The Sixers seem poised to get a pick in the mid-lottery while the Lakers' odds of keeping their pick increased as they slid into the NBA's second-worst record.
Now that we settled that, let's take a peek at who rose and fell this weekend.
Lonzo Ball, guard, UCLA (6-6/190)
It appears that nothing will stop Lonzo Ball right now: The freshman is on fire. In a home sweep of Washington and Washington St., Ball put together some of his best numbers of the year.
First up were the Huskies. Unfortunately, Markelle Fultz was out with an injury, depriving us of a Ball-Fultz showdown Part II. Ball took advantage of his absence with a banner-shooting night, making 8 of 10 shots (3 of 4 from three) for 19 points. He didn't stop there, dishing out eight assists, reeling in seven rebounds and corralling four steals.
And then the Cougars fell victim to a highlight reel for Ball, who had a double-double with 12 points and a career-high 14 assists. He took only eight shots but made four of them, including two threes. While he may not end up being Steph Curry, Ball has been the catalyst behind the Bruins' run toward the top of the polls. Look out for him this month.
Malik Monk, guard, Kentucky (6-4/185)
Beyond Ball, many of the top prospects had lackluster weeks and Malik Monk was no exception. While his Kentucky squad picked up two wins to close out its regular season, the freshman had two atrocious shooting nights. He made just 8 of 21 shots against Vanderbilt (still had 27 points thanks to nine free throws). However, criticisms of him as a volume shooter rang true in that contest that the Wildcats barely won.
On Saturday, Monk had one of his worst games of the season. He made just 2 of 10 from the field (0 for 4 from three) and had just six points. Monk is essentially an offense only prospect, so these nights are highly concerning. He can shoot with the best of them when he's on, but when he's off? It can get ugly in a hurry.
Jayson Tatum, forward, Duke (6-8/204)
Tatum didn't struggle quite as much as Monk this week, but he wasn't too much better. Tatum has had the misfortune over his last three games to face three teams that feature length in droves. That's what happens when you play in the ACC. Team after team have NBA worthy defenders.
On Tuesday, the Blue Devils defeated Florida St., but Tatum wasn't a major factor shooting the ball. He made just 5 of 13 from the field (1 of 5 from three) en route to 15 points. While he filled up the stat sheet with nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals, he also had five turnovers. And then Tatum performed in a similar fashion against North Carolina on Saturday, making 4 of 13 from the field for 13 points. He only had five rebounds and one assist and sat for 10 minutes after missing just one minute in his previous three games.
Lauri Markkanen, forward, Arizona (7-0/225)
What is up with Lauri Markkanen's shooting slump? The sharp shooter from Finland has not been himself from range over his last few games and is 0 for 11 on threes in his last four games. Dating back to Feb. 4, he is just 4 for 28 from deep, bringing his percentage down to 42.8 percent.
Still, he's found a way to contribute. On Saturday against Arizona St., he had 10 points on 10 shots and got his way to the free-throw line, where he made 4 of 6 attempts. He also had nine rebounds and three blocks, including one that made Sportscenter's top 10 plays.
Jonathan Isaac, forward, Florida State (6-11/205)
After a strong week in which he helped lead the Seminoles to two wins, Jonathan Isaac also took a step back in the final week of the regular season. Isaac saw FSU lose to Duke on Tuesday and he had just eight points on seven shots, making on three. He did pick up eight rebounds but wasn't much of a factor in 25 minutes.
While the Seminoles rebounded with a win Saturday against Miami, Isaac was basically absent. In just 20 minutes, he missed all three shots he took and had just two points. In fact, he had more fouls (3) than points and had just three rebounds, an assist and a block. Isaac is clearly a project for the next level and his development will take a while.
Quick Hits
Just like last week, let's take a look at the crop of second round picks.
Oregon junior forward Dillon Brooks is in a tight race with Ball for Pac 12 Player of the Year. Brooks was 10 for 14 from the field and had 25 points in an 80-59 win over Oregon State.
Notre Dame lost to Louisville on Saturday, but senior forward V.J. Beachem had 17 points and eight rebounds. Beachem is a strong defender and could be a good three-and-D guy at the next level.
SMU junior forward Semi Ojeleye has been an offensive force this season and Saturday was no different. In a 103-62 win over Memphis, he had 19 points on just six shots, making three treys and six free throws.
