24 Under 24 In ‘24! (Part 2): What NBA players are we betting on long-term to become all-stars?

In this edition of Game Theory, Sam Vecenie & Bryce Simon continue their break down the top 24 players in the NBA that are 24 years old or younger. The rules: You have to be 24 years old as of December 31, 2024 to be eligible. The criteria: What player would you bet on long-term to have the best overall career? That means current career to this point counts, but we're also projecting out into the future, too. And given that these players are all still quite young, the future matters more.
