Despite a potentially weak 2024 draft class, someone should exceed expectations.
It's likely not flown below anyone's radar that the 2024 NBA Draft class was not projected as being particularly strong.
So, let's explore some names and see what we can try to predict, to the best of our abilities. We'll rank these players with a potential ranking between 1-10, with 1 being a borderline NBA player, and 10 being the next Victor Wembanyama.When you have a guard with genuine size , who can defend at a high level, is athletic, and has playmaking chops to the point where he might become your starting point guard, you know you have something special.
For Castle, it all comes down to the ability of scaling his role up and down. Will he be more of a tertiary component, or a featured player? Will he swing between those roles pending who is on the roster year-by-year? He's one of the rare players from this class who seem to possess both a high floor, and a high ceiling.
It's fair to wonder if he ever becomes a real superstar, but his two-way production, combined with his offensive upside, could catapult him into an unexpectedly high level.While we've yet to see the 7-foot-2 center's shooting upside be applied much, we do know the Blazers themselves believe in it, and think his future NBA role is vastly different than the one he had in college, playing alongside the aforementioned Castle at UCONN.
