Washington Wizards: Zaccharie Risacher, F, France 
Risacher has become the No. 1 prospect for the 2024 NBA Draft. He is young and playing excellent basketball in Europe. An elite defender and shooter, he could be the face of the Wizards and somebody they could build the team around.
Detroit Pistons: Alexander Sarr, F, Spain 
Sarr is a 7-foot-1 athletic defender and rim protector who can play the four or five. He has a growing game and could pair with Jalen Durant for one excellent big duo. He can become a star.
San Antonio Spurs: Robert Dillingham, G, Kentucky 
The Spurs just need talent, but they could also scoring and a guard. Dillingham is arguably the No. 1 guard and offensive prospect in the 2024 NBA Draft. The 6-foot-4 guard fits them very well.
Memphis Grizzlies: Matas Buzelis, F, USA 
The Grizzlies lost Dillon Brooks in free agency and have a big need at the three. Buzelis would not only give them 6-foot-10 size at the position, but he has legitimate point forward talent.
Charlotte Hornets: Ja’Kobe Walter, SG, Baylor 
The Hornets have young studs at point guard, small forward and center, but what they really need is another big-time scorer, which is what Walter should be in the NBA. He would gives Charlotte 20-point talent and a starter at shooting guard.
Portland Trail Blazers: Reed Sheppard, G, Kentucky
Malcolm Brogdon is likely to be playing for another team next season, and Portland will need a versatile guard to replace him. As a shooter, defender and playmaker, Sheppard will be a big help right away and should be a strong fit with Scoot Henderson.
Houston Rockets: Isaiah Collier, PG, USC 
The Nets will be giving the Rockets a gift of a mid-lottery pick. Guard isn’t a big need, but Jalen Green could be moved this offseason. Collier, however, could replace much of Green’s offensive numbers.
San Antonio Spurs: Cody Williams, F, Kentucky
The Spurs need talent, and they also need a starting forward, which Williams should fit well. His shooting and scoring would get him minutes early, and he still has the potential to be a stud. A Dillingham-Williams lottery would be perfect for San Antonio.
Orlando Magic: Nikola Topic, PG, Serbia 
Although they have exceeded expectations this season, the Magic still have a long way to go to be a contender in the Eastern Conference. That road starts with finding a point guard who can control their offense and preferably shoot the ball to take some pressure off of their stars. Topic has good size for the position at 6-foot-6 and plays aggressive.
Utah Jazz: Ron Holland, SF, USA
Holland has had a rough year with the Ignite, but he came into the season as a star offensive talent and it’s still there. The Jazz develop talent very well and can turn him into a weapon.
Atlanta Hawks: Kyle Filipowski, PF, Duke 
Onyeka Okongwu looks like a strong starting five, but adding a 7-foot scoring and shooting big man like Filipowski would be a huge addition. He’s a guy who can be a main piece for Atlanta.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Dalton Knecht, SG, Tennessee 
Knecht is one of college’s biggest stars, and the senior forward is a prolific scorer with two straight seasons of elite numbers. The Thunder need draft picks who can help as a rookie, which Knecht would.
Chicago Bulls: Donovan Clingam, C, Connecticut 
Nikola Vucevic is aging, inconsistent and inefficient, and the Bulls need to find a young franchise big man. Clingam would give them a 7-foot-2 rim protector who is a talented scorer and rebounder.
Sacramento Kings: Kevin McCullar, G, Kansas 
The Kansas star senior is an excellent scorer and rebounder and has some playmaking talent and 6-foot-7 size. He also defends and could start next to Fox or be a sixth man.
New Orleans Pelicans: Kel’el Ware, C, Indiana 
Jonas Valancuinas is a solid center, but the Pelicans would be smart to invest in another. Ware is a double-double guy with 7-foot size as well as shot-blocking and shooting talents.
