At this point in the draft cycle, teams have worked out and interviewed most of the prospects they’ve wanted to. As such, the tweaks made to each team’s board should be fairly minimal from here on out. 

With the 2024 NBA Draft just a few days away, the anticipation continues to climb. This class has been labeled as weaker than most in recent history due to the lack of superstar talent at the top. Even then, it’s a deep class with plenty of talent throughout. 

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