随着 NBA 常规赛的结束和附加赛的进行，对于季后赛之外的 10 支 NBA 球队而言，NBA 选秀现已成为首要关注事项。

从欧洲到澳大利亚再到大学行列，球探们正在全球范围内寻找下一个具有影响力的 NBA 球员，参加一场不确定的选秀。在 NCAA 锦标赛中表现出色之后，一些新秀在模拟选秀中上升，两位法国新秀继续占据选秀榜首。

NCAA 两连冠冠军康涅狄格大学哪些球员将获得乐透签？肯塔基大学表现不佳如何影响人们对其顶级新秀的看法？随着赛季临近尾声，哪些国际球员的趋势正在上升？

ESPN NBA 选秀专家 Jonathan Givony 和 Jeremy Woo 讨论了这些问题，并在最近的模拟选秀中分析了这些新秀。第一轮

1. 底特律活塞队

扎查里·里萨切
布尔格
小前锋
年龄：19.0

活塞队是 NBA 三分球命中率最差的球队，同时也是联盟防守最差的球队之一，这意味着他们很可能会被里萨切的外线投篮、防守多功能性和年轻所吸引。他在布尔格参加竞争非常激烈的比赛中度过了一个非常高效的赛季，在 60 场比赛中防守 1 到 4 号位的所有位置，尽管赛季末期出现了低迷。里萨切在位置上看起来与活塞队的其他核心球员非常契合，并且属于不需要球队制定战术的球员类型。 —— Jonathan Givony

2. 华盛顿奇才队

亚历克斯·萨尔
珀斯
大前锋/中锋
年龄：18.9

随着奇才队继续复兴的早期阶段，他们可以承受等待像萨尔这样的球员更长时间。萨尔在澳大利亚度过了一个积极的发展赛季，他是选秀中身体天赋最强的内线球员，并可以帮助及时修复华盛顿漏洞百出的防守。随着他的进攻发展，他有可能成为多才多艺的角色球员，可以在阵容的 4 号位或 5 号位上普遍融入阵容。奇才队在上届选秀中选择了另一位法国球员比拉尔·库利巴利，并拥有耐心培养萨尔的过人能力的平台。 —— Jeremy Woo

3. 波特兰开拓者队

多诺万·克林根
康涅狄格大学
中锋
年龄：20.1

开拓者队在他们的重建过程中出现得太早，以致过度关注位置契合度，并且可能不会与中锋德安德烈·艾顿长期签约，他的合同还有两年。开拓者队可能会被克林根的身高、臂展、防守能力和传球能力所吸引，他在两届全国锦标赛后状态正佳，并且在 20 岁时与开拓者队的核心阵容还有很大的成长空间。 —— Givony

4. 夏洛特黄蜂队

罗布·迪林厄姆
肯塔基大学
控球后卫
年龄：19.2

随着黄蜂队过渡到新的总经理领导，对这项选择的开放态度可能会让迪林厄姆很有趣。他在肯塔基大学展示的投篮技巧为他和拉梅洛·鲍尔以及布兰登·米勒一起如何融入阵容提供了一个蓝图——尽管这个阵容可能存在真正的防守问题。虽然他并不适合所有球队，但这场选秀中的不确定性将让迪林厄姆从一开始就成为考虑因素，凭借他罕见的投篮创造和三分球能力作为优势，如果他能进一步全面发展他的比赛。 —— Woo

5. 圣安东尼奥马刺队

尼古拉·托皮奇
梅加 MIS
控球后卫
年龄：18.6

马刺队控球后卫空缺，可能会研究托皮奇和迪林厄姆的契合度，而后者在这个场景中已经出局了。将文班亚马与托皮奇这样高度无私、有创造力的传球手搭档将很有吸引力，因为他也拥有与其他后卫一起在后场打球的出色身材。在文班亚马的支持下，他的防守缺陷可能不会那么明显，但提高他的外线投篮将是关键。 —— Givony

