G League Ignite wing Matas Buzelis is a mesmerizing prospect in the 2024 NBA Draft class.
Before his season with the Ignite, Buzelis was tabbed as a potential No. 1 pick across many mock drafts and big boards. His size, skillset and shooting ability coming out of high school and an extremely efficient senior season at Sunrise Christian Academy made for a strong case.
Buzelis’ pre-draft season with the G League Ignite didn’t go fully to plan, though, especially from the field. He isn’t fully at fault, as the Ignite program put out a less than ideal roster which resulted in minimal wins and development concerns for their draft prospects.
