2024 Draft class List

Sarr presents as an above the rim athletic center specializing in defensive versatility with offensive upside. Sarr is a physical player that will battle in the paint but will need to improve his strength to compete effectively at the NBA level. I expect Sarr to earn a role as a consistent starter with All-Star potential. His defensive versatility will allow him to compete for all defensive team recognition.

Reed is a well-rounded guard that threatens the defense with his high-level shooting ability and demonstrates superb defensive instincts to supplement his athleticism. I expect Reed to be a long-term consistent starter or role player playing between 25-35 minutes a game.

Castle presents as a versatile defensive wing with offensive upside. I expect Castle to contribute as a consistent high minute rotational guard/wing combo contributing defensively while developing his offensive game. I believe he has All Star potential.

Risacher presents as an athletic and versatile wing who excels at defense while possessing offensive tools demonstrating two-way upside. I expect Risacher to earn a starting role on an NBA team as a versatile wing primarily contributing as a defender while developing his offensive game.

Knecht presents as a dynamic scorer and dangerous floor spacer that provides adequate length and athleticism to be an average defender. I expect Knecht to earn a consistent role on an NBA roster playing >28 minutes a game either as a starter or a quality reserve. His primary contribution will be as an offensive threat serving between the number one and number three option during his minutes.

Dillingham is a flashy and electric offensive guard who displays quickness and burst. I expect Dillingham to serve as a long-term starting or rotational point guard playing between 25-32 minutes a night effectively contributing to offense but demonstrating inconsistent defensive contributions.

Walter is an all-around guard with the length of a wing who is more suited to play off-ball than as an on-ball creator on offense. I project Walter to contribute as a quality rotational player playing up to 25-30 minutes a game while competing for a starting role. His ceiling is much higher due to his fundamentals and hustle, but overall lack of consistency and growth during the college season concern me. He is best suited to play off-ball but has the ability to create for himself and others as well as contribute as a quality defender.

Carrington demonstrates effective offensive and defensive footwork, ball handling, shooting form, effort, and physicality to project as a quality rotational player but his overall upside is limited secondary to consistency and decision making. I project Carrington as a long-term NBA contributor that will fluctuate between the status as a starter to the seventh or eighth man on a regular rotation.

Holland presents as an athletic wing who brings defensive energy and a rim pressuring presence that currently lacks poise, shooting efficiency, and consistency. I expect Holland to compete for a high minute consistent rotational role, playing either as a starter or one of the first few reserves off the bench. His athleticism, length, and aggressiveness allow him to contribute as an energetic wing while his offensive game and discipline improve.

Topic presents as a primary facilitator and ball handler excelling in the transition game and breaking down defenders to attack the paint, setting up quality looks for his teammates. I expect Topic to earn a consistent reserve role on an NBA team while competing for a starter's role as a team’s primary ball handler.

George projects as a well-rounded guard/wing who contributes effectively on offense and defense. He has the size and length of a wing player but presents as a guard leading the offense or playing off-ball as a number one or two scoring option. I project George as a quality starting long-term contributor for a competitive NBA team.

Williams presents as an athletic energetic wing that will impact the game as a slasher and transition threat. Williams projects as a rotational player competing for starting role playing between 20-28 minutes a game. His size and length make his upside appealing, but I'm concerned that his fundamentals will impact his ceiling.

Simpson is an all-around guard that makes a positive contribution offensively and defensively despite his small stature. I expect Simpson to be a long-term valuable guard on an NBA rotation. He will likely play a complementary role running the second unit or spot starting; playing between 20-28 minutes a game.

Collier projects as a downhill attacking guard that is adept at finishing in the paint and causing the defense to collapse to set up his teammates. Collier will be given opportunities at the next level due to his explosiveness and strength to drive into the paint, but I foresee his impact being limited to a reserve role secondary to his overall shooting deficiency and off- ball limitations, variable effort, and lack of consistency.

Smith presents as a floor spacing front court player with good length and jumping ability to play above the rim and protect the paint. I expect Smith to earn a consistent reserve role playing up to 20-25 minutes a game.

Missi's rawness is evident, but he presents as a defensive oriented rim running center. He projects as a reserve center contributing as a defender and lob threat near the rim. If he continues to improve, I expect his role to grow, potentially serving as a long-term regular starting center, but at this time, that forecast seems more unlikely than likely.

Dunn projects as a versatile defender at the next level, but his minutes will be limited secondary to his offensive deficiencies. I expect Dunn to remain in the NBA for an extended period as a defensive specialist off the bench playing 10-20 mins a game. If his offensive game develops, he could grow into a regular starter.

Clingan presents as an imposing physical center who cleans up the glass, sets solid screens, and protects the rim with potential to space the floor. I expect Clingan to earn a role as a quality reserve center playing between 15-22 minutes a night providing defensive energy and a physical paint presence.

