2024 NBA Mock Draft

Pairing with Gram Tucker to provide a list of predictions for tonight's NBA draft

Draft night is upon us! Dubbed as one of the weakest classes in a long time by the mainstream, the 2024 class still has a chance to provide immense value for teams with depth pieces galore and players who can develop into role players for contending teams.

Given the weirdness of this class, doing a mock draft is next to impossible. I expect plenty of movement up, down and around the board as we get through the first night of what is now a two-day event.

While my personal board likely won’t be public this year, this mock should provide a solid idea of where I stand with certain players. I ranked most players in tiers this year and what immediately stood out to me is the quality of players available in the latter half of the first round, as well as the entire second round, is solid. In total, I evaluated approximately 400 players in this draft, from Zaccharie Risacher to Emanuel Miller to Jack Gohlke to Doug Edert, I watched them.

With that being said, let’s dig into what you might be able to expect from tonight’s draft. I paired with Gram Tucker to provide all 58 picks in a back-and-forth manner and offer our predictions and hot takes. Without further ado, here’s what we think may be in store for tonight:

1. Atlanta Hawks: Zaccharie Risacher, wing, JL Bourg

The Hawks are a difficult team to get a read on in any offseason, a task that became more challenging when Atlanta won the lottery in a year many deem one of the weakest draft classes in recent memory. Floundering since making their Eastern Conference Finals run behind star Trae Young in 2021, the Hawks appear ready to press a reset button of sorts on this current build, with Dejounte Murray, Clint Capela and Bogdan Bogdanovic among those who could be available.

The bigger question is whether the Hawks plan to keep Young. Plenty of suitors -- San Antonio, New Orleans and Los Angeles Lakers to name a few -- could vie for Young’s services if he were to become available.

So what does this have to do with their No. 1 selection and why Risacher? Well, all these tea leaves make Atlanta a potential trade-down team. Constructing such a trade requires too much speculation, so paired with the fact that fellow top prospect Alexandre Sarr isn’t working out for the Hawks, Risacher seems like the favorite to end up in Atlanta either at No. 1 or lower down the board.

Risacher is seen by many as a safe option. I’m not quite as high on the French wing as the consensus (he’s closer to the No. 7-12 range on my board), but I understand the appeal. His offensive bag is fun to watch, though he could stand to improve as a playmaker and driver. He ends up in Atlanta and serves as a foundational piece as the organization figures out its long-term plans.

-Tristan Tucker

2. Washington Wizards: Alexandre Sarr, center/forward, Perth

If the Hawks take Risacher at one, the Wizards run to the podium and select Alex Sarr. The Wizards currently have a need at center with only Marvin Bagley III, Richaun Holmes and Tristan Vukcevic under contract. Sarr can space the floor if needed and is a solid defender and athlete who could develop into a star in Washington as the franchise sets off on its long rebuilding road.

-Gram Tucker

3. Houston Rockets: Reed Sheppard, guard, Kentucky

Sheppard’s long been mocked to the Rockets by the consensus and I won’t ignore the tea leaves. Who better to pair with Fred VanVleet in the backcourt than a guy who plays a similar style of ball? Sheppard is a dynamic offensive talent who dramatically climbed up boards this season to consensus top-five pick. 

The Kentucky product’s ability to light up the floor from deep is appealing, but I’m buying the long-term defense, particularly in help situations. He may struggle one-on-one, and his final collegiate game against Oakland might’ve left a bad taste in the mouth of casual viewers, but his skillset is enormous. Sheppard can step right in as a secondary ball handler and provide value.

-Tristan Tucker

4. San Antonio Spurs: Rob Dillingham, guard, Kentucky

The Spurs are going to be looking to build around Victor Wembanyama and, last year, the Spurs had Jeremy Sochan play point guard, which didn’t work. Tre Jones doesn’t appear to be in the franchise’s plans as the point guard of the future in San Antonio. A floor general who can space the floor is the Spurs’ biggest need presently, so I believe Rob Dillingham should be their choice. Dillingham isn’t the best playmaker, but certainly can develop into a better passer while also still being able to score himself. The Spurs might also elect to draft Stephon Castle at this spot.

-Gram Tucker

Tristan note: For what it’s worth, I don’t think this happens. Dillingham had a ton of buzz in the top five earlier in the season, but he seemed to slide a bit in the pre-draft process and it’s possible he isn’t a lottery pick anymore. Still, I could see Dillingham making sense in San Antonio whether at No. 4 or further down the board.

