2024 Draft Prospect Write-Ups: On-Ball Guards
Nikola Topić / Red Star (Serbia)
Height/Wingspan: 6’6” / Unreported
Rookie Season Age: 19
Player Type: Lead Playmaker / Slashing Driver
Game Reminds Me Of: Franz Wagner / Mario Hezonja
Topić is a heady playmaker with well above average size for his position. He has a plus handle, and he’s surprisingly quick with his first step and lateral movement. He plays with very good contact balance as a driver, which allows him to be a quality finisher with both hands despite lacking elite vertical athleticism. He’s a solid passer as well, particularly when finding shooters off his own penetration, or in transition with outlet and hit-ahead passes. He needs to work on his intermediate game, and his ability to decelerate and get to floaters or manipulate the timing of the rim protector.
The big question for Topić is his jump shot, as he connected on just 30.6% of his 4.8 three-point attempts per 36 minutes this season in Serbia. However, I don’t think that there’s anything structurally broken about his shooting form, and I like that he was consistently aggressive shooting behind ball screens when opponents went under the screener. He’s unlikely to ever be a movement shooter, but I think he can grow into being a capable shooter off the dribble and a player who the defense can’t ignore when he’s off the ball.
Defensively, Topić’s size gives him some positional versatility, which is good because he plays too upright to be a positive point of attack defender in the NBA right now. I think he’ll be an adequate wing defender as he gets stronger, but he’s probably never going to be a true difference maker, or someone you want guarding opposing point guards.
As long as Topić reaches respectability from the three-point line, he does enough things well on the offensive end to profile as a starting-level perimeter player. His combination of size, age and skill level with the ball in his hands gives him a realistic path to All-Star level play, which is why he ranks #1 for me.

2. Isaiah Collier / USC
Height/Wingspan: 6’3” / 6’4”
Rookie Season Age: 20
Player Type: On-Ball Shot Creator / Secondary Playmaker / Point of Attack Defender
Game Reminds Me Of: Jalen Suggs
The #1 ranked recruit in the high school class of 2023, Collier is a physical, aggressive lead guard who is used to the bright lights and having the ball in his hands. His freshman season at USC was a bit of a mess due to the quality of players and coaches around him, but Collier held his own, posting respectable true shooting (56.7%) while handing a large workload (29.7% usage). He’s not an explosive vertical athlete (34-inch max vertical leap), but his agility metrics are rock solid, most notably his 2.9 second shuttle run.
Collier is shifty with the ball in his hands, using his crossover dribble to generate an advantage and then shielding the defender off with his strong frame. He seeks out contact in the lane (6.9 free-throw attempts per 36 minutes), and he has a good understanding of angles and balance as a finisher. He has above-average straight line speed that allows him to be a weapon in transition, and he’s a solid (if unspectacular) passer, both out of isolation and in pick and roll. Collier shot just 33.8% from three this past season, but I think there’s room for him to grow into being at least average from beyond the arc as an NBA point guard. He may not ever be a plus shooter off the bounce, but his catch and shoot form is solid and he doesn’t turn down open looks.
Collier was lackadaisical at times on the defensive end at USC, but when he locks in, he can be a menace at the point of attack due to his quickness and strength. I believe he’ll be an above-average, maybe even excellent defender at both guard spots in the NBA, especially as he gains experience. I think he’ll have less on-ball creation responsibilities in the pros than he did in college, which should allow him to dedicate more energy to the defensive end of the court.
I’m not sure Collier has the mid-range scoring or overall shooting chops to be an All-Star, but he’s as safe a bet as any player at his position to have a long NBA career due to his balanced all-around game.

