2024 NBA Mock Draft: Projections at Start of NCAA Tournament
In this story:
The 2023-24 NBA campaign quickly coming to an end, as the playoffs are approaching. Although the 2024 NBA Draft is more than three months away, teams have already spent significant time scouting this upcoming class.
There's a deep class of incoming prospects set to make the jump to the NBA this summer, even if there isn't a generational talent featured at the top. Even without a clear top selection at this point in the 2024 NBA Draft, that doesn't mean franchise-altering talent can't be found.
Leveraging Tankathon to generate our draft order, we take a look at fit and projections for June's event in this iteration of Draft Digest's 2024 NBA Mock Draft.
