ESPN’s Jeremy Woo recently posted his list of player comps (ESPN Insider) for the 2024 NBA Draft. For each player ranked in the lottery, Woo listed the best case for that player, and the worst case. For a draft like this, that obviously leads to a very wide range for each comparison. Let’s pick a few examples.
Donovan Clingan
High end: Rudy Gobert and late-career Brook Lopez
Low end: Walker Kessler
Dalton Knecht
High end: Bojan Bogdanovic
Low end: Max Strus
And the one that will get the attention of every Blazers fan.
Tidjane Salaun
High end: Jerami Grant and Kyle Kuzma
Low end: Maurice Harkless
So today, we toss this out to you, Portland Trail Blazers fans:
Who are your modern player comps for prospects in the 2024 NBA Draft?
You’re welcome to focus on players in the first round, second round, or both. And it can be players Portland might pick, or else anyone you want to discuss. Have some fun with it!