3. Reed Sheppard / Kentucky
Height/Wingspan: 6’3” / 6’3”
Rookie Season Age: 20
Player Type: Shooting Specialist / Secondary Handler / Point of Attack Defender
Game Reminds Me Of: Immanuel Quickley / Avery Bradley / Payton Pritchard
Sheppard’s film from his freshman season at Kentucky is difficult to decipher. He was incredibly efficient (69.9% true shooting, 52.1% 3FG), but he didn’t have the ball in his hands very often (18.0% usage). He averaged a whopping 3.1 steals per 36 minutes, but with only a 6’3” wingspan and middling agility testing, it’s hard to say whether his disruptive tendencies will translate to the NBA.
Sheppard’s balance is incredible: He has a remarkable ability to stay square to the basket at all times, which allows him to consistently repeat his shot mechanics. He’s a major weapon as a shooter, both off the catch and on the move. He didn’t showcase much ability to create space in isolation and get to his jumper off the dribble, but again, that may have more to do with Kentucky’s offense than his own abilities.
Sheppard makes good decisions as a driver, as he has a nice floater game and he’s a solid passer with plus vision. I’m not sure how creative he is initiating out of pick and roll or isolating against a set defense, but he should be a weapon coming off handoffs or attacking closeouts. He’s also an excellent hit-ahead passer in transition, and he has above-average straight-line speed, which allows him to push on the break himself.
Defensively, Sheppard plays with elite balance and anticipation, and he’s very hard to beat off the dribble. However, his physical tools probably make him a one-position defender, as he can be overpowered in the lane, and although he will rack up steals, his impact as a help defender is limited by his size.
I think Sheppard profiles long term as a really good third guard whose combination of shooting, point of attack defense and high IQ makes him an impact bench piece. However, there’s also a chance he has (or will develop) way more on-ball prowess than he was able to show at Kentucky, in which case he might be an All-Star caliber point guard.

4. Devin Carter / Providence
Height/Wingspan: 6’3” / 6’8”
Rookie Season Age: 22
Player Type: Shot Creating Combo Guard / Versatile Perimeter Defender
Game Reminds Me Of: Leandro Barbosa / Kevin Martin / Eric Gordon
Carter has been a late riser in the pre-draft process, and for good reason. His 6’8” wingspan gives him multi-position defensive versatility, and he smashed the combine testing, posting a 42-inch max vertical leap and 2.87 ¾-court sprint. Carter was highly productive in his junior season at Providence as well, earning 2023-24 Big East Player of the Year while posting 59.7% true shooting on 28.1% usage.
Carter’s growth as a shooter is noteworthy: After shooting 29.9% on 3.5 3PA per game as a sophomore, he connected on 37.7% of his 6.8 attempts per game this past season. Carter has a very low release, which is concerning, but he also has exceptionally deep range, which helps alleviate concerns about getting his shot off. He’s shown an ability to make jumpers off the dribble and the catch, and Providence even ran plays for him to get open looks off of down and flare screens.
Carter is a grab-and-go weapon in transition, thanks to his rebounding ability (8.8 reb. per 36 min.), speed, and ability to finish with both hands. He has a very nice euro-step move that he uses in the half-court as well, and he understands how to decelerate in order to create separation from the defender at the rim. He can play out of pick and roll, but he’s definitely a scorer more than a distributor: I think he’ll be at his most effective attacking closeouts rather than initiating offense.
Carter utilizes his length on the defensive end, averaging over 1 block and nearly 2 steals per game. His length and athleticism make him an appealing defensive prospect, and I think he’ll be able to hold his own across both guard spots.
I don’t think Carter’s a pure point guard by any means, and his advanced age means he may already be somewhat maxed out from a skill perspective. Additionally, his late-career breakout as a shooter, combined with questionable shot mechanics, make me wary he may be prone to some regression. However, Carter’s range, versatility and mindset as a shooter and scorer mostly allay those concerns, and his combination of aggressive scoring and solid defense make me pretty confident he’ll be a starting-level combo guard in the NBA.
Projected NBA Role: Quality Starter
NBA Upside: Priority Starter
5. Rob Dillingham / Kentucky
Height/Wingspan: 6’2” / 6’3”
Rookie Season Age: 20
Player Type: Shot Creator / Movement Shooter
Game Reminds Me Of: Kemba Walker / Nate Robinson / Anfernee Simons
Dillingham is a very fun player to watch, as he’s an explosive scorer who plays with a ton of confidence and energy. Unlike his teammate Sheppard, Dillingham had a huge scoring workload in Kentucky’s offense (30.3% usage), and his three-point efficiency (44.4% 3FG on 6.9 attempts per 36 minutes) was very impressive. However, Dillingham is small and incredibly slight (164 pounds), and it’s worth noting that he did not partake in the NBA combine testing.
That being said, I don’t think Dillingham is lacking for vertical explosion: He gets great elevation on his jump shot, and he gets off the ground extremely quickly. He consistently creates separation with his handle, and his step-back jumper is a thing of beauty. He also understands how to move off-ball to set himself up for open threes, and he has some impressive acrobatic finishes as a driver.
Dillingham is looking to score when he has the ball, but he’s a capable passer as well. He can manipulate defensive timing out of the pick and roll, and he will throw kick out passes to shooters with both hands and from all angles. I worry that his diminutive frame limits his ability to put defenders in jail behind him, but he may be able to create enough separation with quickness for that not to matter.
It’s hard to imagine Dillingham being anything besides a below-average defender. He’ll snag the occasional steal, but he’s going to get overpowered by NBA size on a regular basis, and although he plays hard, he doesn’t have great off-ball awareness.
I think Dillingham will end up being a 6th-man type scorer who takes over some games with his scoring and shooting ability, but ultimately doesn’t have enough as a distributor or defender to be a reliable starting point guard. However, there is a possibility that he weaponizes his jump-shooting well enough to become a lead offensive engine, in which case his production could outweigh his weaknesses.

