The latest 2024 NBA mock draft from Bleacher Report has a surprise at No. 1
The list of possible No. 1 overall picks in the 2024 NBA Draft continues to get longer.
In our third mock from Bryan Kalbrosky, he had the Pistons taking Baylor wing Ja’Kobe Walter for the top pick, and names like Alex Sarr from Perth and Nikola Topic out of Serbia have been thrown around as possible top picks.
Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman added another name to the list: Matas Buzelis from the Ignite as the first overall pick by the Pistons (Kalbrosky had him going eighth to the Bulls in his latest mock). Here’s what Wasserman had to say about his selection here:
In seven games since returning from an ankle injury, Matas Buzelis has turned heads with a combination of shotmaking, face-up fluidity, finishing and on-ball defense. For a 6’8″ wing, that mix creates a coveted archetype and an easy-to-picture fit, a trait that will hold extra value in a draft that’s lacking sure things at the top of the board.
