NBA mock draft 2024: predictions from May

Aside from the lottery, the order of which is set to be determined in less than two weeks, most of the draft's positioning has been solidified. All 30 teams are focused on the 2024 NBA Draft, whether they are in the playoffs or officially in the offseason. The draft is less than two months away, but there will continue to be board fluctuations between now and the day of the event.

Until the 2024 NBA Draft, prospects will meet teams from across the league and have the opportunity to showcase their talent in training. Additionally, the top prospects can compete against each other in the combine, providing another way to increase platoon inventory. There is still no consensus on the top pick in this class, but there is real depth and opportunity to find value in the first and second rounds this summer.

We use Tankathon to generate our draft order and take a look at the fit and predictions for this upcoming event in this replay of Draft Digest's 2024 NBA Mock Draft.