6. Ajay Mitchell / UC Santa Barbara
Height/Wingspan: 6’4” / 6’6”
Rookie Season Age: 22
Player Type: Lead Playmaker
Game Reminds Me Of: Austin Reaves / D’Angelo Russell
Mitchell, a native of Belgium, is a smooth lefty who has good size for a combo guard. He put together a highly productive career at UCSB, winning Big West Player of the Year as a Sophomore, and earning All-Big West honors in all three of his college seasons. He upped his three-point percentage to 39.3% this past season, and he was an extremely efficient offensive engine, posting 61.2% true shooting on 31.1% usage.
Mitchell has an excellent feel for how to play out of pick and roll, using his big frame to shield off the defender and methodically working his way to his spots. He has good footwork and a good feel for the mid-range game, and he knows how to bait opponents into fouls (7.2 FTA per 36 min.). While Mitchell is quick and shifty with the ball in his hands, he’s not an explosive athlete (33.5-inch max vertical), and he will likely struggle to get all the way to the rim in the NBA. He’s an above-average passer, and he has a nice understanding of how to time his dump-offs to the roll man.
Mitchell’s swing offensive skill will be his three-point shot, as he has a low release and prefers to work from the mid-range, averaging only 3.3 3PA per 36 minutes this past season. If he can develop into a good enough shooter to be a threat off the ball, he could be a really nice NBA guard with multi-position versatility who is a clear plus on the offensive end.
Defensively, Mitchell has enough size and strength to avoid being out-muscled, but he’s probably not going to be above average at the point of attack, as he struggles to fight through ball screens. That being said, I think the physical profile is there for him to avoid being a liability, especially if he can slide down the positional spectrum and defend on the wing.

7. Jared McCain / Duke
Height/Wingspan: 6’3” / 6’3”
Rookie Season Age: 20
Player Type: Shooting Specialist / Secondary Handler
Game Reminds Me Of: Malcolm Brogdon / Patty Mills / Seth Curry
McCain is one of the best shooters in the class, coming off a freshman season at Duke in which he knocked down 41.4% of his threes on 6.6 attempts per 36 minutes. He played some of his best basketball for the Blue Devils in March, going over 30 points in two of Duke’s 4 NCAA tournament games.
McCain plays with truly exceptional balance: His ability to square himself to the basket is really encouraging when projecting how his shooting will translate to the next level. He has deep range off the catch and off the dribble, and he’s a threat as a movement shooter as well. He plays with great confidence for a youngster, and he will aggressively hunt his jump shot in transition as well as the half-court.
At just 6’3”, and without a plus wingspan, McCain profiles best at point guard, but he didn’t show a ton of on-ball traits in college. Part of that was Duke’s personnel, as he often played alongside two ball handlers with more seniority in the program. However, I’m not convinced he has the pick and roll chops nor the explosive first step necessary to be a lead guard in the NBA. His athletic profile as a whole is concerning, as his 33-inch max vert is well below average, and his agility metrics at the combine were middling across the board. While he’s got a well-developed frame at 200+ lbs., his lack of length is a concern on the defensive end as well. I believe he’ll compete hard at the point of attack, but he’s going to struggle on the wing and he doesn’t profile as much of an asset as a help defender.
If McCain develops as a ball handler and playmaker, his combination of shooting, toughness and IQ could lead him to a long career as a solid starting point guard. More likely, I see him as a very useful third guard who can fill it up from deep.

