The latest NBA mock draft from CBS has Alex Sarr going No. 1 overall to the Pistons

The 2024 NBA Draft has a bit of a mystery at the top of it as the lottery approaches: Who is the No. 1 pick?

Is it France’s Alex Sarr? His countryman Zaccharie Risacher? Serbia’s Nikola Topic?

In the latest 2024 mock draft from our Bryan Kalbrosky, he’s got Sarr to the Detroit Pistons, Topic to the Washington Wizards and Risacher to the San Antonio Spurs. Funny enough, that mirrors how the latest CBS Sports mock from Adam Finkelstein played out — it’s Sarr first overall to the Pistons, which might make sense for the rebuilding franchise even if they have a bunch of centers.

Here’s his take:

This is a class without an obvious No. 1 but Sarr is a mobile 7-footer with an elastic build and clear defensive versatility and upside. The biggest questions are with regard to his offense and the extent to which it develops will ultimately dictate his upside. I don’t love the fit, alongside a bad shooting Detroit team already littered with young bigs, but if the Pistons go for best available, Sarr is the early favorite.

There you have it! Make sure to check out our latest 2024 NBA mock draft from Bryan Kalbrosky.
