46. Jaden McDaniels, Washington
Forward, 6-foot-9, 19 years old
Even though he was a Top 10 recruit coming out of high school, there has since been very little to love about Jaden McDaniels. Some red flags include his turnover rate (24.0%), which ranks near the worst among freshmen playing in high-major conferences. His jump shot has been average, not poor. If improved, it can be a saving grace for someone his size. But his development should be concerning for scouts who watched McDaniels put up just 9.6 points per game while shooting an abysmal 25.8% from beyond the arc in January.
47. Xavier Tillman, Michigan State
Forward, 6-foot-8, 21 years old
Michigan State junior Xavier Tillman is averaging 13.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.2 steals per game. He has been among the most prolific pick-and-roll finishers in the NCAA this season, per Synergy. His block percentage (7.0%) ranks in the Top 15 among all players.
48. Udoka Azubuike, Kansas
Center, 7-foot-0, 20 years old
Kansas senior Udoka Azubuike had the second-most dunks (94) among NCAA players this season. As such, his effective field-goal percentage (73.5%) ranks second-best among all college basketball players. Meanwhile, his block percentage (10.2%) ranks as the third-best in the Big 12.
49. Filip Petrusev, Gonzaga
Center, 6-foot-11, 19 years old
Gonzaga sophomoreFilip Petrusev is averaging 17.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. He has drawn 7.8 fouls per 40 minutes, which currently ranks third-best among all NCAA players. His productivity and size are reasons enough to take a chance on him. He can continue to improve his stock during March Madness.
50. Killian Tillie, Gonzaga
Center, 6-foot-10, 21 years old
If not for injury concerns, Killian Tillie likely would be considered a first-round talent due to his versatile skill set. For example, his offensive rating (126.2) thus far ranks in the Top 5 among all NCAA players with a usage rate as high as his. However, Tillie’s ability to stay on the court has been a lingering issue.