5. Detroit Pistons: Matas Buzelis, forward, G League Ignite

I’m absolutely living for the beef between Risacher and Matas Buzelis out of the now-defunct G League Ignite. Even if small interactions through the media, I firmly believe in Buzelis’s fiery competitive spirit. Buzelis may have had higher expectations in preseason, but considering the way the Ignite’s season unfolded, I’m willing to give him at least some grace.

The swing skill with Buzelis is if you believe in the shot. He didn’t show he could shoot it at a high level with the Ignite, but he was a significantly better shooter in high school. I believe his upside in that regard is somewhere in the middle. He’s crafty, sees the floor well, can defend, and provides Detroit with an athletic forward who can hopefully stretch the floor and play off Cade Cunningham.

-Tristan Tucker

6. Charlotte Hornets: Stephon Castle, guard, UConn

If Stephon Castle is on the board for the Hornets, he’s a home-run selection for the franchise. In my opinion, Castle will be the best player in this class when it’s all said and done. Franchise cornerstone LaMelo Ball would be able to get some pressure taken off of him if the Hornets select Castle through his point skills and expressed desire to run the one. Castle wouldn’t have to be relied on to be a main scorer either in Charlotte with Brandon Miller shining as a top scoring option this past season. Castle can also be the lead guard as well assuming that Ball misses extensive time like he has the past few seasons.

-Gram Tucker

7. Memphis Grizzlies: Donovan Clingan, center, UConn

PROPOSED TRADE:

Memphis acquires: 2024 No. 7 overall pick

Portland acquires: 2024 No. 9 overall pick, 2024 No. 57 overall pick, 2026 first round pick (lottery protected)

UConn’s star center appears to be in heavy consideration for a number of teams, including Atlanta at No. 1. I’d be shocked to see Clingan fall this far on draft day, with Detroit at No. 5 and Charlotte at No. 6 as prime trade-down candidates alongside Portland if Memphis or another team aims a trade up.

Clingan has all the makings of being a longtime defensive stalwart in the middle for a competitive team. Obviously, winning back-to-back championships displays Clingan’s ability to play for a winner, and his rim protection and shot-blocking skills are jaw-dropping. Might there be some untapped playmaking ability with Clingan as well?

With Clingan, Memphis adequately replaces Steven Adams (who they moved at the deadline this season) and pairs Jaren Jackson Jr. with another defensive-minded frontcourt partner for the future. Clingan could start alongside Jackson or play the backup five behind him.

-Tristan Tucker

8. San Antonio Spurs: Dalton Knecht, wing, Tennessee

Assuming the Spurs select Dillingham at four, the team should look for outside shooting particularly from the wing spot, which Knecht provides. The team needs outside threats and Knecht would also be able to provide scoring from off the bench. 

-Gram Tucker

9. Portland Trail Blazers: Tidjane Salaun, forward, Cholet

I’m not quite as high on Salaun as the consensus, as I would have liked to see more offensive consistency before taking him in the lottery. Still, Salaun makes sense for a team that can afford to be patient like Portland can, and he fits a position of need, especially if the team moves on from some of its veteran forwards like Jerami Grant.

The sell with Salaun comes down to his athleticism and instincts, which aren’t teachable and give him a clear pathway to being an impact player down the line.

-Tristan Tucker

10. Utah Jazz: Devin Carter, guard, Providence

The Jazz need someone to pair alongside Keyonte George in the backcourt. Carter can score from anywhere, be a playmaker and defend. Carter and George might be a little undersized together, however would fit well together and would be great for years to come. 

-Gram Tucker

11. Chicago Bulls: Ron Holland, wing, G League Ignite

Holland falling this far would be a travesty. He’s athletic, he can defend, he has a great frame and measurables, he’s quick, he can drive and he can get to the line. Scouts have questions about his shot, but him falling from consensus top-three pick before the draft to outside the top 10 would be overthinking it to the highest degree.

Of course, the Bulls might not be the optimal setting for Holland depending on what they do with the rest of their roster. It sounds as though they hope to play through Josh Giddey and surround him with capable shooters, which might eliminate Holland as an option as that’s one facet of his game that’s still developing.

-Tristan Tucker

12. Oklahoma City Thunder: Cody Williams, forward, Colorado

If Cody Williams falls to Oklahoma City at 12, it would be a fun experiment. The Thunder just traded for Alex Caruso and are going to be a great defensive team next year. Williams, who is the brother of star forward Jalen Williams, would fit in nicely with the Thunder and would be a great fit off the bench to start out his career while he develops more. 

