Message: [QUOTE="ToolzieFan, post: 5043831, member: 7018"] The alleged weakness of the 2024 draft class is all about the perceived lack of talent at the top. There are very few rookies expected to start this year, and there aren’t players considered to be likely All-NBA talents, even though several players will of course exceed expectations (hopefully ours). From Vecenie’s 2025 mock draft referenced in this thread: [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/nba/'][I][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]NBA[/COLOR][/I][/URL][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][I] executives are much more enthusiastic about this one than the 2024 version. Simply put, the talent at the top of this draft is drastically better. There are at least five players in this class who would have been taken No. 1 in the 2024 NBA Draft had they been eligible.[/I] Also: [I]In that vein, this list is not meant to be read in a specific order outside of the top five. Consider it more of a watch list or a guide to peruse as we go through the start of this process.[/I][/COLOR] [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5580289/2024/07/10/2025-nba-mock-draft-cooper-flagg-dylan-harper-prospects/?source=user_shared_article']2025 NBA mock draft: Cooper Flagg is the prize, but entire class is intriguing[/URL] [/QUOTE]
