1Alex SarrPF/CPerth (NBL)20051PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOSarr is the next player in a long line of mobile and versatile big men with very positive-looking fantasy games. Will undoubtedly need time to develop offensively but should be a likely cornerstone of any franchise.Top 60-75
3
2Nikola TopicPG/SGRed Star/KKCZ20059PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOTopic is an absolute lock for a top 3 dynasty pick. I worry about him early on when making the jump, but he has a good case for the highest offensive ceiling of the class.Top 75-90
4
3Reed SheppardPG/SGKentuckyFR2PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TODespite some size concerns, Sheppard's CBB profile is looking pretty elite and should translate over pretty well. He should be a key connector piece with a very versatile stat profile. Top 75-90
5
4Donovan ClinganCUConnSO5PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOClingan has easily cemented himself as the 2nd best big of the 2024 class behind Sarr. Pretty standard big man stats but plenty of skill and high-level play will make him a solid fantasy player.Top 85-100
6
5Stephon CastlePG/SG/SFUConnFR4PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOCastle is one of my absolute favorite players of this class. I believe his fantasy profile has the potential to develop into an elite-level guard over time, but don't expect a ton other than a good master of none-type early on.Top 90-120
7
6Ron HollandSF/PFG League Ignite20053PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOA ferocious athlete and driver, Holland is one of the most dynamic players of the class with a star-like gravity. He's currently a poor 3PT shooter but can make up for it in how much contact he draws for FTs as a shot develops.Top 85-100
8
TIER BREAK
9
7Rob DillinghamPG/SGKentuckyFR7PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOYou could make a pretty strong case for Dillingham and/or Buzelis into the next tier. Landing spot and role could certainly change that for arguably the most dynamic offensive player in this class. Great fantasy upside.Top 90-120
10
8Matas BuzelisSF/PFG League Ignite20046PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOIf Buzelis can play like he did in the last month of the Ignite season, we're going to see a fantasy star in the making. He has a ways to go but I really like his potential a lot if he continues to progress as a 3PT shooter.Top 90-120
11
9Cody WilliamsSG/SF/PFColoradoFR10PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOThere isn't much to Cody Williams' game that will excite at the moment. The upside is high, but you aren't drafting him for much immediate contribution. If he develops well, I see him being a very solid player.Top 100-130
12
10Devin CarterPG/SGProvidenceJR11PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TODevin Carter is another one of my favorites of the class. He's a bit older than most of the players in my top range, but I think he's going to become a great IRL and fantasy player quickly. Very high on him.Top 90-120
13
11Zaccharie RisacherSF/PFJL Bourg20058PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TORisacher's good performances in JL Bourg's ongoing playoffs will likely make his stock rise in fantasy and IRL. I'm not all that moved for fantasy for the most part, but the potential is undeniable.Top 100-130
14
TIER BREAK
15
12Johnny FurphySG/SFKansasFR15PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOI think Furphy feels a little underrated for dynasty at the moment. He's definitely in that lottery/post-lottery range for me in IRL and fantasy drafts. His combination of size, shooting, stocks and rebounding on the wing is exciting.Top 125-150
16
13Dalton KnechtSG/SFTennesseeSR12PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOKnecht is much more of a points player than a 9Cat player, but he's definitely the best pure shooter in this class and should knock a ton of shots down. Top 125-150
17
14Jared McCainPG/SGDukeFR16PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOMcCain is one of the best shotmakers of the class and has a dynamic scoring punch. His biggest flaw for fantasy will be his lack of assists. Good 3PT% as well despite the 46% FG.Top 125-150
18
15Isaiah CollierPG/SGUSCFR14PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOCollier will really need to improve his shooting and decision making at the next level. I have some confidence he can become a good point guard for fantasy purposes.Top 125-150
19
16Carlton CarringtonPG/SGPittFR24PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOCarrington has his share of concerns, but the upside is pretty darn high and he's displaying many skills we don't often see from 18 year-old guards. He'll be one of the youngest player of this draft. Landing spot will play a big role for him.Top 125-150
20
17Kyle FilipowskiPF/CDukeSO19PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOOn paper, the only thing fully against Filipowski is the regression in his FT% from 2022-2023. I do worry a bit about his NBA role as a poor defender at his position, but there are realistic archetypes for him to be really good.Top 150-200
21
TIER BREAK
22
18Tyler SmithSF/PFG League Ignite200413PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOI like Tyler Smith's all-around game on the premise of shooting consistency. He fits into any team's rotation like a glove. Give him some time to improve defensively and he's going to be a nice player.Top 150-200
23
19Zach EdeyCPurdueSR35PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOWill Edey ever hold down a full-time NBA starter job? I'm not sure. Will he do enough in a rotation role to make big IRL and fantasy contributions? I'd be shocked if he doesn't.Top 150-200
24
20Kel'el WareCIndianaSO17PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOWare has had an excellent resurgence in Indiana this season and made the last few weeks count. He'll have some questions, most notably on his motor, but I like the potential. There could be more to his shooting with time.Top 150-200