6. 多伦多猛龙队

马塔斯·布泽利斯
发展联盟点燃队
小前锋/大前锋
年龄：19.5

多伦多在这项选秀中拥有前六名保护权，并有 45.8% 的机会保留它。这些几率将让抽签之夜充满焦虑，因为猛龙队希望不要在选秀顺序中跳过。随着球队重建和阵容围绕斯科蒂·巴恩斯在一定程度的变动，在布泽利斯身上再找到一名多才多艺的前锋可能是有益的，从而为多伦多提供更多的位置尺寸和在内线选择阵容的可能性，这是本届管理层一直青睐的。布泽利斯以多产的表现结束了他在发展联盟的赛季，并在防守方面取得了进步，提醒球探是什么让他成为乐透签中的一个有趣的选秀。 —— Woo

7. 孟菲斯灰熊队

里德·谢泼德
肯塔基大学
控球后卫/得分后卫
年龄：19.8

灰熊队肯定会适应谢泼德在分析方面的评估，他是本届选秀中最好的球员之一，同时还带来了球队通常在选秀中渴望的得分效率。他将与贾·莫兰特一起组成 NBA 中最小的后场之一，但他可能会帮助点燃一支本赛季因核心球员受伤无数而效率排名联盟垫底的进攻球队。 —— Givony

8. 犹他爵士队

斯蒂芬·卡斯特
康涅狄格大学
控球后卫/得分后卫
年龄：19.4

爵士队在重建过程中表现出极大的耐心，并且可能会在凯文特·乔治和卡斯特之间建立潜在的后场搭档中看到长期的收益，后者已确立了自己在本届选秀中顶级防守新秀之一的地位。卡斯特作为一名控球后卫的身高、一对一能力和次要组织能力可以很好地与乔治的得分能力相匹配。球队希望在训练中看到卡斯特充满信心地投篮，但如果他能减轻一些这些担忧，他就会保证在乐透签中获得上扬势头，并从康涅狄格大学在三月的统治中受益。 —— Woo

9. 休斯顿火箭队（通过布鲁克林篮网队）

达尔顿·克内希特
田纳西大学
小前锋
年龄：22.9

火箭队通过聘请主教练伊梅·乌多卡并在上个夏天在自由球员市场上引起轰动，开启了他们的重建过程，这表明他们可能会用这项选秀考虑更多现成的球员，因为球队阵容中已经有很多年轻人。射术可能是休斯顿今年夏天的一个优先事项，而年近 23 岁的克内希特充满活力的外线比赛——在本赛季三分球命中率为 40%——可能对这项选秀很有吸引力。 —— Givony

10. 亚特兰大老鹰队

科迪·威廉姆斯
科罗拉多大学
得分后卫/小前锋
年龄：19.4

在今年的选秀之后，老鹰队在 2028 年之前不会控制自己的首轮选秀权，欠马刺队选秀权和交易。这可能是亚特兰大在这个休赛期发生重大变化，因为老鹰队考虑奢侈税。考虑到这些因素，在本赛季选择一个长期的视角，并在契合度上争取优势是有道理的。威廉姆斯的大一赛季表现不佳，但在最佳状态下作为一名出色的组织后卫闪现出优势，这让他成为一个有趣的乐透候选人。他的体型和防守优势使他成为本届选秀中最有趣的发展赌注之一，如果他能完善自己的处理和投篮技术。 —— Woo

11. 芝加哥公牛队

以赛亚·科利尔
南加州大学
控球后卫
年龄：19.5

据报道，扎克·拉文正在交易谈判中，而且在这个休赛期，后场需要额外的组织能力是重中之重，公牛队的前台工作人员将密切研究科利尔的投篮创造能力和得分本能，如果他能获得这项选秀，他就会出现。科利尔有缺陷，但也凭借他在 19 岁的体型、力量和进攻篮筐的能力提供了一些真正的明星力量和上升空间，尤其是如果他的外线投篮技术得到改善。

2024 NBA mock draft: Team analysis for all 30 first-round picks

Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo

Apr 17, 2024, 08:00 AM ET

With the NBA regular season complete and the play-in games underway, the NBA draft now takes precedence for the 10 NBA teams outside the playoff mix.

