Best Of 2024: Best Prep-To-Pro Pipeline

Best Of 2024

2024 marks PressBox’s eighth annual Best Of edition celebrating the top people, performances and moments of the year.

Best Prep-To-Pro Pipeline

The only high schools to produce players selected in the 2024 NBA, NFL and WNBA Drafts were Baltimore’s Saint Frances Academy and … no other results found.

“It’s actually amazing,” Bub Carrington told PressBox in July after being selected by the Wizards with the 14th pick in June’s NBA Draft. Before that, Angel Reese was the seventh overall pick of the Chicago Sky in April’s WNBA Draft and Chris Braswell (57th overall, Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Blake Corum (83rd overall, LA Rams) were taken on the second night of April’s NFL Draft.

Not bad for a school with 200 students.
