Meet the #1 Pick in the 2024 NBA Draft



Meet the #1 Pick in the 2024 NBA Draft

Everyone says this draft sucks no stars in the 2024 class a curse to get the number one pick really the draft people compare this to as 2013 Anthony Bennett went number one alltime bust but down the list number 15 janisan TMO 27 Rudy goar even the worst draft in 10 years

Had two Hall of Famers the worst draft ever was 2000 with three Allstars so who’s that going to be in 2024 people have been telling us this draft sucks so much we don’t even know these kids so let’s dive deep on the best players in this class cuz multiple All Stars will

Be drafted so the first thing to know is which team drafts first last year the top four was down to the Rockets Spurs hornets and Blazers Rockets got four Blazers three Hornets 2 Spurs wimy it is based on a lottery system where you get more pingpong balls the worst record

Record you have so the Spurs pistons and wizards have the best chance at number one this year but it’s no guarantee Detroit was there last year fell all the way to five H but it works both ways you can get really lucky eight times a team

With less than a 7% chance got the number one pick three times it was less than 2% that means this year number one could be the Bulls or the Hawks or the Thunder who have Houston pick from the Chris Paul trade anything can happen but who will they select there are six

Players who could possibly go number one according to dozens of mock drafts half of them are European you would never see that a few years ago teams were afraid to draft a Euro number one it’s why DeAndre Aton and Marvin baggley went ahead of Luca donic we had all the signs

Luca was going to be legit best player in Europe at 20 years old MVPs but oh the big American more like big mistake now the best NBA players are not American the last five MVPs born outside the US The Stereotype used to be that they’re soft now it’s the opposite Euro

Kids play inmy from a young age and have to face old sweaty hairy dudes in European leagues they are taught discipline Americans have aaou don’t matter if you lose today we got three more games tomorrow totally pampered and playing against other kids their age I hate to say it but non-americans are

Taking over so let’s reveal these picks from the least likely to the most likely to go first and the least likely is Cody Williams number one overall in one mock draft NBA draft.net the brother of Jaylen Williams Jay dub from OKC Cody is super athletic like big bro good

Defender but taller at 6’8 good handles enough to be a point forward the problem is he’s not strong enough to dominate in the paint 68 180 180 we all know 180 PB people they ain’t 6’8 I only see him going one if like the Hornets pick first

They need a dog to compliment their core of lamelo Brandon Miller and Mark Williams next Reed Shepard 63 Guard from Kentucky the ringer had him number one in a previous mock because the Spurs picked first a great fit with Wim banama dude is a dog on defense despite being

Smaller and hit 52% from three this year add his playmaking and there is no better teammate for wimy both Reed’s parents played ball for Kentucky as well and he went from high school hero to college star so it was devastating UK got upset in the first round of March

Madness but despite a bad game from Reed there’s a small chance he goes number one next likely nicolea topit number one pick in one mock as well SB Nation kid is a 66 Guard from Serbia amazing skills at The Rim loves to drive and score

Drive and Dish his dad was a legend in Serbian basketball winning the silver medal in 96 Olympics Nia’s problem is he can’t shoot it’s so bad defenses sag off him a lot for that reason I don’t see the Spurs taking him they need spacing around wimy the only way he goes first

Is to the wizards they need a point guard with tus Jones a free agent topich could be special next is Rob Dillingham a 63 Guard from Kentucky ESPN wrote a whole article making the case for why he goes number one with the ceiling of Trey

Young hit 45% of his threes a big time Riser this year had to be mentally strong because of his crazy background Rob was sitting at home when Kanye West facetimed him yay asked him to move to LA at 16 years old to join the da

Academy it was a school yay set up and Rob’s commitment rocked the basketball recruiting World they played for about a year but y’s mental breakdown led to the school breaking up and everyone had to transfer Rob’s dad then revealed how Shady it really was as Rob’s dad I was

Not informed about the offer to attend da Academy neither Rob’s mother brother or sister have communicated Rob’s whereabouts to me there’s been so much deception everything spun out of control my feeling Rob wants to reach out to me but cannot reports said yay banned chairs at the school forced players to

Eat nothing but Sushi all the doors were locked from the outside Rob had to sign an NDA so no official info is out but he transferred to overtime Elite before Kentucky if he goes number one maybe the Spurs take him maybe the Rockets to eventually replace Fred Van vet but the

