The 2024 NBA Draft pool has been all over the place this college basketball season, with plenty of prospects failing to separate themselves in conference play.

Still, every game offers prospects a chance at boosting their stock in the eyes of scouts who will be helping to make decisions in June.

Here are some of the top basketball prospects to watch in college basketball tonight:

Baylor Bears: Ja’Kobe Walter and Yves Missi

No. 15 Baylor takes on a tough Big 12 opponent tonight in TCU, and it’ll need help from freshmen weapons Walter and Missi.

Walter has been one of the best freshmen guards in the country, but has seen some slippage in his shooting splits in conference play. Still, his production — 14.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game — speaks for itself.

Missi has solidified himself as one of the better big men in the entire class, averaging 10.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in just 23 minutes per game.

Both will need to be on their A-game to take down the Horned Frogs tonight.

No. 9 North Carolina vs. Miami

Miami’s trio of potential draftees in Kyshawn George, Wood Poplar and Matthew Cleveland take on No. 9 North Carolina tonight in perhaps their toughest test of the season.

George has garnered a lot of buzz lately, and Poplar and Cleveland have been looked at as potential NBA-ers for awhile.

The ninth-ranked Tarheels have Elliot Cadeau and Harrison Ingram on their end. Both might need another season, but should still offer must-watch basketball.