From Europe to Australia and the college ranks, scouts are scouring the globe for the next impact NBA players in an uncertain draft class. Several prospects have climbed in the mock draft after stellar runs in the NCAA tournament, and two French prospects continue to top the draft board.

Which players from back-to-back champion UConn will land in the lottery? How did Kentucky's lackluster March impact how its top prospects are viewed? And which international players are trending upward as seasons come to a close?

ESPN NBA draft insiders Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo look at these questions and break down the prospects in the latest mock draft.FIRST ROUND

1. Detroit Pistons

Zaccharie Risacher
Bourg
SF
Age: 19.0

The Pistons are the NBA's worst 3-point shooting team while ranking among the league's worst defenses, meaning they could very well be attracted to the combination of perimeter shooting, defensive versatility and youth Risacher offers. He's having an extremely productive season competing at a very high level of competition for Bourg, guarding every position from 1 to 4 while making 39% of his 3-pointers through 60 games, despite being in a late-season slump. Risacher looks like a strong fit positionally with the rest of Detroit's core and is the type of player who doesn't need plays called for him. -- Jonathan Givony

2. Washington Wizards

Alex Sarr
Perth
PF/C
Age: 18.9

As the Wizards continue the nascent stages of a long rebuild, they can afford to take a longer view with a player such as Sarr. Coming off a positive developmental season in Australia, Sarr is the most physically gifted big in the draft and can help fix Washington's leaky defense in time. As his offense develops, he's potentially the type of versatile contributor who can fit universally into lineups at the 4 or the 5. The Wizards selected another French player, Bilal Coulibaly, in last year's draft and have the type of patient runway to help Sarr maximize his considerable ability. -- Jeremy Woo

3. Portland Trail Blazers

Donovan Clingan
UConn
C
Age: 20.1

The Trail Blazers appear too early in their rebuilding process to be overly concerned with positional fit and might not be married long-term to center DeAndre Ayton, who has two more years on his contract. Portland could be attracted to the size, length, defensive prowess and passing ability of Clingan, who is coming off back-to-back national championships and has plenty of room for growth alongside the Blazers' core at just 20 years old. -- Givony

4. Charlotte Hornets

Rob Dillingham
Kentucky
PG
Age: 19.2

With the Hornets transitioning to new front office leadership, an open-minded approach to this selection could make Dillingham intriguing. The shooting acumen he demonstrated at Kentucky provides a blueprint for how he might be able to fit in alongside LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller in what could be a potent offensive trio -- albeit one with real defensive concerns. While he won't be a fit for every team, the uncertain nature of this draft class will make Dillingham a consideration early on, with his uncommon mix of shot creation and 3-point ability as an upside if he can round out his game further. -- Woo

5. San Antonio Spurs

Nikola Topic
Mega MIS
PG
Age: 18.6

The Spurs have an opening at point guard and will likely study the fit of both Topic and Dillingham, who is already off the board in this scenario. Pairing Victor Wembanyama with a highly unselfish, creative passer such as Topic would be attractive, as he also has excellent size to play in the backcourt with other guards. His defensive shortcomings might not appear as glaring with Wembanyama behind him, but improving his perimeter shooting will be key. -- Givony

6. Toronto Raptors

Matas Buzelis
G League Ignite
SF/PF
Age: 19.5

Toronto owns a top-six protection on this pick and has a 45.8% chance of keeping it. Those odds will make for an anxious lottery night, as the Raptors hope not to get jumped in the draft order. With the team rebuilding and the roster somewhat in flux around Scottie Barnes, grabbing another versatile forward in Buzelis could be beneficial, giving Toronto more positional size and lineup optionality to play with in the frontcourt, something this front office has traditionally favored. Buzelis finished his G League season with a productive stretch and made strides defensively, reminding scouts what makes him an intriguing development pick in the lottery. -- Woo

