If you’re looking for the next Victor Wembanyama, you’ve come to the wrong place. When it comes to the 2024 NBA Draft, we might not even have the next Victor Oladipo. Victor Khryapa? That might be doable. The consensus among talent evaluators is that this is the worst draft since 2013, when Anthony Bennett was the top pick and the final 33 selections produced just three rotation players. Yet there is quality in any draft if you look hard enough — even 2013 gave us Rudy Gobert and Giannis Antetokounmpo, not to mention Oladipo with the second pick. Teams are looking high and low on the draft board for those unappreciated talents who might have been graded too low. As miserable as the 2013 draft was, it still yielded six undrafted rotation players, including three (Robert Covington, Seth Curry and Daniel Theis) who are still in the league.
