It's officially draft week, as Wednesday and Thursday will feature the two rounds of the 2024 NBA Draft. In this new two-day format, teams will get more time to re-adjust their boards overnight after the first round and make better decisions in round two.

At this point in the draft cycle, there likely won't be much significant movement on each team's board between now and later this week as these prospects have been evaluated closely. Even then, it's still relatively unclear how the draft will unfold, especially in the lottery.

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