2024 Draft Prospects

[Mavs2021]

Was looking at the Mock draft a little earlier and I swear it was like a NBA2k draft board with madeup names

Looked at a few highlight tapes and no one looked special
Truly a year for the Wizards to get the #1 pick

This looks like a draft, where you gain little from having the top picks, but you´ll probably find some value down the board, when prejudices prevail (too old, unathletic etc.)

I´m surprised Melvin Ajinca ranks so low in this weak draft (2nd round). He´s also injured and won´t participate in any predraft workouts. Did we give Alexis a championship ring for 2011? Maybe Dirk told his nephew to shut it down and let´s stay home.   

Anyway I´m always impressed, when a young kid leads a 2nd division team to promotion against grown men and earns POTY in the process. I seem to remember a certain Dirk Nowitzki doing the same in Germany. Also had a good youth FIBA U19 tournament for France, leading scorer on their silver medal team. His game seems pretty raw, but he clearly has the physical tools. More on the gamble/project side, but at 6´8 another positoinal fit.

Then I´d say his comparison is Isaac Bonga, and we could always sign the ready made version next summer as Dante Exum 2.0.
