The NBA Draft for 2024 is in way, and as usual, there are plenty of unexpected picks. Superstar agent Rich Paul shared some ideas for this year’s draft class on social media, and four-time champion and Golden State Warriors defensive player Draymond Green backed them.
LeBron James, Draymond Green, and several other prominent players’ longtime agent Rich Paul offered the players in the 2024 draft words of encouragement and hope.
“Draft Day!! There is no negative on draft day for the class. Theres no such thing as a slip, the lottery means nothing. Opportunity is the Focus! There will be 58 names called and 58 names forgotten. What will you do with your opportunity? #NBADraft #BeKlutch.”

When the top pick in any NBA draft is selected, high expectations are always present. Every expert and fan has their eyes fixed on the top 10. However, this does not negate the significance of the other 50 players. Draymond Green is the ideal individual to discuss career paths with regarding players from all throughout the draft class.
When he stated that a guy whose name isn’t even called in the draft may wind up making $300 million in the league, Draymond Green was correct.
Green is a perfect example of the point he was making, even though it wasn’t entirely unscripted.