-Gram Tucker

Tristan note: Cody is a high-character guy who understands the game at a high level. He’s spent most of his life being coached up by his older brother and the two of them ending up in OKC together might be the best thing for Cody’s development. Check out my interview with Cody here.

13. Sacramento Kings: Nikola Topic, guard, Crvena zvezda

Topic, like Holland, is someone who may slip on draft night. An unfortunate pair of injuries leave more questions than answers regarding Topic. He’s obviously a great playmaker with tremendous size who can read over the top of most POA defenders to find his teammates.

I’m mocking Topic to the Kings because Sacramento -- who already tried moving its pick for Alex Caruso -- seems eager to shop this selection. Topic falling out of the lottery entirely would be somewhat disappointing for all his talent, but not necessarily surprising.

-Tristan Tucker

14. Portland Trail Blazers: Zach Edey, center, Purdue

The Trail Blazers are in no need of any guards and one of their biggest needs are going to address the center spot. Deandre Ayton isn’t the healthiest of players, but when is healthy is a capable starting center. Edey would fit in nicely as a backup center behind Ayton and eventually move into the starting lineup once Ayton’s contract expires or he gets traded. The Trail Blazers could look to draft Edey with their first pick also, which would probably be more likely with Edey’s stock continuing to rise.

-Gram Tucker

15. Miami Heat: Isaiah Collier, guard, USC

Collier’s one of the most overlooked players in the class. While there are valid questions about his ability to shoot and his turnovers, there’s a reason Collier was once viewed alongside Holland as one of the top players in the class.

The Heat need someone to be a true lead guard. Neither Tyler Herro nor Terry Rozier has the skillset the Heat need from a lead floor general for the future, and both play better as secondary handlers rather than true ones. That isn’t a shot at either player, but the Heat desperately need a true creator, allowing both players to thrive more off the ball.

Collier provides that and gives the Heat some youth and athleticism at the guard position that they haven’t had in years.

-Tristan Tucker

16. Philadelphia 76ers: Ja’Kobe Walter, wing, Baylor

The 76ers will need to look to add shooting to their roster to build around Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. The Sixers could opt to take a forward to replace Tobias Harris, who is an impending free agent, but with the way the board is shaping up, selecting a wing would be a reach. I believe the pick will be either Ja’Kobe Walter or Jared McCain. 

I opted to take Walter because of his size and his shooting prowess. Walter didn’t have a very efficient season at Baylor shooting the basketball, however I think that his shooting will develop as he gets more experience under his belt. Walter also has great size for a guard, standing 6-foot-5 and is also athletic. The weakest spot in Walter’s game is his playmaking ability, but Walter won’t have to be relied on much as a lead guard with Maxey being the main guy in Philadelphia. 

-Gram Tucker

17. Los Angeles Lakers: Jared McCain, guard, Duke

One of the best shooters in the class, McCain makes sense for a number of teams. He lit up from beyond the arc as the season wore on and by the time the NCAA Tournament rolled around, McCain looked like a true veteran. I’m mocking McCain here because while a true big like Kyle Filipowski or Yves Missi might make sense, I think McCain provides some valuable insurance if the team decides to move on from D’Angelo Russell this offseason.

Like with Sacramento, there’s a non-zero chance this selection ends up on the move if the Lakers secure a chance to trade for a star.

-Tristan Tucker

18. Orlando Magic: Kel’el Ware, center, Indiana

The Magic are just coming off a first round exit against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but are on an upward trajectory with the emergence of Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs. The Magic will look to be even better next season and I believe they will draft somebody who can make an impact right away.

The weakest spot on the Magic’s roster is the center spot, starting Goga Bitadze for most of the season. Bitadze was solid and may very well keep his starting spot next season, however the upside for Kel’el Ware is higher. Ware isn’t the greatest shooter, but he can stretch the floor a little. The strongest part of Ware’s game is ability to defend the rim and rebound. Ware struggled at Oregon before transferring to Indiana this past season, which is concerning, however Ware really caught fire at Indiana and could potentially be a solid starting center in the NBA. 

-Gram Tucker

19. Toronto Raptors: Jaylon Tyson, wing, Cal

Something about Tyson screams Masai Ujiri and the Toronto Raptors to me. Tyson’s one of the biggest sleepers in this class as a true wing that can dribble, pass and shoot — a basic litmus test for prospects.