8. KJ Simpson / Colorado
Height/Wingspan: 6’1” / 6’4”
Rookie Season Age: 22
Player Type: Athletic Slasher / Versatile Shooter
Game Reminds Me Of: Donte DiVincenzo / Gabe Vincent
Simpson was one of the most productive guards in the country this past season at Colorado, earning All-Pac-12 1st team honors while averaging close to 20 points and 5 assists per game. He’s another guard in this class who took a major leap as a shooter late in his college career, upping his 3pt. % from 27.6% as a Sophomore to 43.4% as a Junior, which is the main reason he posted over 60% true shooting.
Simpson is an aggressive downhill driver, explosive enough to finish above the rim (40.5-inch max vertical leap), and crafty enough to consistently draw contact (5.2 FTA per 36 minutes). He’s also a versatile shooter, as Colorado ran a lot of actions to get him open off flare screens and down screens, and he was effective at getting his feet set after a full speed cut. He needs to improve his handle, as he’s more of a straight line attacker than a pick and roll craftsman or an isolation magician. That loose handle limits his mid-range ability as well, although he does have a decent floater game that is helped by his ability to elevate.
Simpson is tough, plays with great energy, and has a plus wingspan for his height, all of which lead me to believe he can be an average or above-average defender. He was active in passing lanes on film, and I think there’s room for him to grow at the point of attack, especially once less is required from him at the offensive end.
Simpson will be 22 as a rookie, which makes his lack of ball handling more of a concern for me. I think it’s unlikely he has the on-ball skill to be a starting point guard, but there’s a clear pathway to a solid bench contributor through his athleticism and shot-making.

9. Carlton “Bub” Carrington / Pittsburgh
Height/Wingspan: 6’5” / 6’8”
Rookie Season Age: 19
Player Type: Shot Creator / Volume Scorer
Game Reminds Me Of: Bones Hyland / Brandon Ingram
As one of the youngest players in the draft (turns 19 on 7/21/24), and with an intriguing physical profile, Carrington is a true home-run swing. I expect multiple NBA teams to be significantly higher on him than I am.
At present, Carrington’s game is predicated on his ability to create jump shots for himself. He gets good elevation on his pull-up jumper, and his height and length often leave him relatively unbothered by contests from shorter defenders. He has an intriguing handle for a 6’5” 18-year-old, and he’s got legitimate shift with his crossover dribble. Although he only connected on 32.2% of his three-point attempts this past season, it’s encouraging that he attempted 6.6 per 36 minutes, and I believe he’ll be a quality three-point shooter in the NBA, provided he improves his shot selection. He’s also a solid passer who seeks out opportunities to work out of pick and roll, and his height affords him the luxury of certain passing angles that are out of reach for smaller players.
It’s possible this improves as he gets stronger, but Carrington really struggled to get to the rim with any sort of consistency at Pitt. He’s not explosive with his first step, nor is he strong enough to muscle his way to the basket without being pushed off his spot. In spite of his length, Carrington profiles as a poor defender because of that lack of burst. I can’t see him holding up at the point of attack, and I wasn’t particularly impressed by his defensive awareness off the ball either.
I have little doubt that Carrington is going to be a net negative as a rookie, and he might even be better served getting the majority of his ‘24-25 minutes in the G-League. However, if he continues to get stronger, and his shot-making develops to where he’s efficient enough to live in the mid-range, there’s definitely a higher ceiling for him than many of the other guards in this draft.

