The NBA teams are preparing to return and compete for the second half on the 2024 NBA season, resuming next Thursday. The G League Ignite represented quite well the G-League in the Rising Stars event during the last All-Star weekend, and those players hope to be a part of some of those NBA teams next year, if they pick them on the 2024 NBA Draft.

Without going any further, Team Detlef (G League) defeated Team Pau, which had in its roster the Spurs' rookie gem Victor Wembanyama and Brandon Miller, thanks to a winning shot by Ignite player Matas Buzelis. That's why ESPN has released a new updated 'mock draft' after the All-Star break with the main names: Zaccharie Risacher, Alex Sarr, Rob Dillingham, Cody Williams...

We bring you the 14 players who could be picked first, in descending order, and the teams that would pick them according to results based on current percentages if everything stayed the same until the end of the season.
