2024 NBA Mock Draft: NCAA champion UConn puts three into first round, joined by Zach Edey

Plenty of college players showed their NBA potential with their performance in the NCAA Tournament

Updated mock draft after the historic repeat last night. UConn putting 3 players into the first round.

5: Clingan to Trail Blazers
8: Castle to the Jazz
30: Newton to the Celtics

If we can continue playing at a high level of team basketball while also putting guys in the NBA year after year we will be tough to beat on the recruiting trail, both high school and portal.

This program is the pinnacle with no signs of slowing down. I remember when Saban won his second title at Alabama, the announcers said (paraphrasing) - "this thing is just getting started too". That's now us on the court.

Also saw cam and Alex projected in the second in a few mocks

Newton to the Celtics makes sense. He is made with the Marcus Smart mentality that the C's love.

 

[Poe]

Three first rounders with two top ten lottery picks would be phenomenal.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Castle is going higher. Scouts are in love with him and the international guys have been pretty underwhelming.

 

[auror]

I can't see Newton going in the 1st.

Cam will definitely get an NBA contract with somebody, 2-way at minimum. We'll see if he's drafted.

Karaban has a real decision to make.

Castle is going higher. Scouts are in love with him and the international guys have been pretty underwhelming.

Give Castle 2-3 years to develop his jumper, and he’s an absolute superstar!

BR has the following:

5. Castle (Portland)
6. Clingan (Toronto)
51. Newton (Indy)
54. Karaban (Boston)
56. Spencer (Memphis)

Couple of others of note: Devin Carter at 15 to Miami, which should make Carter decide to leave Friars and enter draft. Edey up to 21 to Orlando.

 

[Kenny11]

Show Karaban the money and sell him on being the Big East player of the Year next season. We need him back.

Saw that. Dillingham and Sheppard are NOT going 2 and 3 though lol.

 

[Karmacop]

Castle and Clingan definitely going in the top 10 picks, maybe higher.

Newton and Cam probably going second round, or at least getting a two-way deal.

Karaban could possibly slip into the second round, could possibly get a two-way contract, or could possibly get neither. Will he increase his draft position by returning? Probably a little bit. As previously mentioned, he's the only question mark.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Show Karaban the money and sell him on being the Big East player of the Year next season. We need him back.

I think he tests the waters to get feedback but ultimately comes back. He has the chance to be even more of a focal point of the offense and show an expanded game next year. Feels like the right answer for a guy that will likely be a mid-second round guy.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Let’s hope New Orleans passes on all UConn players

 

[NJHusky]

Let’s hope New Orleans passes on all UConn players

And Charlotte too

 

[CTFIRERETIRED]

I did see 1 mock draft having DC going 5 and Edey going 10 or 11. Oh please I can't have this draft nonsense until June. I'm already burned-out with NFL draft craziness.

 

[Matrim55]

30: Newton to the Celtics

Oh god please make it happen!

NBAdraft.net has the below. I do not follow mock drafts too closely and know they are all over the place with accuracy and variances.

Castle - 8 to Houston
Clingan - 14 to Philly
Karaban - 36 to Philly
Spencer - 38 to Memphis
Newton - 44 to Philly

That’s arguably the worst Mock site, wouldn’t put too much thought into that one

 

[aceboon]

All of these mocks are meaningless right now before workouts, combine(if invited), and testing

 

[ColchVEGAS]

I am aware of that. Just thought it was interesting to compare against what the others are saying.

Would make my 76ers season tickets worth the cost and not just a business expense

 

[Tenspro2002]

Castle and Clingan should be lottery no question.

If we could get Newton into the 1st round that would be an amazing achievement, though I don't think it's likely. Ditto on Spencer getting drafted at all.

If Karaban is only projected as a 2nd rounder, he should come back, and I expect will.

 

[Huskyforlife]

KOC at the Ringer has Castle 1st, Clingan third.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

KOC at the Ringer has Castle 1st, Clingan third.

Tbf that’s draft board, doesn’t take into account fit/team needs. But an awesome thing to see.

 

[jibsey]

Alex has shooting touch midrange and to the rim. Do you all remember the game where he brought us back shooting on every possession? Usually a guard like Tristen or Cam did it for us, but we got no Tristen next year.
