NBA Draft 2024 ceiling and floor scenarios: The best or worst case projections for five top prospects

When Michael Jordan in 2017 famously — er, rather, infamously — said the “ceiling is the roof” in reference to UNC’s football program, it was interpreted by myriad people to mean myriad things. Was it a metaphor? Nerves? Trolling? Did he accidentally impart the GOAT of riddles in front of Tar Heels fans for the world to see?

And the roof is the roof: the area above the ceiling that protects the structure. Maybe it’s semantics. MJ gets a pass on a technicality from yours truly, but there is a distinction.

So to steal straight from the GOAT himself — and to help keep things simple for the directionally challenged — today I’m going to rip his famous line to draw my own distinctions about the 2024 NBA Draft class and some of the top prospects. Instead of an examination of the best and worst case scenarios for some of this year’s talents, below I will instead look at the ceiling and the floor for a handful. That’s two separate areas — think high vs. low, best vs. worst — that even MJ can draw a distinction between. We’ll keep it simple.
