From the ridiculously hilarious to the seriously accurate, comparing NBA Draft prospects to established NBA players is a fun way to envision what incoming players could become.
That’s why yesterday, we at Blazer’s Edge issued a clarion call to our readers to give us their best player comparisons for the 2024 NBA Draft class. As they frequently do, our readers responded, delivering a wide variety of comparisons over 144 total comments. They ranged from serious to silly. For instance, I saw comparisons of Alexandre Sarr to Jaren Jackson Jr. or Clint Capela; I also saw a player get compared to salami meat.
