Madness frequently serves as a forum for high-profile NBA talents to showcase themselves on the sport's biggest stage. But this year might be even better than in year's past. Projected No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg — the anchor for a likely No.

Flagg could tear his ACL in the pre-draft process and be projected to miss his entire rookie season, and in all likelihood he would still be the top pick. His upside as a two-way star is too great to not be the top pick, barring a medical condition or long-term injury popping up between now and June.