Tyson still has a bit to go on the defensive side of the ball and it’s fair to question how exactly his role translates without the high usage he had at Cal. Still, I buy the ability to get to his spots paired with solid court vision. He could be a serviceable backup to Scottie Barnes while he adapts his game to the next level.

-Tristan Tucker

20. Cleveland Cavaliers: Tristan Da Silva, forward, Colorado

The Cavaliers’ top priority this offseason is to extend Donovan Mitchell and get pieces around him so Cleveland can contend for a title next season. The Cavaliers will likely keep both Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen next season, which would be a solid core to run it back with again next season.

The Cavaliers have a need for wings, with their main guys being Isaac Okoro, Max Strus and Dean Wade. Tristan Da Silva may not be a plug-in starter right away, however, he will be a very solid addition off the bench and could start games if someone like Okoro was to miss time. Da Silva adds an element of shooting that the Cavs don’t get with Okoro. Despite Da Silva’s age, he would still be a solid pick for a Cavs team that is looking to win now. 

-Gram Tucker

Tristan note: I would be shocked if Da Silva fell this far on draft night. If he ends up in Cleveland, it’s a home-run pick. I didn’t select him earlier because of personal preference for teams like Miami, Sacramento and Los Angeles, but he makes sense in any of those settings.

21. New Orleans Pelicans: Bub Carrington, guard, Pittsburgh

The Pelicans seem as though they’re going to go for a big splash this summer, so I wouldn’t exactly be surprised to see this pick on the move. Carrington’s one of the biggest sleepers in this class as a young guard prospect with a killer pull-up shot arsenal.

There are quite a few bigs who could make sense here and even though the guard room is tight right now, I simply believe Carrington is the most talented prospect available in our mock at this spot to pass on him. The Pels getting a guard who can score in bunches works for any build they pivot to.

-Tristan Tucker

22. Phoenix Suns: Yves Missi, center, Baylor

The Suns had high expectations after going all in on Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal a season ago, but the Suns were defeated by the Timberwolves in round one. The Suns are going to try and run it back again next season and the glaring need for Phoenix is a center.

Jusuf Nurkic played well enough, but the Suns could definitely look to upgrade its depth. I believe the Suns will take Yves Missi because of his defensive prowess and his high upside. Missi is one of the best shot blockers in the class and would be a major asset to Phoenix if he could develop into a star. The Suns really need to hit on this pick because they don’t own another first round pick until 2031.

-Gram Tucker

Tristan note: This is yet another guy I could see going way earlier. The Lakers make a ton of sense if they go for a center but I could see Missi going even higher. At certain points of the season, Missi was in the top eight of my draft board, before settling closer to the 10-15 range.

23. Milwaukee Bucks: Tyler Smith, forward, G League Ignite

The Bucks are going to look different after bowing out of the playoffs early, even if that was partially a byproduct of their injuries. Players like Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton, Malik Beasley and Brook Lopez might be out the door this offseason as Milwaukee reshuffles the deck.

While Doc Rivers didn’t exactly look to his youthful players much during his half-season tenure, it would only be natural that Milwaukee fleshes out its rotation with cost-effective pieces. If those veterans are phased out, look for guys like Andre Jackson Jr., AJ Green, MarJon Beauchamp and even Chris Livingston to take on bigger roles.

So why Smith? He makes sense as a bouncy big that can stretch the floor and is a lob threat. The Bucks have shown an inclination to select Ignite guys in the past (see: Beauchamp) and Smith fits the model for what they’ve been looking for.

-Tristan Tucker

24. New York Knicks: Kyle Filipowski, center, Duke

I believe the Knicks will look to add at the center position after trading for Mikal Bridges on Tuesday and it is very likely the Knicks lose Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency. The Knicks need another center on the roster if they can’t retain Hartenstein because although Mitchell Robinson is a good center, he is injury-prone and struggles to stay healthy in crucial moments for New York. Filipowski is young and there may be growing pains, but the upside is high. Filipowski can stretch the floor on offense and can hold his own as a playmaker, however his defense is a cause for concern.

-Gram Tucker

25. New York Knicks: Tyler Kolek, guard, Marquette

I don’t see the Knicks using both of their back-to-back selections even after mortgaging most of their future picks for Mikal Bridges on Tuesday night. Trading one or both picks down to recoup some assets absolutely feels like the right play, especially with the talent that is sure to be available in the second round.

