The NBA Draft Combine was the last significant event on the draft calendar before individual and group workouts for the prospects hoping to hear their names called next month. At this point, how prospects perform will become much less public as teams attempt to finalize their boards and get firsthand looks at the players they're interested in.

In a draft class with so much uncertainty, these draft boards for every team will fluctuate and change even through the day of the 2024 NBA Draft. Even then, there continue to be more data points that help project how the draft could unfold. With just over a month until teams have to make their decisions, quite a bit will change.

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