I like Steph in San Antonio. Great for exposure and I just don't see his shooting being a problem in 1-2 years, so that should work realy nicely with Wemby.

For some reason No Ceilings doesn't include Vecenie at the Athletic on there. Maybe he didn't update soon enough (but I think he said he was doing one soon).

Probably depends on workouts but I don’t see Dillingham and certainly don’t see Sheppard going over Steph. May be biased but…

Risacher has been playing awful the last couple months, not sure what the scouts see in him.

2024 NBA Mock Draft 1.0: How high will Zach Edey and Donovan Clingan go? | Fox Sports

Perth Wildcats center Alex Sarr seems to be the consensus No. 1 overall pick, but what does the rest of the draft look like? Jason McIntyre breaks it down.

Castle at 4
Clingan at 5
Newton at 22

 

[Iluvsuebird]

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.

How can you be higher than “top 10 picks”?

Has Karaban going early 30’s. If that’s the case he isn’t coming back

Has Karaban going early 30’s. If that’s the case he isn’t coming back

Big Board, not mock, if that's any consolation. Vecenie would take him in the 30s, not necessarily what teams will do. His last mock from February had him early 40s.

 

[Karmacop]

How can you be higher than “top 10 picks”?

As in, both in the Top 5. Which seems possible given the latest mocks.

what's the difference between a big board and a mock draft? Doesn't take fit into account?

Right, he's just ranking the best players without thinking about what team is picking where.

Mock will include fit and lottery results eventually.

 

[auror]

what's the difference between a big board and a mock draft? Doesn't take fit into account?

Other people mentioned fit, but also mock is more based on league consensus and intel for where a player's range is, while big board is more of a personal assessment (while obviously recognizing that any of our opinions are shaped by those we talk to, so there is some league consensus baked in).

 

[Scrutineer]

I sure hope someone here (maybe mini-maddog) will keep all these mock draft predictions and rank them after the draft so we can mock all these "experts".
