Looking towards next year, there is no Victor Wembanyama or Scoot Henderson. In fact, there is no consensus number one pick at all. There are more than a handful of players in consideration. It should be fun to see who differentiates themselves from the crowd over the next 15 months.
I still have a lot to learn when it comes to this next group of prospects, so this is just a first look.
I quickly ranked teams and ran a lottery generator. Number in parenthesis is the team’s original draft position.
