All questions on the 2024 NBA Draft

As the 2024 NBA Draft draws near, opinions have started surfacing about the potential to be seen in the young talent. According to Jeff Goodman of the Field of 68, as one NBA general manager said: 

"This is an absolutely awful draft. There's no guy that projects as a franchise player, no one that even stands out as the No. 1 pick. This is the type of draft that gets someone fired if they get the No. 1 pick."


Surprisingly, he went above and beyond to say that even the No. 1 draft pick could cost someone their job, as any potential bad decision could get them fired.

The Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards hold a 14% chance each of securing the No. 1 overall pick, intensifying the anticipation as both teams await their fate.

While not as star-studded as the previous year, the 2024 draft still presents an opportunity for these teams to find players who can serve as foundational pieces or solid rotation players, injecting hope and excitement into the process.
