The 2024 NBA Draft is quickly approaching, as the event itself is less than three weeks away. Teams are bringing in prospects on a daily basis to get a look at potential draftees, as boards change consistently.

Without a clear No. 1 overall pick, and even more uncertainty in the picks to follow, anything could happen on June 26. This is such a unique draft that could be chaotic throughout, as it lacks much clarity.

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