2024 NBA Draft: Who will the Atlanta Hawks take with the first overall pick?
As of Tuesday, most sportsbooks have France’s Zaccharie Risacher as the favorite to go first overall.
UConn’s Donovan Clingan and France’s Alex Sarr are also possibilities.
2024 NBA Draft: Which Duke players are likely to get selected?
Duke’s Jared McCain and Kyle Filipowski are likely to get selected. McCain is expected to get selected in the first round on Wednesday.
Most draft experts project Filipowski to get selected later in the first round or early in the second round.
McCain is listed at 6’2” and 203 pounds. He can space the floor with his 3-point shooting ability (41.4% during the 2023-24 season). McCain also rebounds well for his size.
Filipowski has good touch on the offensive end for a big man. He’s accustomed to running pick-and-pop sets as a screener and in the dribble handoff game.
Filipowski will need to add strength and continue to improve on defense.
2024 NBA Draft: Which UNC players are likely to get selected?
Harrison Ingram is expected to be a second-round pick. He’s listed at 6’5” but has a 7-foot wingspan.
Ingram will likely need to carve out a role as a “3 and D” type wing in the NBA. While he shot 38.5% from 3-point range in the 2023-24 for the Tar Heels, he only shot 61.2% from the free-throw line.
UNC’s Armando Bacot is not listed among ESPN’s top 100 NBA Draft prospects.
2024 NBA Draft: Which NC State players are likely to get selected?
D.J. Horne, D.J. Burns and Mohamed Diarra are also not listed among ESPN’s top 100 NBA Draft prospects.
Players are free to sign with NBA teams after the draft. Teams look to fill out their rosters for NBA Summer League.
Will Bronny James get drafted?
The son of LeBron James isn’t expected to get selected in the first round. He could be a second-round pick.
Bronny’s agent, Rich Paul, told ESPN that he worked out individually for just two teams: the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers.
