The 2024 NBA Draft is Wide Open

In today's video, I take my first look at the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft. Seen as one of the weakest classes in recent memory, this year's draft doesn't have the typical excitement surrounding it as previous ones have had, but as always, there will be at least one player that makes this class worth monitoring. Featured in this video are guys like Alex Sarr, Zaccharie Risacher, Nikola Topic, Matas Buzelis, Ron Holland, Rob Dillingham, Reed Sheppard, Donovan Clingan, and Stephon Castle; all of whom have a real chance to be the face of the 2024 NBA Draft.

I'm pretty convinced that if Rob Dillingham gets to the right spot, preferably the Spurs, he's going to blow up and be the star of this draft. Wemby would cover his weak defensive. All he needs to do is run the point and score.

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

Agreed. Funny that you mentioned San Antonio because that's exactly the fit I had in mind during the video hahaha.

[@user-io4sr7vg1v]

Doesn't seem like a Spur type of player tbh.

[@seanknox5785]

Dillingham and Knecht 4 and 8 SATX Go Spurs Go. If that happens SA will make at very least the play ins

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

@@seanknox5785 lol I have a mock draft coming out soon and that’s exactly what I have for them

[@TheTH3KILL3Rz]

Sarr is a consensus #1 to me. 7”1, mobile af, can immediately be a team’s top 3 defender. Offensive mechanics are there, not top notch but it’ll come around eventually. Has also played in a legit pro league.

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

The more I watch the more I'm with you. Feels like he's the most surefire thing in that first tier.

[@addytrolla2535]

Sarr has crazy potential and he's a great athlete already at 18. He's only playing 17 minutes a game though, so its hard to know what you're getting. He seems very tentative but well skilled on offence. He has no shooting range but he's already very good on defence.

[@VocalChainsStudio]

If The Spurs get that dude, it's OVER for the league. Hopefully The Blazers can move up and get him to pair with Ayton. Holland would be a nice prospect to add, too.

[@MimieThalie]

​​@@VocalChainsStudiohe's like Wemby, very polyvalent.. I hope saying them together . Risacher is polyvalent too. He has exceptionnals qualities but his mental and concentration are not always good.. But his professionnal esperience is an other avantage. Topic is exceptionnal, and could be the perfect complementary team player for Wemby..

[@308Karl]

Dalton Knecht for sure

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

If he can just be viable defensively he definitely can be a starter somewhere

[@308Karl]

@@BobbyDouglasBasketball I could see him turn into an RJ Barrett or a Luka Doncic type of scorer

This is the ultimate role player draft class, which isn't necessarily a negative. Similar to the 2013 draft class, excluding Giannis.

[@johndavids8488]

Great video man!

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

Appreciate it!

[@romainviry3185]

Tidjane Salaun is in the early video but no "scouting" report on him in the vid. Many consider him a very intriguing top 10 prospect, he's only 18

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

Yeah Salaun is interesting for sure. I think at the moment for me though he’s just a touch below the main guys I highlighted.

[@benjaminlim3921]

Only sarr is a potential nba star

[@scottwickett1273]

@@benjaminlim3921 You have no idea if that's true or not, you're merely guessing.

2024 nba mock draft 1.) Portland Trail Blazers Alexander Sarr 2.) Detroit Pistons Ron Holland 3.) Washington Wizards Donovan Clingan 4.) San Antonio Spurs Zaccharie Risacher 5.) Charlotte Hornets Reed Sheppard 6.) Memphis Grizzlies Stephon Castle 7.) San Antonio Spurs Rob Dillingham 8.) Utah Jazz Nikola Topic 9.) Houston Rockets Matas Buzelis 10.)

[@addytrolla2535]

As a Spurs fan I'd be happy with this one

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

Bulls fan here. I'd be very happy with Walter at 11.

