Leif Thulin and James Barlowe discuss in a class described as being devoid of stars, who are the All-Stars to be from the 2024 class. Is Rob Dillingham a star hiding in plain sight? Why is Sarr number 1 but not as likely to be an all star? Is All-Star Potential and most likely to be an All-Star a different question?

Leif Thulin and Richard Stayman discuss who has the highest ceiling in this draft class and which players have the most likelihood to become All-stars. In what is considered a bad draft class, there are still stars to be had so Leif and Richard name players selected at the top of the draft who have the most potential to be all stars as well as which players are more likely than others even if there is less top end potential. Also, which long shots to be All-Stars do the duo like?
