2024 NBA Mock Drafts

This guy was higher than most on Andre Jackson going into the draft. Just shared his perspective on 2024 and DC and SC are both lotto. He lists Jaylin Stewart in his "Tier 4" which is the first time I've seen anyone mention Jaylin for 2024.

Are we sleeping on Stewart?

Castle we sure hops is a stud who shoots well enough. Clingan has to show a lot more than last year to go top 20.

To the contrary, it would take a major regress and/or a serious medical concern for Clingan to fall out of the top 20 next year (neither being impossible, of course). Smart analysts, such as Sam Vecenie, correctly saw him in the 20-ish range had he declared this year. We're lucky he's betting on his ceiling as a top-10 pick.

High ceiling guy for sure. He has a deep bag. I haven't seen the effeciency or defense to warrant draft interest yet.

If those are his two issues he came to the correct school. We all know those are probably two things Hurley teaches the best, good shot efficiency and defense.

I will say he did take a lot of challenged/forced shots but they appeared to be shots his coach was more than OK with him taking, so it will be interesting to see how quickly he adjusts.
 
I do agree that the sentiment is between 2023 and 2004. I think 2004 is the right answer. But on the right track that the ceilings of this year and 2004 were higher than any other team. Not even to say the 1999 or 2011 teams weren’t “better” than this years. But goodness when 2023 and 2004 got rolling the firepower was so much more than the other 3 teams.

Is Jaylin on campus yet?

i’m surprised that karaban wasn’t mentioned in earlier mocks. the guy obviously showed that he can defend throughout the tournament. can shoot the ball & maybe 6’9? unless something goes left, he’s in that draft.

His recruiting profile says 6’7. If he’s 6’9 now that would help his NBA prospects a lot. At 6’7 he may have to show he can play the 3 more.

In pictures where Karaban is next to Sanogo, he looks slightly shorter. He’s probably 6’6/6’6.5 without shoes right now

I don't think he's more than 6'7" He's tall enough for the 4, if he gets stronger. But no matter what he'd need to have enough agility to switch and take SF and SG defensively, so I expect he's working on that too.

I present to you the worst 2024 big board I have ever seen. No Clingan, and - wait for it - Judah Mintz at #1. I figured we could all use a good laugh.

His take on not having Clingan in there was enough for me to just move on and laugh. Would be shocked if he has seen him play at all.

Donovan Clingan, notably terrible vertical spacer.

Could be a quintessential 3 and D guy, especially if he gets even better at moving off the ball and finding space

Other than shooting, his best attribute IS moving the ball. He's a fantastic passer and doesn't turn it over--it's a major reason we won the chip this year. And he is not the caliber of athlete to be a great defender at the NBA level.

This take is pretty wildly off the mark.

I said moving off the ball and finding space, not moving the ball

And I mean if he is going to play in the NBA he’s going to have to defend despite his lower athletic ceiling
 
Hoping Alex is so good offensively that he forces teams hands in the draft. Don’t envision a world where he’s ever a positive defensively in the league.
