Sam Vecenie updard big board

Next year’s draft is seen as one of the weakest cycles of talent in the last decade – at least at the top of the class. Recent McDonald’s All-American, Nike Hoop Summit and Iverson Classic events have been loaded with top potential 2024 prospects and open to NBA evaluators. I’ve asked a number of NBA executives, scouts and agents over the last month at what pick in the 2023 draft do they think their current favorite player in the 2024 draft would be taken. The answer I get is typically somewhere between No. 5 and No. 8. Some NBA evaluators believe there is no player in the 2024 class who would be taken in the top seven of this class. I personally think that is a bit aggressive, but I wouldn’t take any of the 2024 prospects currently over my top five in 2023. These players, of course, are a year behind in terms of their development.

…So where does that leave the 2023 class? Right now, I have Victor Wembanyama in his own tier at No. 1. The next tier would come from No. 2 down to No. 5. Then, another tier from No. 6 to No. 12. The next group goes from No. 13 to No. 22, and those are the players I feel very confident will hear their names called in the first round right now. After that, it’s a free-for-all from No. 23 down to about No. 42, with all of those players having a very realistic chance to play their way into a first-round pick or slide out and have to answer real questions about whether they stay in this draft class.

Here is where my board stands now.

To think that Jordan Hawkins is better than Keyonte George is silly.

Crazy that Mike Miles is so low. Maxwell Lewis too.

The more i see from Bufkin the more i like. Bufkin>>Wallace>>Keyonte>>>NSJ
 
Let me ask y’all…

How do y’all evaluate talent?

How do you to see a guy play exceptionably well but then differentiate if it’s strictly due to his competition vs his ability?

What do you look for when evaluating?

What’s a good thing to use to separate prospects who are relatively close to each other? Outside of their body differences?
