As college basketball is set to turn the page from a strange regular season to the start of the March Madness tournament, we wanted to take a look at the players who have improved their draft stock of late.
Last time we did this exercise back in January, we highlighted a wide range of candidates, extending from raw sophomore big man Kai Jones to polished sharpshooting senior wing Corey Kispert.
This time, we have taken a similar approach, including upperclassmen and underclassmen alike. These are the players who may not have been on the minds of executives before the season but who have played their way into serious consideration.
We have also added some honorable mentions who are likely top targets in the 2022 NBA Draft but would qualify for this group if they opted to turn pro after this season.
Note that all statistics are accurate as of games before March 2, 2021.