If they stay put or are able to trade down not much further than this, Kolek makes a ton of sense as a third guard off the bench who brings experience and some of the best court vision in the class. I’ve seen some of express reservations about what kind of prospect Kolek is, considering players who fit his archetype don’t often pan out, let alone provide first round value. But Kolek’s ability to score in bunches, space the floor and of course, serve as potentially the outright best passer in the class, eases any concern I have.

A contending team should pick Kolek and understand what he is. We all just witnessed T.J. McConnell fit a niche Kolek could grow into, providing a clear pathway for success. I view him as a high-floor prospect and he should be getting consideration as high as No. 15 to Miami, even if that is a bit rich for me.

-Tristan Tucker

26. Washington Wizards: Kyshawn George, wing, Miami

The Wizards drafted Sarr earlier and, assuming that actually happens, the Wizards should look to draft a player with high upside to align with their timeline of young players. George is an above average playmaker and shooter with solid upside. If Sarr isn’t the pick at two then the Wizards will likely look to add a big man here, assuming they take Risacher at two. 

-Gram Tucker

Tristan note: I have George extremely close on my board to Jaylen Wells. Similar players.

27. Minnesota Timberwolves: Johnny Furphy, wing/forward, Kansas

It’s fair to question whether Minnesota — which was recently on the precipice of securing its first-ever NBA Finals appearance — will use this pick. It’s even fairer to question whether they’d look at such a young, late-blooming prospect like Furphy.

They may very well not use this pick, but the Timberwolves could certainly stand to pair some size with shooting in their lineup, and I think Furphy could contribute earlier than expected in that regard.

-Tristan Tucker

28. Denver Nuggets: Bobi Klintman, forward, Cairns

The Nuggets will be looking to add to their second unit this offseason after their bench unit was worse this year compared to two years ago when they won the championship. I have Denver selecting Klintman, but wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to draft DaRon Holmes II from Dayton instead.

Klintman is a boom-or-bust player, but the Nuggets could look to draft him for his high upside. Klintman’s strongest attribute is his defense, but he can also shoot the ball well. Klintman may not develop into a star in Denver, but can still be solid for them. 

-Gram Tucker

29. Utah Jazz: DaRon Holmes II, center/forward, Dayton

I don’t think there’s a chance Holmes makes it past Denver at No. 28. But since this is how the board fell in our mock, he falls here. Holmes has been on draft radars for a while and seems to be a consensus favorite or sleeper among online evaluators. 

Holmes has a deep bag he displayed on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Given Utah’s reported willingness to discuss Walker Kessler in trades, selecting a center makes some level of sense from a fit perspective.

-Tristan Tucker

30. Portland Trail Blazers: Adem Bona, forward/center, UCLA

The Celtics will more than likely trade this pick, as Brad Stevens has shown he isn’t afraid to trade draft picks. If the Celtics decide to stay put at No. 30 then I look for them to draft a big because Kristaps Porzingis may have to miss time at the start of the regular season next year and Al Horford just turned 38 three weeks ago.

Bona is the best available center on the board, having the capability to be one of the best defenders in the class and showing the ability to guard all positions. Bona’s downside is his offensive game, Bona is not a good shooter and really only effective around the rim on offense. Bona’s lack of a three-point shot may be too much for Boston, who shot the most threes in the NBA last season and they may elect to go a different at No. 30, which may be an even more enticing reason to trade back in this draft. 

-Gram Tucker

Tristan note: Bona’s developed into one of my favorite players in the class.

SECOND ROUND

31. Toronto Raptors - Pacome Dadiet, wing, Ratiopharm Ulm

Tristan note: I don’t think there’s a reason Dadiet should fall to the second round.

32. Utah Jazz - Kevin McCullar Jr., wing, Kansas

33. Milwaukee Bucks - Jalen Bridges

Tristan note: One of my favorite players in the class who can help a team now.

34. Portland Trail Blazers - Ajay Mitchell, guard, UCSB

Tristan note: Mitchell is a top-20 player on my board.

35. San Antonio Spurs - Cam Christie, wing, Minnesota

36. Indiana Pacers - Justin Edwards, wing/forward, Kentucky

37. Minnesota Timberwolves - Baylor Scheierman, guard/forward, Creighton

Tristan note: Another guy I think has a real chance to be a first rounder.

