NBA Draft grades 2024: Live results and analysis for every pick in Rounds 1-2 | Sporting News Australia

Must read

The 2024 NBA Draft has arrived.

While this year’s draft class doesn’t have the same hype as last year’s Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes, there are still plenty of talented prospects who will hear their names called by NBA commissioner Adam Silver.

Familiar college basketball prospects like UConn national champions Donovan Clingan and Stephon Castle are both projected top-10 picks. Others like Kentucky’s Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham, and Tennessee’s Dalton Knecht are expected to come off the board in the lottery.

International stars like Zaccharie Risacher, Alexandre Sarr and Nikola Topic are three of the best players in this class.

If you’re looking to get up to speed on this year’s crop of prospects, you’ve come to the right place. The Sporting News has you covered with live grades and analysis for every pick in the 2024 NBA Draft below.
