Meet the #1 Pick in the 2024 NBA Draft

So many people have trashed the 2024 NBA Draft. People compare it to the 2013 Draft when legendary bust Anthony Bennett was picked first. But we also saw multiple Hall of Famers taken that night including Giannis Antetokounmpo! This is a closer look at the best players on Draft night and who could go number one.

[@randomNpointless]

I hope some day Nikola Jokic, Nikola Jovic, and Nikola Topic can team up

[@bleaztly]

Lmao

[@rigoreis]

...and Vucevic and Mirotic

[@RomnysGonzalez]

Nikola Jokic with the outlet pass to Nikola Topic for the LOB to Nikola Jovic. That's my wet dream scenario

[@ghost6298]

[@bassmin954]

i like how people keep calling drafts bad before even knowing how the players are going to develop once they are in the nba

[@brettdowney44]

Everyone was saying that about the 2020 draft class before and after the draft and it’s turning out to be one of the best classes in recent memories

[@iketurner_]

I guess its just not as potential star heavy as like . 2017 as an example

[@toptiercrip]

Most of the dudes are unknown that's why

[@3rr1k_]

because there’s no big names and hyped up talents like wemby, bron, zion and more. the only recognizable names are maybe ron holland (i know him from 2k sims), DJ wagner (2k Sim goat) and rob dillingham who let’s be real got that OTE hype. only called a weak draft class because there’s no big names

[@juiceman_3]

It’s because social media hasn’t told them who is going to number 1

[@willn8664]

Kobe was bashing the AAU for years and people thought he was joking.

[@timotheeeee]

*was

[@jblack530]

Thats because all Americans care about is scoring. Real students of the game knew AAU spoiled and created bad habits in players.

[@kentstallard6512]

Nikola is a really popular name there and in almost any era there is a famous nikola to be named after. Kind of like michael/mike or smthng in america.

I believe every NBA Draft ever has had an all-star come from that class, so getting the #1 pick is still big no matter what year. Kenyon Martin was still an all-star and a key member of two Eastern Conference championship-winning teams.

Great Video Casey 🎯💯

[@jaxsonbateman]

I can vouch for Sarr - he plays for our NBL team here in Perth. Almost surely the best player on the team (Bryce Cotton is pretty good too, but even if you considered their current level neck and neck Sarr has more ceiling and is a much bigger player). Went to my first live game in a while a few weeks ago and it's really impressive watching him in person (compared to other NBL players).

[@grantsimper5431]

great vid

[@Mr.NBA07]

I think that Ron Holland should’ve also been in this video, I am very high on his playstyle on both offense and defense, and when people come back to this draft in 5 years I have a strong feeling he will be at least top 5.

[@milosruss]

When I heard Topic I had flashbacks from the past. :D

[@rainey06au]

Alex Sarr was very underwhelming in the Australian NBL. I presume they had him on limited minutes, but in our league a #1 prospect should absolutely stand out as a difference maker to a team, but he was a role player off the bench at best.

[@jordanjustinger4289]

Such a good diverse group of players. I think sarr is the obvious number one, but yeah honestly it depends on the draft order. I think the top 8-10 players in this draft will develop into starters, maybe a few all stars but more than a few teams will be happy with who they select

For the same reason why European pro basketball leagues limit the number of international players in their leagues......

[@nydibs]

Bc Americans automatically lose interest in the product

[@Red_Ryan_Red]

Big babies complaining is all.

[@yubbityyubba7749]

it definitely is a pride thing. Americans always talk about how they would dominate football (soccer) and other sports if they cared about them. but now that basketball has gotten a tiny bit of popularity in some European countries, they have started to dominate and take over the NBA. It probably is tough for Americans to come to terms with the fact that they arent as great as they thought they were@@mekacrab

The Spurs are scouting Risacher heavy too.

[@mick4ful]

Don’t mind if I don’t know them yet tbh, I can enjoy both stronger and weaker classes wondering, predicting, watching games more to form opinions and just go off of that. If you feel special about someone who’s lesser known still then buy his rookie card for cheap, anything memorabilia or signed so you can have it for sentimental value and/or he becomes more known and you can truly say you’re a #1 fan. I’m sure these aren’t all just jobbers and the NBA is the best talent in the world can say, competition like that can help growth with the right mindset. That’s what I’d like to get out of a draft like this