[@MimieThalie]

Castel could be a good choice for the Spurs too.. If they have the 4th choice, no chance they can have Sarr or Risacher for me. They'll be 1 and 2 . Perrhaps Topic, why not. What a disaster ! ( I know, I may bit to much, but I'm French) 😢 Perrhaps Salaün too. 😂

[@B3GINNER]

If Bronny's 4 ppg doesn't land him a top 10 spot.....

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

Rigged

[@scootover7]

Well ESPN is looking for a new savior when Lebron retires .

[@anthonytrevino3191]

Castle is going in top 3.

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

I’d have him around there as well. Really like him

[@chrisjonesharris9557]

Ron Holland future star

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

Really think he has the most intriguing tools out of anyone in the class. The defensive hustle and explosion makes him top 5 ish for me with potential to rise.

[@Clarkthefaceofwnba]

Reed Shepard

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

Every time I watch him I like him more and more

[@scootover7]

This to me is the weirdest draft since 2013, I think someone around the 10-15 range will become a star, and then a late first round pick , and possibly a second round pick, I also think things could be based on which team gets the first pick, would the Pistons take Sarr ? We could have a surprise go number 1 maybe Stephon Castle, this draft is definitely wide open. I feel like Topic to the Spurs would be a San Antonio like pick, and he would fill a need and make Wemby's life easier with his passing skills.

[@gpeepssat]

I hope the Spurs don't take Topic

[@BigB_HayesTV]

-Sarr will be a stud -I think dillingham will be a bust something like bones hyland type player Other than that idk whos gonna be good or bad from this class it can go either way for these players

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

Hyland is a good median comp for Dillingham.

[@ifheavenwashuman]

Hyland isn't necessarily a bust, but I agree. I think the expectations surrounding Dillingham need to be tempered.

[@alexnguyen1284]

if i had to predict who is going to be the BEST PLAYER from this draft im going with rob dillingham. He wont get drafted at #1, but i think in 5 or 6 years after this draft everybody will see him as the real #1 in this draft. Just my bold prediction. #1 dillingham #2 castle #3 sarr

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

Dillingham has the upside of a star. Worry about the frame holding up though. Fit matters a TON for him.

[@scottwickett1273]

He's a bench player because he's tiny and can't guard you.

[@TheSmoothViewASMR]

Besides Sarr cause i think he'll be pre decent, it'll be some random wing player after the lottery

[@user-io4sr7vg1v]

Tristen Newton.

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

I like him a lot. Big guard who defends and can operate PnR. Reminds me a little bit of Ayo Dosunmu.

[@Clarkthefaceofwnba]

Zack Edey

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

Big fan of his at the college level. Just not sure how he’ll handle the spacing and more limited offensive role.

[@Clarkthefaceofwnba]

The 2 to the left

[@dboii9741]

Rob dillingham can be the next really good guard in this league if he goes to a team that’ll actually care about his development

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

I think if he can go somewhere where he isn't the primary building block it would really help him.

[@scottwickett1273]

He's a bench player because he's tiny and can't guard you.

[@gpeepssat]

Tiny with no defense like Step Curry?

[@redhorse6652]

What's so great about Cade Cuttinham? His Pistons set an all time record for losing.

[@scottwickett1273]

He is awesome, he just doesn't have any help because the team employs the very worst GM in the history of the sport.

[@emmanuelenyinwa1443]

Bronny James #1 overall pick...

[@BobbyDouglasBasketball]

#1 overall pick in what lol

[@goodlookinghonkey8382]

Peter North from Southern California is the best pick in this draft! He can dribble and can handle the wood

[@Cmez872]

You just gave away your age Bro, I see what you did there 😅😂

[@goodlookinghonkey8382]

Bronny will be the best, solid pick. It'll take a year or two to justify it. ..but he'll eventually be the best pick

[@billysheeley]

Nah...I don't think his will is as strong as his dad's...his younger brother though! Bryce is a stud, and he's gonna be a lot better than Bronny...
