been hotter over the last month of the season than Tatum. He ended the season scoring 20 points in three of Duke's last four games. After missing the first eight games of the season with an injury, Tatum has found his form and proving to be one of the better scorers in the draft. Tatum is not a great shooter but can have his way on the blocks using his length to his advantage. He averaged just under 17 points and seven rebounds during the season. ESPN's Chad Ford noted on the Locked on NBA podcast that Tatum can still be in the discussion with Lonzo Ball and Markelle Fultz for the top pick in the NBA Draft. There are still questions as to whether Tatum's offensive game can translate to the NBA. (Getty)
