2024 NBA MOCK DRAFT - NBA DRAFT: BRONNY JAMES DRAFT
I have to be honest with you, this draft doesn't look loaded. There's a lot of good players to offer, but there's not a consensus great player that stands out amongst everyone else. Nobody looks like they can come in and completely change the fortune of a franchise. Not yet, anyway. We'll see how the season progresses or if anyone makes any huge leaps this year.
TOP TALENT: B-
DEPTH OF PLAYERS: B+
- Rockets get Nets 1st, unprotected (James Harden trade)
- Pacers get the worst of the Thunder picks (Clippers, Jazz, Thunder, Rockets) via Nuggets (in exchange for 2029 first rounder)
- Hawks get Kings 1st, top 14 protected (Huerter trade)
- Blazers get Warriors 1st via Celtics and Grizzlies
- Thunder get Clippers 1st, unprotected (Paul George trade)
- Wizards have right to swap 1st’s with Suns (Brad Beal trade)
2024 DRAFT - NBA DRAFT: BRONNY JAMES DRAFT (UPDATED 04/20/20
1. ATLANTA HAWKS - PG ROB DILLINGHAM
3. HOUSTON ROCKETS (FROM THE BROOKLYN NETS) - PF/C ALEXANDRE SARR
2. WASHINGTON WIZARDS - GUARD NIKOLA TOPIC
POINT GUARD ROB DILLINGHAM | 6'3 175 LBS | KENTUCKY | FRESHMAN
Dillingham proved himself to be a baller this year. Out of all of the incoming freshman talent, he looked like the one with the most complete game.
2. WASHINGTON WIZARDS - GUARD NIKOLA TOPIC
3. HOUSTON ROCKETS (FROM THE BROOKLYN NETS) - PF/C ALEXANDRE SARR
2. WASHINGTON WIZARDS - GUARD NIKOLA TOPIC
POINT GUARD NIKOLA TOPIC | 6'6 200 LBS | SERBIA | DRAFT AGE 18
intriguing prospect, very polished at just 18 years old. Can run the point and has excellent range and great shooting touch. In a draft with no consensus #1 player, he could have the potential to go #1.
3. HOUSTON ROCKETS (FROM THE BROOKLYN NETS) - PF/C ALEXANDRE SARR
3. HOUSTON ROCKETS (FROM THE BROOKLYN NETS) - PF/C ALEXANDRE SARR
3. HOUSTON ROCKETS (FROM THE BROOKLYN NETS) - PF/C ALEXANDRE SARR
FORWARD/CENTER ALEXANDRE SARR | 7'1 220 LBS | FRANCE
Sarr has a lot of potential both defensively and as a scorer. He has good length and is a good athlete.
4. SAN ANTONIO SPURS - GUARD STEPHON CASTLE
5. DETROIT PISTONS - FORWARD ZACCHARIE RISACHER
3. HOUSTON ROCKETS (FROM THE BROOKLYN NETS) - PF/C ALEXANDRE SARR
GUARD/FORWARD STEPHON CASTLE | 6'6 200 LBS | UCONN FRESHMAN
High School Senior Statistics: 22 PPG, 7 Rebounds, 6 Assists
Gifted athlete with good size, an NBA-ready body. Strong, explosive, takes good care of the ball, good passer, can finish well around the rim. Has great shooting touch and range on his shot. Able to knock down the 3. Has a very high ceiling. Has tons of potential, could be worthy of that #1 pick if he could tap into all of that talent before the draft.
5. DETROIT PISTONS - FORWARD ZACCHARIE RISACHER
5. DETROIT PISTONS - FORWARD ZACCHARIE RISACHER
5. DETROIT PISTONS - FORWARD ZACCHARIE RISACHER
FORWARD ZACCHARIE RISACHER | 6'9 200 LBS | FRANCE
Versatile player with good size at the forward position for the skill set that he has.
6. CHARLOTTE HORNETS - GUARD REED SHEPPARD
5. DETROIT PISTONS - FORWARD ZACCHARIE RISACHER
5. DETROIT PISTONS - FORWARD ZACCHARIE RISACHER
GUARD REED SHEPPARD | 6'3 190 LBS | KENTUCKY | FRESHMAN
Excellent shooter and feel for the game. Gets tons of assists.
After letting Malik Monk go in free agency so that James Bouknight could potentially take over. That failed miserably. Time to reset and try to get it right this time.
7. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS - C DONOVAN CLINGAN
7. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS - C DONOVAN CLINGAN
7. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS - C DONOVAN CLINGAN
CENTER DONOVAN CLINGAN | 7'2 265 LBS | UCONN | SOPHOMORE
8. SAN ANTONIO SPURS - PG ISAIAH COLLIER
7. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS - C DONOVAN CLINGAN
7. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS - C DONOVAN CLINGAN
GUARD ISAIAH COLLIER | 6'3 195 LBS | USC FRESHMAN
Senior Season Statistics: 20.2 PPG, 6.8 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3
Collier was way ahead of the competition in high school, it was too easy. He sees the floor like someone older and more experienced, he's way ahead of his time. Has a high basketball IQ and great understanding of the game.
