2024 NBA Mock Draft: Projections Roughly Six Months Out
The 2023-24 NBA campaign is officially underway, although it's extremely early in the season. With that in mind, it's never too early to start looking ahead. There's a deep class of incoming prospects set to make the jump to the NBA next 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 next summer's event in this iteration of Draft Digest's 2024 NBA Mock Draft.
