Indiana Pacers: Zach Edey, C, Purdue 
Edey is likely to win his second straight National Player of the Year trophy, but he has improved his game to the point that he might be a lottery pick. Myles Turner may not be long for Indiana, but the franchise needs big-man talent regardless, and Edey could be a consistent double-double guy in the NBA.
Miami Heat: Trevon Brazile, PF, Arkansas 
Brazille is an uber-athletic forward who is a strong shooter and blocks shots, which is rather rare. He has the appearance of the kind of role player Pat Riley loves.
New York Knicks: Justin Edwards, F, Kentucky 
Edwards has had a pretty average season, but there’s a reason why he was a lottery talent to start the season. The talent is there, he just needs to show it. He’s worth a gamble for the Knicks, who have two first-round picks.
Portland Trail Blazers: Tidjane Saulan, F, France 
The Trail Blazers would be smart to go for a home run with their second first-rounder in the very talented and the very raw Saulan. Portland is one of the few teams that has the proper time to develop him.
Los Angeles Lakers: Stephon Castle, G, Connecticut 
Castle missed games because of injury, but is playing a big role for a Final Four team. He needs to work on his jumper, but he is an efficient scorer with playmaking ability at 6-foot-6. There is a lot of potential for growth, and the Lakers could use a guard with size who can play with Reaves or Russell.
Philadelphia 76ers: Bobi Klintman, F, Sweden 
Klintman could have – probably not – been a first-rounder last year after a solid season at Wake Forest, but he’s played in the NBL – in Australia – this season. His draft stock is currently high, and he is looking like a first rounder.
New York Knicks: Juan Nunez, G, Spain 
Nunez rather randomly jumped on the draft scene as a second-round prospect a season ago as he is a big-time playmaker, but he had no efficiency as a point guard and very little defense. Now, at 19, he could be a first-rounder and has the ability to be an elite reserve. He also has the size to play with Brunson, which is important to the Knicks.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Tristen Da Silva, F, Colorado 
Da Silva is an excellent 6-foot-9 role player who can start in the NBA. The Cavaliers could really use someone like him added to their mediocre bench.
Phoenix Suns: Carlton Carrington, G, Pittsburgh 
Carrington has shown talent as a playmaker and strong acoring ability. He’s a combo guard with 6-foot-5 size who would give the Suns much needed offense off their bench.
Milwaukee Bucks: Ryan Dunn, G, Virginia 
The No. 1 defensive prospect in the 2024 NBA Draft to many would be a perfect fit with the Bucks who still need to get to where they were defensively with Jrue Holiday. Dunn has no shot and is limited on offense, but he will make a difference.
Minnesota Timberwolves: Tyler Kolek, PG, Marquette 
Kolek is one of the elite college players, a true point guard who can really score when needed. He also defends, which fits the Timberwolves. They also need a third guard in a big way.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Jared McCain, G, Duke 
McCain is an uber-talented scorer who can really shoot the ball, but he’s 6-foot-3 and has little point guard talent, meaning he’s likely a sixth man. The Thunder are an elite and deep team, but adding more oomph for their bench would be smart.
Denver Nuggets: Tyler Smith, PF, USA 
The third Ignite player in this mock is an excellent shooting big man, which in the NBA means you can have a role. The Nuggets haven’t really had a quality third big recently, and I feel Smith could be that for them.
Toronto Raptors: Devin Carter, G, Providence 
Carter really started to climb mid-season, and he seems to be a likely first rounder. Carter’s an excellent shooter and scorer who has improved playmaking ability and massive rebounding ability for being 6-foot-3. Carter has huge sixth man talent.
Boston Celtics: Johnny Furphy, G, Kansas 
Boston needs improved depth, and the Kansas guard is 6-foot-9 and a very versatile talent. He is a shooter and scorer with a lot of potential to improve. He would be a very solid reserve to Brown and Tatum.
