While a French star is at the top of many draft boards, the similarities between the 2024 NBA Draft and 2023 edition end there. Victor Wembanyama, as Rick Pitino once put it, ain't walking through that door for the Atlanta Hawks this season, as the club has the first pick for the first time since 1975. They picked Hall of Famer David Thompson then, but he didn't pick them, choosing instead to sign with the ABA's Denver Nuggets.
This year there isn't any worry about which league the top players will choose, but it also isn't certain how the top picks will shake out.
