The latest 2024 NBA mock draft from The Ringer has 2 UConn players in the top-6

UConn is currently on the march to potential second straight men’s NCAA championship if the Huskies can win the next two matchups.

So it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see players from that team moving up NBA Draft boards. In our latest mock draft from Bryan Kalbrosky, he’s got guard Stephon Castle at No. 7 to the Spurs and Donovan Clingan — who’s moved up a lot in mocks — going No. 24 to the Wizards.

In the latest mock draft from The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, he’s got Castle going No. 2 overall to the Jazz and Clingan at No. 6 to the Spurs. Here’s his take on Castle:

The Jazz have an interesting mix of young players, but that hasn’t yet translated into wins because the team is still so young. And now they’re sliding into the end of the season with a 10-game losing streak. If they trade up or get boosted here on lottery night, then Castle could be an ideal fit with Keyonte George in the backcourt. George provides dynamic playmaking ability, while Castle is a downhill attacker who brings lockdown defense. If Castle develops his jumper, then the two could end up one of the best backcourts in the NBA.