7. Memphis Grizzlies

Reed Sheppard
Kentucky
PG/SG
Age: 19.8

The Grizzlies will surely be attuned to Sheppard rating as one of the best players in this draft class from an analytics perspective, while also bringing the type of scoring efficiency the team usually covets in the draft. He'd form one of the smallest backcourts in the NBA with Ja Morant but could help ignite an offense that ranked last in the NBA this season in efficiency due to a myriad of injuries to core players. -- Givony

8. Utah Jazz

Stephon Castle
UConn
PG/SG
Age: 19.4

The Jazz have been exceedingly patient with their rebuild and could see long-term benefits in a potential backcourt partnership between Keyonte George and Castle, the latter of whom has established himself as one of the top defensive prospects in this class. Castle's size, matchup versatility and secondary playmaking ability as a ball handler could fit quite nicely with George's scoring ability. Teams will want to see Castle shoot the ball with confidence in workouts, but if he can assuage some of those concerns, he figures to warrant an upside swing in the lottery and benefit from UConn's March dominance. -- Woo

9. Houston Rockets (via Brooklyn Nets)

Dalton Knecht
Tennessee
SF
Age: 22.9

The Rockets turned the page on their rebuilding process by hiring head coach Ime Udoka and making a splash in free agency last summer, indicating they could look at more ready-made players with this pick considering the plethora of youth already on the roster. Shooting will likely be a priority for Houston this summer, and the dynamic perimeter game of the nearly 23-year-old Knecht -- who made 40% of his 3s this season -- could be attractive with this pick. -- Givony

10. Atlanta Hawks

Cody Williams
Colorado
SG/SF
Age: 19.4

Following this year's draft, the Hawks won't control their own first-round pick until 2028, owing picks and swaps to the Spurs. This could be an offseason of big changes in Atlanta as the Hawks weigh the luxury tax. Considering those factors, taking a long view with this selection and playing for upside over fit makes sense. Williams had an uneven freshman season but flashed upside as a big playmaker in his best moments, making him an interesting lottery candidate. His frame and defensive upside make him one of the draft's more interesting development bets if he can refine his handling and shooting. -- Woo

11. Chicago Bulls

Isaiah Collier
USC
PG
Age: 19.5

With Zach Lavine reportedly on the trade block and a need for additional playmaking from the backcourt as a priority this offseason, the shot-creation prowess and scoring instincts of Collier will be studied closely by the Bulls' front office should he be available with this pick. Collier has flaws but also offers some real star power and upside with his size, strength and slashing ability at 19 years old, especially if his perimeter shooting improves. -- Givony

12. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Houston Rockets)

Ja'Kobe Walter
Baylor
SG/SF
Age: 19.6

The Thunder can essentially go any direction in adding to their collection of talent with this pick from the Rockets, a luxury for the Western Conference's top seed. Walter's 3-point shooting could make him an attractive fit here, as a young player who could eventually slide into a valuable role as OKC's roster gradually becomes more expensive. Walter isn't much of a shot-creator and has work to do in expanding his contributions, but his intangibles and smooth shooting should make him an attractive piece with a feasible pathway to NBA success. -- Woo

13. Sacramento Kings

Ron Holland
G League Ignite
SF
Age: 18.7

The Kings could look to bolster their wing depth with key reserve Malik Monk entering free agency, either through the draft or other means. Holland had an uneven season in the G League from an efficiency standpoint, but he is one of the youngest players in the draft and brings impressive intensity and scoring aggressiveness, which makes him a candidate to be picked higher in the lottery depending on how the pre-draft process plays out. -- Givony

