The 2024 NBA Draft is rapidly nearing, as teams around the league evaluate how they want to approach the upcoming season. It takes projecting offseason moves beyond the draft, as teams often draft based on fit and need, but without a firm idea of who could be on their roster in the upcoming season. 

Trades occur and free agents are signed, which could drastically change what those needs are today. This makes building boards even more difficult, but it’s something all 30 teams are finalizing now. These boards will fluctuate until the moment selections need to be made, but ranges are starting to become more clear. 

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