2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Jazz needs to give up something to move into that draft to be able to draft him. 6'5" PG that can do everything is perfect. He is my guy
 

Power Forward​

Birth Date: July 12, 2005 (18 years old)
Height: 2.10m (6ft 11in)

Tournament Stats: 14.1 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 1.7 APG, 1.0 SPG, 1.0 BPG

Topic was not alone in leading Serbia to its third U18 title over the past five editions of the tournament, as Markovic was also the most impactful player for the eventual champions during a number of games. Standing at 2.10m, Markovic impressed with his versatility, being able to fill various roles for his team, whether it was by finishing plays at the rim, rebounding, putting the ball on the floor to attack closeouts and hit the occasional jumper.

Markovic's elite size, fluidity and all-around game makes him one of the most interesting big prospects in Europe. He should be expected to make an impact at the professional level very soon.
 

Forward​

Birth Date: April 20, 2005 (18 years old)
Height: 2.11m (6ft 11in)

Tournament Stats: 13.1 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 3.1 APG, 2.3 BPG, 2.0 SPG

Samodurov stood out at the FIBA U18 European Championship for a second straight year. He had already been a key part of last year's Greek squad playing one year up in age, and in 2023 he was able to lead the team to a seventh-place finish. The Panathinaikos forward stuffed the stat sheet by doing a bit of everything for Greece. Attacking the rim on drives, making passes on the move, shooting from the perimeter and, especially, contributing defensively, as he averaged 2.3 blocks and 2.0 steals per game.

Samodurov will go into the 2023-24 season as one of the most intriguing prospects ahead of next year's NBA Draft due to his unique combination of 2.11m size, ball-handling ability and defensive production - all aspects which were on full display in Nis.
 

Guard​

Birth Date: May 22, 2005 (18 years old)
Height: 1.90m (6ft 3in)

Tournament Stats: 20.0 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 4.0 APG, 1.3 SPG

Israel's sixth-place finish tied their best performance since 1992, and Doron had a tremendous impact, leading the entire tournament in scoring. Doron stands out due to his shooting ability, showing a great level of touch in difficult attempts off-the-dribble. He's also a threat to get to the rim, as he's able to beat defenders in the perimeter with a quick first step.

With 22-year-old Yam Madar making an impact at the highest levels of European basketball, 18-year-old Noam Yaacov being one of the standouts at the FIBA U20 European Championship and Doron having made an impact in Nis, it's clear that the Israel senior national team should have tremendous depth at the guard position for years to come.
