The 2024 NBA draft has 4-5 picks that could go first overall
Now that the 2024 NBA draft has its order, many see this class of rookies as not as star-studded compared to the recent years, with Victor Wembanyama, Zion Williamson, and Cade Cunningham being the consensus first-overall picks.
On the flip side, a shallow draft means more sleepers. ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski considers this draft class similar to the 2013 draft, where Anthony Bennett went first overall while best players Giannis Antetokounmpo and Rudy Gobert went midway or latter part of the first round.
Through this, the team with the first overall pick must do its homework very well and sift through the talent pool.
"Executives in this room say that if they walk out of this ballroom today with the number one overall that they imagine they're going to seriously consider four or five different candidates for the number one," Wojnarowski said.
The 2024 NBA draft will be held on June 26 (first round) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. and June 27 (second round) at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in New York.
This is the first time the NBA draft will be held two nights since the league shortened the draft to two rounds instead of going as much as the seventh round back in the late 80s.
