LThe Final Four for the NCAA basketball championship is about to start. Many eagerly await who will be the champion who succeeds Baylor this 2022. But, in addition, many scouts will be aware of the future promises that can stand out in the near future in the NBA. Here are some of the most notable players:
If Mike Krzyzewski dreams of retiring as coach to his sixth NCAA championship, it is partly thanks to the performances of Paolo Banchero. This Seattle-born power forward turns heads at the Final Four in New Orleans. NBADraft.net places him as the number 2 pick in the upcoming 2022 Draft. ESPN, on the other hand, is number 3. The teams already know that he will end up in a high position.
Paolo Banchero (Duke) is named the NCAA All-Tournament Most Outstanding Player.

In the semifinals against North Carolina he will have the opportunity to get closer to the number 1 spot in the Draft. At the moment, his averages are 17.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Banchero is compared to Julius Randle, a player for the New York Knicks. The Duke player is capable of playing effectively from the perimeter. He has good mid-range shooting and ball handling. He has a large wingspan and stands out for being a complete player on the court, especially when it comes to capturing rebounds. He is the biggest draw for the Blue Devils in these semifinals.
Shooting guard Ochai Agbaji is Kansas’ standout player. He can be among the 10 chosen for the next Draft. He was born in Wisconsin, but went to high school in Kansas City before accepting the Jayhawks’ offer. He is also notable for having a large wingspan. He is a correct defender, capable of defending any type of outside player. He is also capable of scoring (18.9 points per game) and shooting from the three line. His weak point is in his inability to generate plays on his own. Although he has a lot of potential as a defender, thanks to his physique, he needs to be a bit more disciplined.
The Wildcats are a very united team when it comes to playing. But Collin Gispille is his player to watch. A player who brings intangibles on the track. He is a good scorer at all levels and a very disciplined point guard. He averages 15.6 points per game and is also an efficient defender. He is the prototype grassroots organizer with experience in this competition. He already won the NCAA in 2018 and wants to repeat at 22 years old. He can be a great role player when he gets to the NBA.
Hurbert Davis’s ‘Tar Heels’ have a center with a lot of physical presence on the court. Bacot is a player with a lot of court presence, strength and rebounding ability. He is the only player among the four qualifying teams averaging a double-double. However, NBADraft.net places him late in the second round. The reason is the difficulty he has to generate points in attack. He also has a hard time being effective handling the ball. However, he can be a differential factor in this ‘Final Four’ if he makes good use of his physical condition.
AJ Griffin, also a power forward at Duke, stands out for being a mobile player with a great understanding of the game. The forecasts place him among the 10 best players of this generation.
In his same position, but playing for Villanova, he finds himself Jermaine Samuels. A very correct player in all aspects of the game. In addition, he has a good outside launch.
North Carolina also has Caleb Love, who can be chosen in the second round. His athletic abilities stand out to play the point guard position. His Achilles tendon is the perimeter shot.
In Kansas we elect Jalen Wilsona player with offensive capacity and height to play as a shooting guard and who aims to also be chosen in the second round.