Collier struggled a little bit in his freshman year at USC, but that's to be expected from a true freshman. He would have been better suited going to play for someone like Kentucky or Duke last season. I don't like the college choice; USC didn't do much to progress his obvious talent. Coach Pop will fix that and get Collier back on the right track. The Spurs need a good point guard, and Collier and certainly play the position with some development. He already has pro strength.
9. MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES - FORWARD MATAS BUZELIS
7. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS - C DONOVAN CLINGAN
9. MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES - FORWARD MATAS BUZELIS
FORWARD MATAS BUZELIS | 6'10 190 LBS | G-LEAGUE IGNITE
Buzelis has a lot of skill, but he doesn't have a takeover mentality. He'll play within the limit of the offensive scheme, which will make him a good role player in the league. Someone that compliments other players well.
10. UTAH JAZZ - FORWARD RON HOLLAND
12. OKC THUNDER (FROM ROCKETS) - PF KYLE FILIPOWSKI
9. MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES - FORWARD MATAS BUZELIS
RONALD HOLLAND | 6'7 200 LBS | G-LEAGUE IGNITE | FRESHMAN
Holland is an intriguing prospect because he's the last in line for the NBA's Development-League.
11. CHICAGO BULLS - GUARD JA'KOBE WALTER
12. OKC THUNDER (FROM ROCKETS) - PF KYLE FILIPOWSKI
12. OKC THUNDER (FROM ROCKETS) - PF KYLE FILIPOWSKI
GUARD JA'KOB WALTER | 6'5 180 LBS | BAYLOR | FRESHMAN
Walter can shoot the rock. He knows how to score and get the ball in the bucket.
The Bulls struck out with Patrick Williams. At least Coby White has blossomed. Best to take the best talent on their big board and try to develop him.
12. OKC THUNDER (FROM ROCKETS) - PF KYLE FILIPOWSKI
12. OKC THUNDER (FROM ROCKETS) - PF KYLE FILIPOWSKI
12. OKC THUNDER (FROM ROCKETS) - PF KYLE FILIPOWSKI
POWER FORWARD/CENTER KYLE FILIPOWSKI | DUKE | SOPHOMORE
The Thunder add some needed size for the rotation, and a smart player at that. It would be cool to see them take Jalin Williams' brother, Cody Williams, instead.
2024 DRAFT - NBA DRAFT: BRONNY JAMES DRAFT
13. SACRAMENTO KINGS - C ZACH EDEY
14. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS (FROM WARRIORS) - FORWARD CODY WILLIAMS
14. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS (FROM WARRIORS) - FORWARD CODY WILLIAMS
CENTER ZACH EDEY | 7'2 270 LBS | PURDUE | SENIOR
The Kings don't like to develop talent. Lately, they have drafted upper-classmen that are already developed. Needing some size depth, Edey could be the target.
14. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS (FROM WARRIORS) - FORWARD CODY WILLIAMS
14. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS (FROM WARRIORS) - FORWARD CODY WILLIAMS
14. PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS (FROM WARRIORS) - FORWARD CODY WILLIAMS
FORWARD CODY WILLIAMS | 6'8 185 LBS | COLORADO | FRESHMAN
15. MIAMI HEAT - FORWARD DALTON KNECHT
16. RAPTORS (FROM PACERS) - C KEL'EL WARE
16. RAPTORS (FROM PACERS) - C KEL'EL WARE
FORWARD DALTON KNECHT | 6'6 210 LBS | TENNESSEE
These are the type of players that the Heat exec Pat Riley tend to like. Smart, experienced, skilled players that are versatile.
16. RAPTORS (FROM PACERS) - C KEL'EL WARE
16. RAPTORS (FROM PACERS) - C KEL'EL WARE
16. RAPTORS (FROM PACERS) - C KEL'EL WARE
CENTER KEL'EL WARE | 7'0 220 LBS | INDIANA
Embiid's knee looks terrible and 30 years old is right around the corner for him. Time to start developing this 20 year old for the future.
NBA MOCK DRAFT CONTINUED...
2ND ROUND #38. LOS ANGELES LAKERS - GUARD BRONNY JAMES
BRONNY JAMES JR | 6'2 190 LBS | USC
Seems unlikely, right? No, not at all. LeBron isn't getting any younger. If he genuinely wants to play with his son, Bronny will have to enter the draft as early as possible. I have him going to the Lakers in the 2nd round at pick #38. This is exactly what LeBron wants, and he can stay with the Lakers on top of it. It works out for everyone, the only question I don't know is if Bronny Jr wants to play with his father. I would assume that he does.
Don't sleep on Bronny's game though. At 6'2, he's not your traditional point guard, he plays off of the ball; similarly to Seth Curry. He's a great catch-and-shoot player that is by far a better shooter than his father was at this point in his career. Bronny is much more athletic than Seth Curry though, and as a result, should also be a much better defender. Think more of a Gary Payton Jr on defense with his compact frame and athletic ability.
