The NBA Draft is where the future becomes the present in the league, and it's not always the players at the top of the draft that make the most immediate impact.
Last season, everyone knew that Victor Wembanyama of France was going to be selected No. 1 overall to the San Antonio Spurs. He was the most anticipated draft prospect since LeBron James and entered the season with astronomical expectations.
This year's draft was different. There was no consensus top player, but instead a plethora of players that could emerge as the top of the 2024 class.