38. New York Knicks - Jonathan Mogbo, forward, San Francisco

39. Memphis Grizzlies - Ryan Dunn, wing, Virginia

Tristan note: It sounds like the Knicks like Dunn for one of their first-rounders.

40. Portland Trail Blazers - Oso Ighodaro, forward, Marquette

41. Philadelphia 76ers - Melvin Ajinca, wing, Saint Quentin

42. Charlotte Hornets - Harrison Ingram, forward, North Carolina

43. Miami Heat - Dillon Jones, forward, Weber State

44. Houston Rockets - Juan Nunez, guard, Ratiopharm Ulm

Tristan note: A favorite of mine who has solid instincts at the lead guard position.

45. Sacramento Kings - Nikola Djurisic, wing, Mega

Tristan note: Another favorite in this class, Djurisic stepped up to competition he faced every step of the way.

46. Los Angeles Clippers - Tristen Newton, guard, UConn

47. Orlando Magic - Jaylen Wells, forward/wing, Washington

48. San Antonio Spurs - A.J. Johnson, wing, Illawarra

49. Indiana Pacers - K.J. Simpson, guard, Colorado

50. Indiana Pacers - Ariel Hukporti, center, Melbourne United

51. Washington Wizards - Jamal Shead, guard, Houston

52. Golden State Warriors - Antonio Reeves, wing, Kentucky

53. Detroit Pistons - Cam Spencer, wing, UConn

54. Boston Celtics - Terrence Shannon Jr., wing, Illinois

55. Los Angeles Lakers - Bronny James, guard, USC

56. Denver Nuggets - Pelle Larsson, wing, Arizona

57. Memphis Grizzlies - Trentyn Flowers, wing, Adelaide

58. Dallas Mavericks - Keshad Johnson, forward, Arizona

THE BEST OF THE REST

Considering I only accounted for half of the picks in this exercise, I wanted to provide a running list of prospects I really like that we didn’t fit on this:

Reece Beekman, guard, Virginia

One of the best defenders in the class bar none. Rivals Jamal Shead for best guard defender.

Trey Alexander, guard, Creighton

A long-time favorite of mine who has first-round upside.

Isaiah Crawford, guard, Louisiana Tech

Maybe my single favorite player in the class. Can stretch the floor and is a terrific shot-blocker for his size. This year’s Craig Porter Jr.

PJ Hall, forward, Clemson

Just a terrific guy who was kind enough to talk with me for a long time at last year’s combine. Did some awesome things on the court this year too and can be a solid backup big.

Armel Traore, forward, ADA Blois

Given all the hype around the Frenchmen in this year’s class, I’m shocked to see Traore not go higher in consensus mocks. He was incredibly productive next to Victor Wembanyama last year and came into his own this year.

RayJ Dennis, guard, Baylor

A bit on the older side but provided value all across the court throughout his college career, even as he moved up to the Big 12.

Nae’Qwan Tomlin, forward, Memphis

I love defenders and bigs who can space the floor while being highly efficient in the interior. Tomlin checks all those boxes.

Keion Brooks Jr., forward, Washington

Highly productive in the final season of the PAC-12 and isn’t getting enough buzz.

Mohamed Diarra, forward, NC State

Should be a lock for a two-way contract given his size, shot-blocking abilities, rebounding and outside shot.

N’Faly Dante, center, Oregon

What else is there to say about Dante other than the fact that he’s a dude?

Drew Pember, forward, UNC Asheville

Everyone’s favorite sleeper last year that was forgotten for some reason. Want to see him in Summer League.

Babacar Sane, G League Ignite

A highly rated prospect who tested well and should be given the same benefit of the doubt as other prospects.

Quinn Ellis, guard, Trento

Another overseas guard with great instincts at point guard.

Jamison Battle, wing, Ohio State

Maybe the single best shooter in the class.

Quinten Post, center, Boston College

A highly productive big who has tangible skills tailor-made for the next level.

Bryson Warren, wing, Sioux Falls Skyforce

A non-traditional path for Warren who impressed against NBA players in the G League.

Jaylin Williams, forward, Auburn

No, not that Jaylin Williams. A productive forward who can come in as a veteran rookie.

Emanuel Miller, forward, TCU

Another highly productive forward prospect.

RaeQuan Battle, wing, West Virignia

An underrated wing who missed a ton of time this season.

Vonterius Woolbright, wing, Western Carolina

The coolest name in the class, bar none.

Tristan Enaruna, wing, Cleveland State

Well, maybe bar one.