Second most likely number one is Zachary R who is first in a ton of box including ESPN and the athletic a 68 Ford from France an elite shooter this year hitting 44% from three he can catch and shoot shoot off the dribble off movement he’s got long arms to defend but not

Consistent yet think of him as like a Michael Porter Jr Zachary’s problem is poor finishing at The Rim but he too comes from a basketball family his dad is Stefan a great Euroleague player and Zachary was born in Spain when Dad was playing there he goes number one if a

Couple of teams pick maybe Detroit because they need a Ford who can shoot same for the Blazers maybe the Rockets but the most likely number one is Alex sawar a 7-1 French Ford who’s playing in Australia he is first for the ringer CBS bleach report and Sports Illustrated not

A shooter yet but a dominant two-way big like a jiren Jackson Jr he can defend all over the court in the paint in space he finishes in handles like a wing his dad played pro basketball sensing a theme his brother is on the thunder right now mostly in the g- league Alex

Was recruited to Real Madrid at 12 years old wanted to fall in the footsteps of Luca donic then he moves to America to play for overtime Elite for two seasons and turns Pro one year in Australia Alex started the year way down the draft but everything changed in two games his team

Played the g-league ignite just like wimi and Scoot did last year Alex averaged 22 points nine boards in six blocks Scouts came away saying Alex Goes number one teams that could take him the Wizards Hornets Grizzlies and maybe the Raptor so because there’s no clear number one who goes one greatly depends

On which team is picking the Blazers don’t need another guard the Spurs do need a guard and good defense we will find out the draft order on May 12th but whoever gets drafted is coming into a completely different League than it was when the year started because the NBA

Changed their rules in the middle of the season but didn’t tell anybody luckily a bunch of people noticed that this happened did an investigation confronted the NBA and the NBA lied to our faces so I broke down the entire thing and explained why the NBA is actually lying

So many people have trashed the 2024 NBA Draft. People compare it to the 2013 Draft when legendary bust Anthony Bennett was picked first. But we also saw multiple Hall of Famers taken that night including Giannis Antetokounmpo! This is a closer look at the best players on Draft night and who could go number one.

  1. Luka was MVP at 17 I’m pretty sure so he was best in Europe at 17 if that’s correct it’s actually insane how good he is now he’s 24 he will break this league in half I promise he gonna be the best in the game when it’s all said n done

  2. So you think European prospects didn't play in academies and against bigger players before? They have just gotten better

  3. Strategy of the spurs depends if they have Sarr or Risacher or Topic or Salaun then they will know who to take i would contract batum right away for a year or two just to mentor those guys on the court and while on the bench for all these details they done ev3n see

  4. There are so many Nikolas in the league, we might need a Nikola support group for all the confused referees out there! 🤣

  5. Don’t mind if I don’t know them yet tbh, I can enjoy both stronger and weaker classes wondering, predicting, watching games more to form opinions and just go off of that. If you feel special about someone who’s lesser known still then buy his rookie card for cheap, anything memorabilia or signed so you can have it for sentimental value and/or he becomes more known and you can truly say you’re a #1 fan. I’m sure these aren’t all just jobbers and the NBA is the best talent in the world can say, competition like that can help growth with the right mindset. That’s what I’d like to get out of a draft like this

  6. I feel you are sleeping on Cody.
    Dude is not that much skinnier than some other prospects: 7 even AFTER Wemby gained 21 pounds, he is thinner for his height!
    Plus it is very normal for someone so young not to have filled out yet: with great trainers & nutrition, why on earth would anyone think he will not gain significant muscle?
    Not that a Reggie Miller & Sam Cassel were not excellent with comparable mass…And how bulky is the second best player in the NBA, SGA?

    It is not that far in weight per square inch or muscle between Shai & Cody!

  7. All these players with pro basketball parents. This will continue to increase. Pro basketball parents give you great genetics plus every available opportunity. This will drive down the popularity of basketball as it will be seen more and more as a closed club. Most sports will go this way.

  8. They were saying 2020 was a bad draft and is having 4 max players, including Tyres Maxey loading. Up to now, I'm seeing 2021 as a bad draft. I don't see any max player in that draft except Scottie Barnes
