Justin Edwards is No. 1 in CBS Sports' 2024 NBA Draft Big Board

Does John Calipari have his next No. 1 draft pick? CBS Sports thinks so, with freshman wing Justin Edwards sitting atop the outlet’s new 2024 NBA Draft Big Board.

The 6-7 wing out of Philadelphia closed as the No. 2 overall prospect and No. 1 small forward in the final 2023 On3 Industry Rankings. And after a strong showing with the Wildcats in Toronto at the GLOBL JAM averaging 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest, the experts believe he’s deserving of the top spot in next June’s draft — for now, at least.