10. Juan Núñez / Ratiopharm Ulm (Germany)
Height/Wingspan: 6’4” / Unreported
Rookie Season Age: 20
Player Type: High-IQ Facilitator
Game Reminds Me Of: Joe Ingles / Alexey Shved
In a lot of ways, Núñez is the classic European guard. He’s a below-average vertical athlete, but he mitigates that to some degree with above-average size and an advanced understanding of angles and body positioning. He’s a feisty competitor as well, with a flare for late-game playmaking and a clear ability to get under his opponent’s skin.
Núñez’s standout skill is his passing ability: He averaged 7.6 assists per 36 minutes this past season while playing in Germany. He’s an excellent hit-ahead and outlet passer in transition, and in the half-court, he finds cutters and shooters with accurate, high-velocity feeds. He has a tendency to get overly flashy at times, which can lead to some unnecessary turnovers, but he also has some impressive no-look and tight window assists that pop on his film.
Núñez is pretty quick for his size and has a tight handle, but he relies on craft as a finisher, and he’s not a threat to score from the mid-range outside of the (very) occasional floater. While he doesn’t shy away from launching threes when the defense went under on ball screens, he has a slow release and connected on just 31.6% of his triples last season. I don’t think it’s out of the question that he becomes adequate as a catch-and-shoot guy in the NBA, but he’s not going to be a true threat to score off the bounce as a jump shooter, which may make it difficult for his passing to really shine as defenses dare him to punish them as a scorer.
Defensively, Núñez appears to have long arms and quick hands, and he’s excellent at hunting steals both on and off the ball (2.6 steals per 36 minutes). However, he can be overly aggressive as well, which leads to both fouls and blow-bys. I think he has a high enough IQ and enough size to be a solid team defender, but at the point of attack, he plays very upright and may be exposed by NBA athleticism and foul-baiting.

11. Tyler Kolek / Marquette
Height/Wingspan: 6’2” / 6’2”
Rookie Season Age: 23
Player Type: High-IQ Facilitator
Game Reminds Me Of: Milos Teodosić / Facundo Campazzo
A second-team consensus All-American in his senior season at Marquette, Kolek had a real case as the best point guard in college basketball last season. He’s a relentless competitor and an unapologetic agitator, and he was exceptionally productive throughout the entirety of his college career.
Kolek was the unquestioned captain of the ship at Marquette, as he had the ball in his hands for the vast majority of their offensive possessions. He has a good understanding of court mapping, and he prefers to play at a slower, dribble-pounding pace, affording himself time to read the defense. He can dissect opponents with his passing, which is by far his best attribute. He hits shooters with accurate pocket passes, manipulates help defenders out of pick and roll, and fits the ball into tight windows. He’s strong, and has good footwork once he gets into the paint. Kolek is definitely not an explosive athlete, he relies on craft and trickery to finish at the rim.
While he connected on 38.8% of his threes last season, Kolek has a low and long release that I don’t think is going to allow him to get to his shot off the dribble in the NBA. He’ll be above-average off the catch, but I’m not sure how relevant that is because he’s going to need to have the ball in his hands to be optimized.
Kolek’s lack of NBA length and athleticism is going to show most clearly on the defensive end, where I expect him to be a liability. He’s a one-position defender, but he’s not quick enough at the point of attack to be an asset on the ball. In late game scenarios, he’s the type of defender who is going to be called into the action and overpowered by bigger wings.
In the right scenario, Kolek could step in and be a traditional floor general who leads the charge for an effective bench unit. He’s definitely the type of competitor who has figured out how to overcome his relative lack of athleticism to this point in his career, and it’s possible that will continue in the NBA. However, his upside is limited by his advanced age and physical tools, and I have doubts about his ability to complement an on-ball star, which limits his utility.

