    The NBA Draft is just a few hours away which means 30 young men are about to hear their names called by the commissioner as they embark on the next step of their hoop dreams.

    While the 2024 class isn't considered to be as loaded as classes in years past, there are still athletes who have garnered a ton of notoriety. There is obviously Bronny James who is the son of LeBron James who comes to mind, but also players like two-time National Player of the Year Zach Edey, two-time champ Donovan Clingan, and former five-star and ACC All-Rookie Team member Jared McCain.

    The Duke guard (McCain) didn't have to wait long to see his fame, as he likely went into college as one of the most popular athletes in the country thanks to his viral dances and millions of followers. Per On3's NIL Valuations, McCain ranked No. 3 in all of college basketball and No. 16 in all of college sports in the NIL rankings, with notable partnerships with brands like American Eagles, Sally Hansen, and Skims.

    While he is known for his moves off the court, he is also viewed as one of the more promising players on it thanks to his ability to shoot. One of the many reasons he likely earned a draft invite, and could potentially hear his name called in the lottery. As one could imagine, for someone who is so in tune with social media and fashion as McCain is, his draft suit may already have a case for the best in the class.

    In his lone year at Duke, McCain averaged 14.3 points per game with five rounds, while also shooting 41.4% from deep. In CBS Sports ' latest mock draft, McCain was projected to be drafted with the No. 17 pick by the Los Angeles Lakers.
