With the full selection order being finalized at the lottery on Sunday, every team with a pick in the 2024 NBA Draft now knows exactly when they'll be on the clock. As such, we now have much more clarity on where some of the upcoming prospects could end up. Fit is important in the draft, so a finalized order now helps project where players could land.

The NBA Draft Combine has been taking place this week, with many more workouts and interviews with individual teams for prospects over the next month and a half. The players in this class still have plenty of time to increase their stock, especially in such an uncertain draft.

Let’s take a look at fit and projections for this upcoming event in this iteration of Draft Digest's 2024 NBA Mock Draft.