Carter is a tough guard who is more effective as a defender than as an offensive player at the next level. I foresee Carter competing for backup minutes on an NBA roster. He will be most effective contributing as a secondary or tertiary scorer on the reserve lineup while defending the opposing team's number one scoring threat.

Djurisic presents as an offensive oriented playmaking wing with floor spacing ability who is limited as a defender. I expect Djurisic to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster while he continues to develop his game. He has starter upside due to his overall size and offensive potential as a facilitating wing.

McCain presents as a floor spacing shooting threat lacking rim pressure and defensive ability. I expect McCain to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster playing between 16-22 minutes a game as a floor spacer. His role can grow substantially if he develops his on-ball creation ability and defensive consistency.

Bona presents a physical big that impacts the game using his defensive energy to create havoc as well as contribute offensively by maintaining activity on the glass and running in transition. I expect Bona to contribute to an NBA roster as a reserve center providing energy, defensive effort, and physicality on the glass for 10-20 minutes a game.

Buzelis presents as an energetic wing with good defensive instincts and off-ball offensive ability. I expect Buzelis to compete for minutes as a reserve player on an NBA roster. I do not anticipate substantial growth in his self-creation ability, and he needs to improve his shooting efficiency to earn a larger role on an NBA team.

Hall presents as a physical and all-around front court player contributing positively offensively and defensively. I expect Hall to earn a regular reserve role on an NBA roster contributing between 12-18 minutes a game.

Tyson presents as an offensive oriented wing player who can contribute positively on the defensive end. I expect Tyson to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster playing between 12-18 minutes a game to provide a spark offensively. He has the potential for a larger role if he improves his facilitation ability and defensive consistency.

Shannon presents as an all-around athletic wing that excels attacking the rim especially during transition opportunities. I expect Shannon to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster to bring energy off the bench playing between 10-18 minutes a game.

Klintman presents as an athletic energetic wing with floor spacing capability, but ultimately, he requires further development to improve his basketball IQ as errors are committed due to mental lapses. Klintman presents as a reserve wing competing to earn playing time while developing his game.

Filipowski presents an offensive minded front court player lacking physicality and agility, decreasing his defensive effectiveness. I expect Filipowski to earn a reserve role on an NBA team playing between 10-18 minutes a game to provide offensive contributions.

Holmes presents as an athletic long center who threatens the defense as a pop and roll threat while also contributing positively on the defensive end due to his length and switchability. I expect Holmes to earn a reserve center role on an NBA team playing between 10-18 minutes where he can contribute effectively on both sides of the ball.

Scheierman presents as an all-around wing contributing positively offensively and defensively despite athletic deficiencies and shooting inconsistencies. I expect Scheierman to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster while competing for larger minutes. I foresee him earning a role between 10-18 minutes a game.

Johnson presents as a long athletic playmaking guard excelling at breaking down his primary defender but lacks fundamentals and defensive effort. I would advise Johnson to develop his game further to improve his consistency leading an offense within a larger role. Johnson is raw but demonstrates good skill and athleticism to develop into a quality guard at the next level. At this point, I expect Johnson to play in the G League for development and eventually earn a role as a quality reserve guard with the potential to earn a regular rotation spot.

Salaun presents as a long floor spacing wing who plays with good energy on both sides of the ball. I expect Salaun to compete for playing time on the backend of an NBA roster. His minutes will likely fluctuate depending on his shooting from a night-to-night basis secondary to his deficiencies as a defender.

Nunez presents as an offensive oriented facilitating guard who is effective creating for himself and for his teammates. I expect Nunez to earn a role as a reserve guard on an NBA roster playing between 10-15 minutes a game while competing for a larger role.

Freeman presents as an energetic wing who contributes as a defender and rebounder offering limited offensive ability. I expect Freeman to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster as an energetic wing providing spurts of energy for his team while he develops his shooting ability.

Johnson presents as a versatile defender that brings energy and floor stretching ability. I expect Johnson to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster competing for backend minutes playing between 8-15 a game.

Ware projects as an offensive oriented center who has the potential to impact on defense using his length and athleticism. Ware is difficult to project as he demonstrates obvious ability and elevated ceiling, but overall lack of consistency and effort is concerning. I expect Ware to spend his career as a reserve offensive minded center competing for backend minutes playing between 8-15 minutes a game. His ceiling is much higher, but I don't anticipate him reaching it.

Furphy presents as a hustling wing possessing adequate size and length. He is a capable shooter but cannot be considered an effective or consistent shooter at this time. I project Furphy to maintain a roster spot fighting for an increased role and minutes. If his shot develops, his energy and effort could increase his role garnering 15-25 minutes, but at this point, I expect him to compete for 8-15 minutes a game.

