The 2018 NCAA Tournament field has been cut from 68 teams to the Final Four. Along the way, the New York Knicks and 29 other franchises have been provided with a platform for 2018 NBA Draft evaluation unlike any other in recent memory.

With an unprecedented slate of upsets and a vast number of coveted prospects going down early, the deep sleepers have come to the forefront.

The Knicks are currently on pace to have the ninth-best lottery odds in the 2018 NBA Draft. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the Knicks will pick at No. 9 overall, but it’s a growing possibility that many are beginning to accept and expect.

With the arrival of the Final Four has come an opportunity to evaluate which prospects are capable of shining under the bright lights of expectation.

In some instances, the players whom the Knicks will be evaluating are firmly on the 2018 NBA Draft radar. In others, they’re sleepers who have begun to rise up boards due to skill sets or physical tools that are beginning to gain recognition.

The question is: Who are the top 2018 NBA Draft prospects in the Final Four and whom should the New York Knicks be watching for?
