The 2024 NBA draft class, while seen as weaker, still presents potential stars. Bub Carrington, selected 14th by the Washington Wizards, has impressed and could shine as a rookie in a rebuilding team.
Dalton Knecht, a 17th pick for the Los Angeles Lakers, boasts strong shooting abilities and should become an instant contributor. Similarly, Kel'el Ware from the Miami Heat has the potential to be a key player with his skills at center.
AJ Johnson, taken 23rd by the Milwaukee Bucks, and Terrence Shannon Jr., 27th to the Minnesota Timberwolves, have also showcased considerable talent. Despite struggles at USC, Isaiah Collier of the Utah Jazz remains a top prospect.