Edwards presents as an offensive oriented wing with poor efficiency and disappointing defensive effort. I expect Edwards high school pedigree to offer him an opportunity to contribute to an NBA roster as a backend player competing for playing time. My concern is that his inconsistencies, poor court awareness, and effort will impact his lasting ability. My recommendation for Edwards is to return to school for continued development.

Christie presents as a floor spacing wing with good athleticism and defensive potential to operate as a three and defensive specialist. Christie is a raw prospect that has significant limitations to his game. I would have recommended Christie return to school to develop his self-creation ability and off-ball awareness. At this point, I expect Christie to earn a reserve role on the backend of an NBA roster competing to earn more minutes.

Edey presents as an oversized physical force in the paint with defensive limitations and floor spacing deficiencies. I expect Edey to compete for backend minutes on an NBA roster as a reserve center.

Newton presents as a primary ball handling guard possessing average attributes across the line. I expect Newton to compete for reserve minutes on the backend of an NBA roster.

Jones presents as a ball dominant wing player with a powerful body. His contributions are directly related to his on-ball activity as his off-ball contributions are deficient due to lack of effort and attention. I project that Jones will fight for minutes on an NBA roster. He could contribute quality minutes in a reserve role as a primary ball handler off the bench while also filling up the stat sheet, but that potential rests in his own hands. I haven't seen enough to have confidence that he will reach his potential.

Mitchell presents as an all-around off-ball or primary guard who contributes positively offensively and defensively but lacks exciting attributes. I expect Mitchell to be a reserve NBA player competing to earn more minutes running the second unit. He plays with sound fundamentals and has a core recipe of prerequisite skills but does not excel in a singular trait to elevate his overall ceiling.

Kolek presents as a quality but undersized all-round guard who lacks athleticism. I expect Kolek to earn a reserve guard spot on the back end of an NBA roster battling for increased minutes and role. I foresee him playing between 8-12 minutes trying to earn a larger reserve role.

Mogbo presents as an athletic defensive wing who plays above the rim. He executes within the offense as a swing man but lacks floor spacing ability. I expect Mogbo to earn a reserve role on the backend of an NBA roster as an energetic defensive wing where he plays to his strengths during limited minutes.

Alexander presents as an effective shooter from the mid-range and beyond the arc but lacks athleticism to be an effective defender. I expect Alexander to earn a reserve role on the backend of an NBA roster fighting for increased minutes playing between 8-12 minutes a game.

Bridges presents as an energetic floor spacing wing who struggles to create his own shot and contributes as an average defender. I expect Bridges to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster competing for minutes to provide spacing and energy.

Dante presents as a rim protecting center who competes on the glass and finishes in the paint at a high efficiency. I expect Dante to compete for a reserve center role on an NBA roster, but his overall upside is limited secondary to his injury history and decreased foot speed.

Shead presents as an all-around guard who excels as a defender. I expect Shead to compete on the backend of an NBA roster for a reserve guard spot. His greatest limitation is his size and shooting efficiency.

Da Silva presents as a dynamic offensive wing with good length, skill, and shooting ability but is in between as it relates to physical attributes and athleticism. I expect da Silva to fight for playing time on the backend of a roster fluctuating between the G-league and limited minutes when games get out of hand. His overall deficiencies are too detrimental in my opinion to warrant consistent playing time at the NBA level.

Wells presents as a floor spacing wing who competes defensively but lacks top end traits and athleticism limiting his overall ceiling. I expect Wells to fluctuate between the G League and the NBA working to obtain a reserve role on the roster.

Ingram presents as a physical energetic wing with floor spacing and defensive capabilities. I expect Ingram to play and continue to develop his game in the G-league while competing for a reserve NBA role as an energy defender and floor spacing energy wing.

Rubstavicius presents as an offensive oriented wing specializing at spacing the floor. I expect Rubstavicius to compete for reserve minutes as a floor spacing offensive minded wing. His role and offensive output could greatly improve if he develops his facilitation capability.

Chomche presents as a long floor spacing big with defensive upside but unfortunately, he lacks consistency. Currently, he is a very raw prospect that needs to develop his awareness and feel for the game. Effort is a controllable characteristic, and he needs to demonstrate more effort while on the floor or his prospects look bleak. I recommend that he continues developing his game or else I expect him to play in the G League competing to earn a reserve NBA role.

Reeves presents as a competent offensive player who lacks size and physicality to match up defensively at the NBA level. I expect Reeves to be an offensive oriented guard fighting for minutes on an NBA roster. Due to defensive limitations, he needs to convert his three-point shots at a rate of 43-47% to make positive contributions.

Dadiet presents as a floor spacing energetic wing lacking consistency and self-creation ability. Overall, Dadiet demonstrates physical ability to forecast a promising player, but inconsistency neutralizes his overall effectiveness. I would advise him to continue to develop his game before pursuing the NBA level. At this point, I expect Dadiet to play in the G League competing for a back-end reserve role on an NBA roster.

