2024 NBA mock draft: How the prospects performed in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight

The NCAA tournament is down to four teams as March Madness has given way to April.

The defending champion UConn Huskies have made easy work of each of their four opponents thus far, including a dominant 30-point run against a talented Illinois team in the Elite Eight. Multiple prospects on the UConn roster improved their standing in our latest NBA mock draft, including center Donovan Clingan cracking the top three for the first time this season.

Elsewhere, Zach Edey and Purdue stormed to the Final Four a year after being upset by a 16-seed in the first round.

Now, wins by UConn and Purdue will set up NBA scouts for a Clingan-Edey matchup that will have plenty of next-level implications.

Who else stood out during the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight over the past weekend?

ESPN NBA draft insiders Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo recap the second weekend of the tournament and provide an updated mock draft.