14. Portland Trail Blazers (via Golden State)

Tidjane Salaun
Cholet
PF
Age: 18.6

Salaun would be another intriguing addition to Portland's frontcourt, helping to balance out a guard-heavy roster. He could be an interesting fit with this young core thanks to his potential to space the floor, supply energy and versatility as an off-ball player, with the future in mind. Salaun is still raw in important areas of his game but should be an appealing project if he can make strides as a shooter and decision-maker. -- Woo

15. Miami Heat

Zach Edey
Purdue
C
Age: 21.9

Edey's positional fit alongside Bam Adebayo would be a topic of discussion in Miami, but his productivity, physicality, intensity and cultural match would be welcomed by the Heat. Adebayo has started to slowly incorporate a 3-point shot into his offensive arsenal late this season and has the type of defensive versatility that could be useful alongside another big man. Edey's offensive rebounding and interior scoring are skills the Heat don't have much of, making him an attractive pick here. -- Givony

16. Los Angeles Lakers*

Kyle Filipowski
Duke
PF/C
Age: 20.4

The Pelicans have the rights to this Lakers pick but are expected to defer it to 2025, in what should be a deeper draft. Assuming that happens, the Lakers can keep getting younger on the fringes of their roster. Los Angeles could use long-term frontcourt depth in particular, and Filipowski's versatility and playmaking ability supply the type of skill set the current role players lack. It may take him some time to adjust, and he'll need to become a more consistent shooter, but his size/skill combination is certainly of interest. -- Woo

17. Philadelphia 76ers

Devin Carter
Providence
PG/SG
Age: 22.0

Most playoff teams could use the defensive versatility, toughness and developing outside shooting Carter brings, especially on a roster with ample shot creation already in place like the 76ers have with Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. The 2023-24 Big East Player of the Year looks like a plug-and-play option at 22 years old, which will be attractive to several teams drafting in this range. -- Givony

18. Toronto Raptors (via Indiana)

Jared McCain
Duke
PG
Age: 20.1

McCain came on in a big way toward the end of the season, showcasing his shooting and feel for the game in place of great measurables. He offers a higher floor than usual for a freshman guard as a result, with the ability to play on and off the ball, knock down shots and make plays for teammates. His defense is still a work in progress, but there's a lot to like about him in the long term, as he could make for a useful addition on a young roster in need of shooting like Toronto's. -- Woo

19. Orlando Magic

Tristan da Silva
Colorado
SF/PF
Age: 22.9

The Magic ranked among the NBA's worst 3-point shooting teams this season and will look to improve in that area this offseason. Da Silva, a plug-and-play option at nearly 23 years old, brings coveted defensive versatility and feel for the game. He also doesn't need plays called for him, which could be attractive operating alongside existing stars Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero. -- Givony

20. Cleveland Cavaliers

Tyler Smith
G League Ignite
SF/PF
Age: 19.4

The Cavs finished in the middle of the pack in 3-point shooting and could stand to add more floor spacing in their frontcourt. Smith fits the bill, with a successful season in the G League helping to clarify his role in the NBA. Smith likely needs another season to develop physically and get accustomed to the speed of the game, but he looks to be on a positive trajectory as one of the more legitimate stretch bigs on the board in the middle of the draft. -- Woo

21. Milwaukee Bucks

Kevin McCullar Jr.
Kansas
SF
Age: 23.0

The Bucks took a major step backward defensively this season and will likely look to improve in that area this summer. They're firmly in win-now mode with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, so adding the 23-year-old McCullar could be attractive as he's likely more ready to help the team in the short term than other options in this range. McCullar is an excellent defender and passer and was shooting the ball as well as he ever had in his career before being derailed by a midseason knee injury. -- Givony

22. New Orleans Pelicans

Yves Missi
Baylor
C
Age: 19.9

Missi would be a project pick for the Pelicans, who stand to upgrade their depth at center and could try to address that role long-term via the draft. While he's not NBA-ready, Missi's size, tools and flashes of scoring ability piqued interest from scouts this season enough to vault him into the draft. He might need an ostensible redshirt year but could pay dividends in this part of the draft. -- Woo

