Philadelphia 76ers: 5 prospects to watch in 2019 NCAA Tournament

Overview

While many brackets will be busted by this time next week, 76ers fans are always looking forward to the draft. The NCAA tournament can be make or break for many prospects that find themselves outside the lottery. All of the players on this list fall into that category, where a stellar tournament could bump them up to a potential lottery pick, and a disappointing tournament could see them slide down the projections.

Coby White, Matisse Thybulle, Ty Jerome, Chuma Okeke and Markus Howard are players whose teams are going to need them to produce if a tournament run is to happen. Hopefully this time next year, we will be talking about one or more of the producing for the 76ers, in preparation for a title run.

The NCAA Tournament combined with the end of the regular season for the 76ers makes for a very fun 3 weeks of basketball for fans all over the city.  The 76ers will look to continue to extend their hold on the 3-seed in the East with their next few games coming against the likes of Charlotte, Boston and Atlanta.

Time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the most exciting time of the year.