Boone presents as a versatile defensive wing who competes on the glass and plays with energy. I expect Boone to compete for a reserve role on an NBA rotation as a defensive specialist.

Ighodaro presents as an athletic, energetic but undersized front court player. I expect Ighodaro to fluctuate between the G-league and NBA competing for minutes to provide energy in the front court.

Mintz presents as an athletic attacking guard who is high on volume but low on efficiency. That inefficiency coupled with his defensive inconsistencies paints a negative light on Mintz's outlook. I expect Mintz to spend his time in the G-league working on his game while competing for NBA minutes. I'd recommend he return to college to continue to develop his game and produce better results.

Larsson presents as a floor spacing guard/wing with limited defensive utility. I expect Larsen to spend his career in the G- league competing for NBA minutes due to his defensive deficiencies.

McCullar presents as a slashing wing who plays with physicality, toughness, and hustle. Overall, he has too many deficiencies and it is difficult to envision McCullars securing a consistent role on an NBA roster. I expect him to spend his career on the roster bubble alternating between the G League and backend rotational minutes when games get out of hand.

Beekman presents as a defensive facilitating point guard that lacks explosiveness and shot creation/finishing ability. I expect Beekman to battle on a backend of a roster competing to earn 10 minutes as a reserve guard. His outlook, role, and minutes will rest on his offensive consistency and ability.

Jones presents as a physical defensive floor spacing wing bringing consistency and effort. I expect Jones to play in the G League competing for a roster spot on the backend of an NBA roster.

Jones presents as an offensive oriented guard who can create for himself and for his teammates but lacks defensive discipline. I expect Jones to play in the G League competing for a reserve role to create offense off the bench at the NBA level.

Jones presents as an undersized physical energetic center who competes in the paint. I expect Jones to play in the G League competing for a reserve role on an NBA roster.

Minix presents as an offensive oriented wing who is limited athletically but offers floor spacing ability and is best at creating offense from the mid- to low-post. I expect Minix to play in the G League as an offensive oriented wing who competes to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster.

Hinson presents as a physical wing who is a below average defender and offensive creator but shoots at a decent efficiency at high volume from three. I expect Hinson to earn a contract due to his shooting ability and physical NBA body, but I anticipate he will have a difficult time earning consistent minutes due to his deficiencies defensively and limited offensive arsenal.

Ajinca projects as an athletic wing who demonstrates the ability to space the floor but lacks defensive discipline. Ajinca is a raw prospect that needs further development to improve his efficiency, self-creation ability, offensive feel, defensive awareness, and defensive engagement. At this point, I expect Ajinca to play in the G League to develop his game, hoping to crack an NBA roster spot as a reserve.

James presents as an energetic guard who offers defensive and facilitation ability but lacks shooting efficiency and consistency. James has pedigree to accompany his athleticism and effort, but his game is inconsistent. I expect James to play in the G League while competing to earn a role on the backend of an NBA roster.

Crawford presents as a limited athletic wing who excels creating offense from the low-post. He offers floor spacing capability but possesses limited defensive utility. I expect Crawford to play in the G League as a ball dominant wing competing to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster.

Post presents as a floor spacing offensive oriented center. I expect Post to spend his time in the G League competing to earn minutes on an NBA roster.

Spencer presents as a floor spacing guard with defensive deficiencies. I expect Spencer to spend his career in the G League competing to earn a reserve role on an NBA roster.

Hukporti presents as an undersized low-post center that competes on the boards and sets solid screens but is a limited defender secondary to deficient lateral agility. Hukporti is very limited at this point of his development and will benefit from ongoing training to improve his ability. I expect Hukporti to compete on a G League team for minutes while he continues to develop his game.

Flowers presents as an attacking guard/wing with good size but lacks defensive instincts and awareness. Flowers is a very raw prospect and will benefit from ongoing development to capitalize on his athletic ability. At this point, I expect Flowers to have difficulty earning a consistent role on an NBA roster and will require more development to be effective.

Traore presents as an energetic wing with limited self-creation ability and inconsistent defensive technique. Traore is very raw and at this point I expect his role to be limited to the G League while he develops his game on both sides of the ball.

Mitchell presents as an offensive oriented floor spacing undersized center. I expect Mitchell to earn a spot on a G-league roster competing for an increased role.

Edwards presents as an athletic and long center who plays above the rim as a lob threat and rim protector. I expect Edwards to have a difficult time maintaining a spot or regular limits on a G-league roster.

Miller presents as a floor spacing wing who offers limited self-creation ability and deficient defensive contributions. I expect Miller to compete for a roster spot in the G League as there are too many deficiencies in his game to compete at the NBA level currently.

Watson presents as a limited undersized front court player contributing in spurts who lacks offensive or defensive upside. I expect Watson to have a difficult time advancing past a G League roster spot.