12. Tristen Newton / UConn
Height/Wingspan: 6’4” / 6’6”
Rookie Season Age: 23
Player Type: Pick and Roll Playmaker
Game Reminds Me Of: Elfrid Payton
Anybody who has watched college basketball at all over the past two years will be familiar with Newton, who was one of the ringleaders for back-to-back National Championship teams at UConn. His list of accolades from this past season are noteworthy, as he was a consensus 1st-team All-American, Wooden Award semifinalist, and the Most Outstanding Player of the 2024 NCAA tournament.
Newton has a jack-of-all-trades type of game, headlined by his passing (6.7 assists per 36 minutes) and free-throw generation (5.6 attempts per 36 minutes). He’s very comfortable on the ball, using his body to operate out of pick and roll, but he can play from the wings as well. He creates adequate separation with a tight handle, but his best work is probably done as a grab-and-go guy in transition, where he can attack a defense before it gets set.
I have no idea what to think about Newton’s shooting, which is probably the skill that’s going to define whether he sticks as an NBA player. On one hand, he’s never made very many threes (32.1% as a senior, 32.7% over the course of his 5-year college career). On the other hand, he had the green light to fire away, both off the dribble and from well beyond the arc. He’s not a hesitant shooter by any means, but that also doesn’t mean he’s a particularly good one.
The other concern for Newton is that while he looks like he should be an above-average defender due to his positional size and length, he’s not particularly impactful in terms of blocks (0.3 per game) or steals (0.9 per game). He’s a very good rebounder for a guard and he’s smart, but he coasted a bit at UConn, which he definitely won’t be able to do as a pro.

13. Jamal Shead / Houston
Height/Wingspan: 6’1” / 6’3”
Rookie Season Age: 22
Player Type: Point of Attack Defender
Game Reminds Me Of: Jevon Carter / Davion Mitchell
Similarly to Newton, Shead has been a prominent figure in college basketball in recent seasons, earning 1st-Team All-American status as a Senior in 2023-24. As well as being one of Houston’s best players, he also appeared to be an emotional leader that helped spearhead the program’s return to national prominence.
If Shead’s basketball career falters, he might have a future as an NFL cornerback or running back, because he is an absolute bowling ball on the basketball court. Shead combines exceptional strength with elite lateral movement (2.87 second shuttle run) in order to be a true terror at the point of attack, capable of making life miserable for an opposing ball handler. Beyond his physical gifts, he also has the right mindset for elite defense, as he is ready and willing to compete as soon as the ball is tipped. I’m not sure how much he’ll be able to impact the game as a help defender, but he is an impact on-ball defender at both guard spots without question.
The other part of the game Shead does very well is pass: He averaged 7.3 assists per 36 minutes in comparison to just 2.3 turnovers this past season, and it’s not like Houston had a ton of floor spacing to provide him with simple reads. He makes good decisions in transition, and he finds cutters and rollers with consistency.
I have my doubts about Shead as a scorer. He’s a great athlete but he’s undersized and he struggles with length at the basket, as he tends to make head-long drives without a great plan of how to manipulate the timing and balance of the rim protector. As such, he’s pretty reliant on pull-up jump shooting, and he simply hasn’t been efficient in that area, posting brutal 49.5% true shooting as a senior. I think Shead can shoot better than his college career mark of 29.6% from beyond the arc with more catch-and-shoot opportunities, but he’ll have to prove that at the next level. Without improvement as a jump shooter, his limitations as an offensive player may be too great for him to overcome.

14. Cam Spencer / UConn
Height/Wingspan: 6’4” / 6’5”
Rookie Season Age: 24
Player Type: Crafty Scorer / Movement Shooter
Game Reminds Me Of: Ty Jerome
As a fifth-year senior this past season at UConn, Spencer was one of the best offensive players on the best team in the country.
If Spencer makes it in the NBA, it’ll be because of his ability to shoot the ball: He connected on 44% of his 6.1 3PA per 36 minutes in his time as a Huskie. Spencer is a weapon as a movement shooter, but he’s not reliant on other people to set him up for his shot. He’s got an above-average handle, and he understands how to create separation with body positioning. He’s also an excellent cutter, which is helped by how aggressively teams try and cut off his catch-and-shoot attempts. Spencer is more of a secondary handler, but he’s got some pick and roll craft as a passer, and he makes good decisions attacking closeouts.
Although he has all the crafty tricks of footwork and timing manipulation on his side, he’s so limited as a vertical athlete (30.5-inch max vertical leap) that it’s hard to imagine him having much success as a scorer at the rim. Defense is also a major concern of mine, as he can be overpowered with strength and blown-by with quickness. Between athletic limitations and his advanced age (he’ll turn 25 before the end of the 24-25 season), the ceiling is low, but Spencer might be able to stick with shooting and IQ.
