Give and Go: Can anyone edge Jahlil Okafor for No. 1 in 2015 NBA draft? /

With college basketball seizing the spotlight in March, Give and Go is giving into the Madness.

In an NBA draft edition of Give and Go, SI.com's Chris Mannix is joined by David Gardner to discuss some of this month's biggest NBA/CBB storylines. Among the questions discussed:

• Can anyone unseat Jahlil Okafor for No. 1? The Duke star suddenly has company at the top.

• How high will D'Angelo Russell be selected in the draft? Ohio State's freshmen has been rising up the charts in recent weeks and could challenge the top big men.

• Who is the better prospect: Karl Towns or Willie Cauley-Stein? Kentucky is loaded with pro prospects, which big man will go higher in the draft?
