The 2023 NBA Draft was strong at the top, with Victor Wembanyama, Brandon Miller, Scoot Henderson, and the Thompson twins (Amen and Ausar) widely considered franchise-altering talents.

The 2024 NBA Draft looks a little different. Well, a lot different.

Not only is there no consensus No. 1 pick, but the 2024 crop is also believed to be one of the weaker draft classes in recent memory and without a Tier 1 prospect.

Tier 1 prospects are considered potential superstars, while Tier 2 prospects are potential All-Stars.

One caveat, though: It's early, and any number of prospects have the potential to move into the top slot next June.

Here are the five players that NBA scouts are talking about as potential No. 1 picks in my conversations.

I'll have my full rankings when Big Board 1.0 debuts in the Fall.
