On May 14, Beijing time, the rookies of the class of 2024 completed the physical test, except for international players such as Topic, Risache and Salon, who failed to participate, the rest of the rookies who signed up for the class of 2024 all completed the physical test. Among them, Klingen stood out in terms of height, weight, arm span, and standing height, while Shepard impressed 30 teams in the 3/4 half-court sprint and running height. Castle was the top performer in catch-and-shoot three-pointers. Subsequently, ESPN updated its prediction rankings for the 2024 draft.
In the end, Risache, Sarr and Shepard finished in the top three, selected by the Hawks, Wizards and Rockets, respectively. With Topic suffering a knee injury during the game, the draft pick is expected to drop significantly. It is worth mentioning that Topeic suffered a knee injury in January, and after four months of recuperation, he suffered another knee injury without confrontation. This has left 30 teams with the need to reassess Topic's injury concerns. ESPN predicts that Topeic will fall out of the top 5 picks, or even the top 10. The Spurs, who have the No. 4 and No. 8 picks this summer, could try to select Topic with the No. 8 pick.
In addition, Klingen's mediocre performance in the 3/4 half-court sprint and run-up tests could affect his draft prospects. As the favorite of this year's rookie champion, Saar is only 2.12 meters tall and weighs 109 kilograms barefoot. The sprint in the 3/4 half was also relatively unsatisfactory, and he shot 13 of 25 three-pointers from the catch, which was also decent. However, compared to the others, Sarr should be selected in the top 2 picks. Right now, the Wizards are very interested in acquiring Sarr in this draft.