25
21Yves MissiCBaylorFR20PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOMissi possesses some great physical tools that should keep him looking strong during his development. Has some traditional big man stats but has a potentially high ceiling.Top 150-200
26
22Ja'Kobe WalterSG/SFBaylorFR18PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOWalter is another example of a better points player than a 9Cat one. He projects as a good scorer who likely chucks a lot of shots on meh efficiency. Still, the upside is here.Top 150-200
27
23Tristan Da SilvaSF/PFColoradoSR21PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOIn terms of fantasy, Da Silva should likely be a master of none rotation player that won't hurt you anywhere, but I'm curious if he can provide more over time. I trust he's a long-term piece for any team that takes him.Top 150-200
28
TIER BREAK
29
24DaRon Holmes IIPF/CDaytonJR23PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOHolmes is one of my favorite late 1st round players in this draft. He's had a great career at Dayton and should make an immediate impact as a rotation big that can pull spot starts.Top 175-225
30
25Jamir WatkinsSG/SFFSUJR22PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOWatkins feels like another player in a long line of do-it-all wings that make huge contributions to winning teams. Very interested in him and where he lands, but I really buy the fantasy upside and well-rounded profile.Top 175-225
31
26Tidjane SalaunSF/PFCholet (France)200529PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOThere's some alleged growing interest in Salaun in the lottery range. I'm not sure I can buy it right now, but he's nonetheless an interesting player who could become more than a rotation type of player.Top 175-225
32
27Jaylon TysonSG/SFCaliforniaJR27PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOThere's a lot to love about Jaylon Tyson and what he showed at California this season. If he can successfully translate his high-usage role into a lower-usage one, you're going to be mad you didn't grab him.Top 225+
33
28Ryan DunnSG/SFVirginiaSO31PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TODunn will be a standout defender and stock getter in the NBA just as he was for Virginia. If he can develop much offensive skill over time, I'm curious how far he can go.Top 225+
34
29Tyler KolekPGMarquetteSR25PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOOne of the most pro-ready contributors in this draft, Kolek has an elite feel for the game and is a super talented passer. He'll make his bread off assists and 3s for fantasy. Expect to see him around the NBA for a while.Top 225+
35
30Jonathan MogboSF/PF/CSan FranciscoJR52PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOMogbo is ascending after a fantastic Combine performance with impressive measurements so far. He looks low on my newest 3.0 big board, but he's heavily on the rise now. He should be a priority pick in the early 30s of fantasy drafts.Top 225+
36
31Ulrich ChomchePF/CNBA Academy Africa200534PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOChomche is pretty raw and will have a ways to go on his development, but the talent is already looking strong. The 3PT potential is great for a big.Top 225+
37
32Ajay MitchellPG/SGSanta BarbaraJR38PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOOn paper, Ajay Mitchell has a pretty flawless game for a guard. The biggest key is proving that the 3PT shooting growth is real and he will keep taking them. I think there's a small but very real chance he can be an IRL/fantasy star.Top 225+
38
TIER BREAK
39
33Kyshawn GeorgeSG/SFMiamiFR26PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOThere's no question that George has some legitimate potential with great size, shotmaking, passing, and ball handling, but he's already 20 for a freshman and there are some risk elements in his profile both IRL and in fantasy.TBD
40
34Pacome DadietSF/PFRatiopharm Ulm200528PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TODadiet will need to become a consistent shooter long-term in order to take further steps as a player. Not a very robust fantasy profile on paper, but the upside is certainly high for what he is.TBD
41
35Bobi KlintmanSF/PFCairns (NBL)200336PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOKlintman doesn't offer a very exciting fantasy game right now if he's mostly going to be a 3PT shooter with good rebounds, but I think the ceiling is at least interesting given his 6'10" height if he can develop well.TBD
42
36Peyton SandfortSG/SFIowaJR33PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOOne of the best shooters in the class with the elite percentages to back it up. Sandfort is very underrated and, in my opinion, can be more than a 3PT specialist. Watch out for him to rise.TBD
43
37Hunter SallisSGWake ForestJR36PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOI have my qualms about bits of Sallis' game, but he's a great scorer and shooter. If he can beef up his profile and develop effectively as an off-ball player, I buy the potential.TBD
44
38Dillon JonesSF/PFWeber StateSR42PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOJones flashed a very well-rounded fantasy profile at Weber State, but I really don't know how it translates over, considering how heavily he played on the ball. I'm curious to see what his NBA role looks like.TBD
45
39JT ToppinPFNew MexicoFROTBPTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOOne of the more interesting stay or return decisions will be Toppin, who already looks like a dominant, uber-athletic 4 with great finishing. He's a bit undersized, but the ceiling feels very high for a player with these skills that's still 18.TBD
46
