2024 NBA Mock Draft: NCAA champion UConn puts three into first round, joined by Zach Edey

Plenty of college players showed their NBA potential with their performance in the NCAA Tournament

Updated mock draft after the historic repeat last night. UConn putting 3 players into the first round.

5: Clingan to Trail Blazers
8: Castle to the Jazz
30: Newton to the Celtics

If we can continue playing at a high level of team basketball while also putting guys in the NBA year after year we will be tough to beat on the recruiting trail, both high school and portal.

This program is the pinnacle with no signs of slowing down. I remember when Saban won his second title at Alabama, the announcers said (paraphrasing) - "this thing is just getting started too". That's now us on the court.

BR has the following:

5. Castle (Portland)
6. Clingan (Toronto)
51. Newton (Indy)
54. Karaban (Boston)
56. Spencer (Memphis)

Couple of others of note: Devin Carter at 15 to Miami, which should make Carter decide to leave Friars and enter draft. Edey up to 21 to Orlando.

Saw that. Dillingham and Sheppard are NOT going 2 and 3 though lol.
 
Castle and Clingan definitely going in the top 10 picks, maybe higher.

Newton and Cam probably going second round, or at least getting a two-way deal.

Karaban could possibly slip into the second round, could possibly get a two-way contract, or could possibly get neither. Will he increase his draft position by returning? Probably a little bit. As previously mentioned, he's the only question mark.

Show Karaban the money and sell him on being the Big East player of the Year next season. We need him back.

I think he tests the waters to get feedback but ultimately comes back. He has the chance to be even more of a focal point of the offense and show an expanded game next year. Feels like the right answer for a guy that will likely be a mid-second round guy.

I did see 1 mock draft having DC going 5 and Edey going 10 or 11. Oh please I can't have this draft nonsense until June. I'm already burned-out with NFL draft craziness.
 
NBAdraft.net has the below. I do not follow mock drafts too closely and know they are all over the place with accuracy and variances.

Castle - 8 to Houston
Clingan - 14 to Philly
Karaban - 36 to Philly
Spencer - 38 to Memphis
Newton - 44 to Philly

That’s arguably the worst Mock site, wouldn’t put too much thought into that one

Would make my 76ers season tickets worth the cost and not just a business expense
 
Castle and Clingan should be lottery no question.

If we could get Newton into the 1st round that would be an amazing achievement, though I don't think it's likely. Ditto on Spencer getting drafted at all.

If Karaban is only projected as a 2nd rounder, he should come back, and I expect will.

Alex has shooting touch midrange and to the rim. Do you all remember the game where he brought us back shooting on every possession? Usually a guard like Tristen or Cam did it for us, but we got no Tristen next year.

Vecenie Said on his latest podcast that he has both Clingan and Castle in the top 5. He will have all 3 others in there as well when it comes out.

These 3 along with Givony actually move the needle in the draft world to differing degrees.

Castle deserves to go #1. The knock on him is shooting and that's the easiest thing to improve. He has literally everything else.

The euros haven't wow'ed anyone lately. The only American I've seen above Castle lately is Cody Williams.

Cody is a better shooter right now but is weak and couldn’t really shake his defenders well from what I saw. He was also touted as a big time defensive prospect but Steph is significantly better on that end.
