The arrival of March signals a key stretch for both prospects and NBA teams' lottery odds. The Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets are each favorites to finish with a bottom-three record and a 14.0 percent chance of winning the first pick. And as of now, there is still no consensus answer for who that should be, though scouts sound excited about the candidates. We're reaching a point where it seems like the top-four prospects are set, albeit in no set order. Otherwise, the board remains fluid in the late-lottery range on down, and results from this upcoming March could move the needle for dozens. Players with write-ups either deserved mentions for their recent play or haven't been talked about enough lately in the draft discussion.