40Nikola DjurisicSG/SFMega MIS200448PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TODjurisic is making a great case for his shooting and overall skill. He'll need to keep proving how real the shooting is and might stay put overseas for a year, but I do think he's close to being ready for the NBA.TBD
47
41Nique CliffordSG/SFColorado StateSR43PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOI really like how well-rounded Nique Clifford is as an all-around connective piece. Solid rebounding, passing and percentages gives him kind of a knockoff brand Mikal Bridges vibe.TBD
48
42Izan AlmansaPF/CG League Ignite200540PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOAlmansa's profile doesn't look all that sharp for fantasy purposes. He is pretty raw and will need some time, where he can hopefully develop more to his game.TBD
49
43Kevin McCullar Jr.SG/SFKansasSR32PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOIt's a little hard for me to be interested in McCullar here. He seems like a good IRL player who can do some OK things for fantasy (particularly as a passer). Maybe I'll be surprised, but I think you can do better in this range.TBD
50
TIER BREAK
51
44PJ HallPF/CClemsonSR30PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOLike Kyle Filipowski, there's a feasible world in which PJ Hall can really work and be an effective floor spacing big. I quite like him and his potential if he can improve as a defender.TBD
52
45Justin EdwardsSG/SFKentuckyFR35PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOEdwards won't really kill you anywhere as a 3&D type of prospect right now, but he really doesn't look all that exciting for fantasy. The opportunity for a cheap flier on a guy who looked great just a calendar year ago is intriguing.TBD
53
46Trey AlexanderPG/SGCreightonJR39PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOAlexander has a lot of swing skills that can make him a good player. I do like his defensive potential with his long wingspan and he's a very solid facilitator. TBD
54
47Alex KarabanSG/SFUConnSO41PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOKaraban is essentially a 3PT specialist who can provide some good defense. It doesn't translate to a very enticing fantasy prospect, but there is something worthwhile here nonetheless.TBD
55
48Oso IghodaroCMarquetteSR44PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOTo me, Ighodaro is the closest thing to Kevon Looney in this draft: a low-usage big who can rebound the heck out of the ball and won't likely score a lot. He's a very interesting 2nd round target to the right team.TBD
56
49Adem BonaPF/CUCLASO47PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOBona is a bit limited as an interior scorer, but he does excel there as a big, physical player that can rebound and block shots well. Could he be the Trayce Jackson-Davis of this class?TBD
57
50KJ SimpsonPGColoradoJR46PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOSimpson's height might limit him to being more of a backup PG, but I like his IRL and fantasy appeal and think he can be a very capable player.TBD
58
51Baylor ScheiermanSG/SFCreightonSR55PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOScheierman has a lot of fans in the draft community. I think he's certainly interesting as a rotation player even though I have questions. He's a strong shooter and will be his calling card at the next level.TBD
59
TIER BREAK
60
52Juan NunezPGRatiopharm Ulm200449PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TONunez has great tools and finesse as a playmaker and pass-first guard. Hard to say if he makes the jump over to the NBA immediately but it's possible. He's got the makings of a solid backup PG.TBD
61
53Mark SearsPGAlabamaSR51PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOMark Sears could be an excellent NBA player as a total flamethrower of a scorer if he works out, but he's going to be the 3rd shortest player in the NBA if he's drafted. Some solid potential, but still.TBD
62
54Coleman HawkinsSF/PFIllinoisSR50PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOI wouldn't be surprised if Hawkins returns to school since initial feedback on him doesn't appear to be great. That being said, there is more than a little fantasy appeal to his current profile.TBD
63
55Harrison IngramSF/PFUNCJR53PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOIngram isn't likely to be a very good scorer at the next level, but the swing skills he offers as a point forward-ish type of player with a potential to shoot the 3 a tiny bit are at least interesting. He can probably be a glue guy eventually.TBD
64
56Jamal SheadPGHoustonSRUDFAPTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOShead was an excellent POA defender and playmaker at Houston. His height will make it tough for him to succeed, but he does have some quality skills to offer an NBA team. TBD
65
57Melvin AjincaSG/SFSt. Quentin200554PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOAjinca undeniably has some potential for being a good shotmaker at 18, but there's not much fantasy upside here for my money. Standard 3&D is the ideal NBA-caliber version of him you can realistically hope for.TBD
66
58Cam SpencerSGUConnSR57PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOOn paper, Cam Spencer has a solid fantasy profile with no big holes in it, but the obvious issue is that he's not going to have the on-ball roles he had at UConn in the NBA. I do think he can maintain an efficient rotation role, though.TBD
67
59AJ JohnsonPG/SG/SFIllawara (NBL)2004UDFAPTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOThere's definitely something here to unlock for an NBA player, but AJ Johnson has not impressed me at the NBL level. He's looked decent at the Combine, so maybe someone is buying in on the impressive athleticism.TBD
68
60Jalen BridgesSG/SFBaylorSR56PTS REB AST STL BLK 3PT FG% FT% TOBridges seems like someone who may be better IRL than in fantasy, but there is some definite 3&D potential here. Good, efficient shooter and arguably one of the best wing defenders of this class.TBD
