2024 NBA Mock Draft 1.0: Post-Lottery Projections
2024 NBA Mock Draft 1.0
The 2024 NBA Draft is set for Wednesday, June 26, and it’s time to start taking a look at how things might shake out. It’s well past time, actually. Typically I try to get my first mock draft of the cycle out in April, but life things have gotten in the way this year. Better late than never, I suppose. My final mock last season ranked fairly high in terms of accuracy, and I’m hoping for more of the same this time around.
For the sake of simplicity, potential draft day trades are not included. Selections are based on a combination of my own scouting, general prospect stock, and team needs. The draft order reflects the results of the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery on Sunday, May 12.
