There’s no franchise savior sitting at the top of the 2024 NBA Draft on par with Victor Wembanyama. Instead, next year’s draft class features a wide range of candidates who could conceivably emerge as the No. 1 overall pick. Now that the 2023 draft is behind us, it’s time to look ahead at the players expected to be selected in the first round of the 2024 draft. There’s a chance the first two picks in the 2024 draft are teammates. Matas Buzelis and Ron Holland will both play for the G League Ignite next season, and begin the draft cycle at the top of our board. The top prospect in college basketball is USC point guard Isaiah Collier. Of course, Collier will not be the most well-known prospect on the Trojans. That honor belongs to Bronny James, son of LeBron James, who also begins the year as a projected lottery pick. The 2024 draft is expected to feature more returning college players than this past draft. Duke’s Kyle Filipowski, UConn’s Donovan Clingan, and Texas’ Dillon Mitchell are three sophomores with lottery potential. There’s also a strong group of international players, led by another talented Frenchman in 6’8 wing Zaccharie Risacher.
