On March 26, Beijing time, the NCAA madness continued in March, and st. Peter's University, the 15th seed in the Eastern District, beat the 3rd seed Purdue University, which means that another popular in the class of 2022 was eliminated. In the latest ranking of the draft website NBA Draft, Purdue University's main guard Jayden Ivey ranked first, and in this game, he played poorly, 4 of 12 in the whole game, 1 of 6 three-pointers, only 9 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, 6 turnovers, and his team also lost to the opponent by 3 points.
The NBA Draft website lists two draft templates for Ive, one is Timberwolves rising star Edwards, and the other is Jazz All-Star Mitchell. It can be seen that Ive is a very physical defender. There are also fans who think he is a bit like Morant and Wade. Ive is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 90 kilograms, and has averaged 17.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game this season, shooting 46.4% from the field and 36.4% from three-point range.
Counting Ive, who has just been out, NBA Draft predicts that three of the top four rookies of this year have been eliminated. The other two are Homegrun of Gonzaga University and Jabari Smith of Auburn University.
Gonzaga University, the top seed in the West End, lost to the University of Arkansas, the No. 4 seed, in the third round. Homegren is 2 meters 13 tall, weighs only 88 kilograms, his draft template is Porzingis, and some AMERICAN media think that he is a white version of Durant. This season, Homegren averaged 14.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game, perhaps because his body was too thin, the ability to fight against the game was not good, the draft pick has declined, and he who was previously the highest ranking first, now the latest prediction has fallen to fourth.
Auburn University, the No. 2 seed in the Midwest Division, lost to the No. 10 seed Miami University in the second round. Jabari Smith had 10 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks, and was out of course, 3-of-16 and 1-of-8 from three-point range. Jabari Smith is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 99 kilograms, and the template is Bosh and Rashad Lewis, who have averaged 16.9 points and 7.4 rebounds per game this season, shooting 42.9% from the field and 42% from three-point range.
The only person in the forecast's top four who wasn't eliminated was Duke rising star Paul Bancello. Duke has already made it through three rounds, with the next opponent being the University of Arkansas, which eliminated Gonzaga. Bancello had 22 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in the last game, and his draft templates were Randle and Juwan Howard. At 2.08 meters tall and weighing 113 kilograms, Bancello has averaged 17.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game this season.
