The 2023 NBA Draft actually lacked intrigue, at the least when it got here to the first-overall choice. For months Victor Wembayama was locked into the highest spot on each draft board, and when the San Antonio Spurs gained the 2023 NBA Draft lottery it was clear: Wembymania was headed to the Lone Star State, and the draft started in earnest at No. 2.
That isn’t the case this yr.
The 2024 NBA Draft begins later tonight, because the league shifts to a two-day occasion for this season. And who will go first total is anybody’s guess. Will or not it’s athletic huge man Alex Sarr from France, whose huge wingspan and defensive abilities have seen him fly up draft boards? Will or not it’s one of many Kentucky guards? Reed Sheppard won’t supply a ton of creativity and upside, however his taking pictures abilities are elite and he confirmed a knack for creating turnovers on the defensive finish for the Wildcats. Rob Dillingham is undersized by NBA requirements — maybe traditionally so — however pairs elite ball-handling abilities with great potential as a shooter.
Two extra choices for that first-overall choice? Nikola Subject from Serbia and Ron Holland out of the G League. Holland regarded like a possible first-overall choice months in the past, however a dropping season with the Ignite has seen his draft inventory fall a bit. Then there may be Subject, who acquired off to a gradual begin with Mega within the Adriatic League after which suffered a pair of accidents, the second a partially-torn ACL.
However the upside, particularly mixed along with his age (Subject is not going to flip 19 till August) is immense.
Oh and earlier than we overlook, Bronny James is ready to listen to the place he lands, together with the remainder of us … and his father.
