The Ringer's 2024 NBA Draft Guide

Who will go no. 1 this year? The race couldn't be more open. We rank the top prospects in this year’s class and unveil our latest mock draft.

Really cool to see O’Connor has Steph and DC 1 and 2 on his overall Big Board.

Weird though that he has them going 6th and 7th respectively. Team fits obviously, but I think DC goes a good bit higher at the very least.

Don’t love the Hornets for SC and Blazers for DC. Really need to avoid those at all costs.
 
San Antonio may take Steph. But can you imagine Clingan and Wemby together? Opponents scores would look like the days when the Pistons had Ben and Sheed or Rick Mahorn and Bill Lambeer destroying everyone LOL...

Danny says Hawks HC Quin Snyder really likes DC but you never know if they will unload Trae Young in a trade package and draft picks and they trade out of the #1 slot. A dark horse for DC( because of the familiarity with the UConn Program) could be OKC and Mark Daigneault. They have been saying they think Chet's natural position is as a stretch 4 and wouldn't mind pairing him with a traditional 5. OKC would obviously have to improve their draft position and/or find a trade partner for a draft and trade scenario.

Next 2 weeks will be crazy re: DC and SC. NBA teams playing alot of poker right now leading up to the Draft.

For what it’s worth, based on the players the Wizards have worked out to date, they are considering drafting Clingan at 2 and Newton at 51.
 
Hurley takes a pretty obvious shot at the Charlotte Hornets. Talking about the upcoming daft he says the important thing is not your draft number, it's about the organization and do they do things that UConn does. "So you don't have your players in the situation that James Bouknight finds himself"

Wow!!!

As we all know, that situation was certainly not all on the Hornets.

That was going to happen to Bouknight no matter which team drafted him. He has had plenty of good people in his ear that he didn't listen to. Charlotte even had that kid from uconn come to try to babysit him.

I'm not saying that Charlotte is a good organization. They haven't been. Hopefully it changes with the new regime.

You won't find a bigger Bouknight fan than me. I loved him as a UConn player as much, if not more than Boat (my co-favorite player), but anyone who is paying attention at all knows Bouk's failure to confirm and work hard are responsible for his demise. This one isn't on the Hornets. Devin Booker level talent with no focus or work ethic, imo.

I wonder if Bouknight fits the criteria today that Hurley looks for in a player.

Yes. He was way, way overlooked in HS because of an injury. There weren't any indications (that I recall) before he got to UConn that he was going to be a headcase. But who knows... maybe there was some stuff behind-the-scenes we took a risk on that wouldn't be necessary now that we have more pull with recruits.

Keep an eye on OKC, some stuff coming up they want Clingon and may also get in on Drummond, that's almost enough to make me a fan. And non-Huskie related, I heard they could be looking to trade Giddy too
 
Who was supposed to win this series? All the talking heads I've seen said Dallas.

What did Vegas think?

NBA mock draft: 58 picks as trade talks heat up for 30 teams

With the draft a week away, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo share what they're hearing on players and moves from around the league.

Castle up to #4 to Spurs and DC #7 to Portland, Cam #48 to Spurs as well and the disrespect still for TN

Clingan is clearly in play at #1, though.

Clingan appears to be Risacher's main rival at No. 1. His workout -- where he shot the ball extremely well, showed surprisingly good passing ability operating out of short rolls and was impressive both in film study and in interviews -- helped his draft standing and makes him as possible sleeper selection here, as we've discussed for several weeks.

Will not be surprised when he gets a triple double in the nba.

I would be, but I admit that would be incredibly cool.
 
Hard to make sense of Sarr snubbing the Hawks to go to the dumpster fire in Washington. This reminds me of when Orlando didn't bring Banchero for a workout as a smokescreen and then picked him #1 to everyone's surprise.
