Draft day has arrived and all eyes are on where the top 4 picks will go. It's been speculated to the point where we're betting that the order they go is pretty set.
The other angle we're watching is how NCAA players are feeding into this draft. This is the first year where there are top prospects who chose the NBA G-League over the traditional NCAA college route, including top 4 favourite, Jalen Green, and Jonathan Kuminga, who also looks like a sure top 10. International contenders also could enter the top 10 here like Turkish Alperen Sengun and Aussie Josh Giddey. Watching the dynamic here will keep the draft interesting after the first 4 are scooped up.
