The NCAA tournament is in full swing, and NBA Draft prospects have one last chance to show NBA scouts and front offices what they're made of.

Here’s how some of the top NBA Draft prospects fared in the Sunday’s March Madness games:

Cason Wallace, Kentucky

Despite a seven-point loss to a solid Kansas State squad, Wallace was able to raise his draft stock with a strong two-way performance.

Wallace poured on 21 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two steals while shooting nine-for-11 overall and hitting his lone shot from beyond the arc.

Along with his counting stats, the freshman provided his patented perimeter defense in what was likely his last game as a Wildcat.

Creighton vs. Baylor

The matchup between three-seeded Baylor and sixth-seeded Creighton featured a plethora of future draft picks of varying levels of talent.

Highly-touted Baylor freshman Keyonte George, a projected top-10 pick in 2023, struggled to produce on the big stage. He shot one-for-10 overall and 0-for-three from beyond the line to finished with just seven points.

Creighton’s duo of Arthur Kaluma and Baylor Scheierman combined to score 19 points on six-for-13 shooting.

Creighton would runaway with the win, 85-76.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Marquette

Despite being upset by Michigan State, Marquette forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper put together a productive game for the Golden Eagles.

He scored 16 points, dished out four assists and nabbed three rebounds while shooting five-for-11 overall and three-for-seven from beyond the arc.

At 6-foot-8 and 230 pounds, Prosper has ideal NBA size, and could very well hear his name called on draft night 2023.

Colby Jones, Xavier

Jones showcased his versatility in an 11-point win over Pittsburgh on Sunday.

The 6-foot-6 junior poured on just 10 points, but was able to show his value outside of scoring with 14 points, seven assists and one block. He shot four-for-nine and his two of his three 3-pointers.