23. Phoenix Suns

Bobi Klintman
Cairns
SF/PF
Age: 21.1

The Suns traded away most of their draft capital in the coming years to build a superteam anchored around Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, making this pick a rare chance to inject the team with young talent on a cost-controlled rookie scale contract. Wing depth will likely be important for the Suns moving forward, especially with perimeter shooting and defensive versatility at a premium. Klintman, who is old enough at 21 to be expected to play a role in the short term, also has some intriguing ingredients to develop long-term with his size, range and defensive playmaking ability. -- Givony

24. New York Knicks (via Dallas Mavericks)

Kyshawn George
Miami
SG/SF
Age: 20.3

George is a name to track closely during the pre-draft process, as his skill set and size are often conducive to workout settings and might cause teams to look past his modest freshman-year production. He'd be a big upside swing for the Knicks, who have amassed talent nicely and can go several different directions with these picks in the 20s. George's shooting and playmaking ability on the wing make for an intriguing package of skills, but he lacks high-level experience and will need time to deliver a return wherever he's selected. -- Woo

25. New York Knicks

Carlton Carrington
Pittsburgh
PG/SG
Age: 18.7

The Knicks have strong depth and versatility at nearly every position and can afford to take a couple of swings on long-term upside if they decide to keep one or both of their first-round picks. Carrington is one of the youngest players in this draft and will need time to gain strength and add experience before he's ready to play a real role in the NBA, but his positional size, dynamic perimeter shooting and strong basketball instincts make him someone a team in this range could bet on. -- Givony

26. Washington Wizards (via LA Clippers)

Juan Nunez
Ratiopharm Ulm
PG
Age: 19.8

With incumbent starter Tyus Jones entering free agency and potentially not on the same timetable as the rebuilding Wizards, drafting a young point guard to insert into the mix could be one direction the team opts to take this summer. Nunez is one of the best pick-and-roll playmakers in this draft at 19 years old and is coming off an excellent season in the competitive EuroCup and German league with Ratiopharm Ulm. -- Givony

27. Minnesota Timberwolves

Johnny Furphy
Kansas
SG/SF
Age: 19.3

Minnesota has favored positional size and versatility at forward in recent drafts as it looks to keep building out a supporting cast around Anthony Edwards. Furphy could be another one of those players, having flashed good instincts and the ability to impact games without heavy touches while becoming a surprise one-and-done candidate. He has work to do in all areas of his game, particularly on defense, but can help himself by shooting it well in workouts and reassuring teams of his value. -- Woo

28. Denver Nuggets

Tyler Kolek
Marquette
PG
Age: 23.0

The Nuggets have not been shy about targeting NBA-ready college players in recent drafts, and Kolek could be another fit along those lines. He has the moxie and pick-and-roll smarts to step in on a competitive team and provide backup minutes. His athletic limitations limit his upside, but he could be a useful plug-and-play pick off the bench in this part of the draft. -- Woo

29. Utah Jazz (via Oklahoma City)

Justin Edwards
Kentucky
SG/SF
Age: 20.3

Edwards did not have the season many expected at Kentucky but is still worthy of consideration in this area of the draft at 6-7 with some perimeter shooting acumen and upside to grow into after one season in college. The Jazz could look to bolster their wing depth, which could make Edwards a candidate to hear his name in the late first round. -- Givony

30. Boston Celtics

Kel'el Ware
Indiana
C
Age: 19.9

The Celtics can take a straight upside swing here at the end of the first round if they choose. Ware did well in producing at a high level toward the end of the season at Indiana, causing teams to take a longer look despite the long-held questions about his competitiveness and motor. His length, shooting ability and shot-blocking have always made him an interesting flier from an NBA perspective and the type of prospect who can really help himself in workout settings. A strong spring could see him sneak into the first round. -- Woo
