2024 has arrived with new boards from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Tankathon and the No Ceilings team. There seems to be consensus top group for the most part which includes Alex Sarr, Nikola Topic, Cody Williams, Zaccharie Risacher, Ja’Kobe Walter and one, or both, of Ron Holland and Matas Buzelis. After the lottery its a complete free-for-all and very interesting to compare the differing opinions amongst these picks.

There are some fascinating positional battles that are starting to form, especially with the centers grouping of Donovan Clingan, Aaron Bradshaw, Yves Missi, Zach Edey, and Kel’el Ware. As usual, it’s all in the eye of the beholder!
