2024 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: Final Projections

2024 NBA Mock Draft 2.0

The 2024 NBA Draft is beginning tonight, June 26, and here’s my updated mock draft based on the latest available information. My final mock last season ranked fairly high in terms of accuracy, and I’m hoping for more of the same this time around.

Assuming I understand the rules correctly, my final 2023 mock draft would have placed 7th on this list with 97 points 🤙🏻 https://t.co/HBjfr73uil
