NEW YORK — Next year's draft class is full of question marks and thought to fall off a bit in terms of one-and-done talent. Projected at the top of the 2024 NBA Draft are a couple players on the G League Ignite and another player from France. If 6-foot-9 wing Zaccharie Risacher ends up going No. 1 next year, it will be the first time in draft history where two international players (and two players from France) are drafted with the first overall pick in back-to-back years. The Ignite have a ton of length and players with upside led by 6-11 wing Matas Buzelis, 6-6 guard Thierry Darlan and 6-7 wing Ron Holland.
Bronny James will be playing his freshman season at USC alongside the top guard coming out of high school, Isaiah Collier, and many NBA scouts are speculating that James will spend only one year at USC in hopes to join his dad, LeBron James, in the NBA the following season, becoming the first father-son duo to share the court in league history. USC will travel overseas to Greece and Croatia for a handful of games before the season; their season kicks off in Las Vegas on Nov.
Buzelis chose the G League Ignite over Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida State and Wake Forest. During the Jam Fest at the McDonald's All-American Game, Buzelis had the most impressive dunk that received a perfect score from the judges. With his length and skill set, Buzelis can be plugged into multiple positions on the court. He handles the ball like a guard, shoots it well from outside and is a great rebounder.
