The conference tournaments continued on Saturday, Mar. 10. Which potential 2018 NBA Draft targets should the New York Knicks have been watching?

The New York Knicks are inching closer towards the 2018 NBA Draft. With March Madness in full swing and the postseason now out of the question, the Knicks have a chance to look to the future and evaluate the quality of the players both on the roster and in the incoming class of rookies.

On Saturday, Mar. 10, the Knicks received an opportunity to scout some of the top prospects in the 2018 NBA Draft under high-pressure circumstances.

With Selection Sunday on the horizon, Saturday played home to a number of conference tournament finals. There were also a number of games played in the semifinal of conference play, which created a number of compelling storylines.

That included breakout performances by 2018 NBA Draft prospects on the Round 1 bubble and the confirmation of lottery status by a select few others.

With the 2018 NCAA Tournament nearing, many are beginning to pay an increased level of attention to the stars of tomorrow. It’s not quite the highest level of March Madness, but the stake are high and players’ mental toughness are being tested.

The question is: Which 2018 NBA Draft prospects stepped up on Saturday, Mar. 10 and why should the New York Knicks be interested?
