The first round of the 2024 NBA draft began with Zaccharie Risacher, the first of four French players selected in the first round, being selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the first pick. And it ended with the 2024 NBA champion Boston Celtics selecting Creighton's Baylor Scheierman with the 30th pick.
Which fan bases should be happy with what their favorite team did on Day 1, like the Minnesota Timberwolves trading up to draft Rob Dillingham? Who should wonder about players who fell in the draft, like Dalton Knecht?
It's time to analyze what happened Wednesday night at the Barclays Center in New York. ESPN's Jonathan Givony, Jeremy Woo and Kevin Pelton share their winners, surprises and biggest questions after 30 picks went off the board in Round 1.
We'll be back for round two on Thursday at 4 pm ET on ESPN.
