We are shockingly close to the 2024 NBA Draft, which means the experts are getting a better idea of where each prospect will play next season.

After spending many hours on the phone with plenty of folks connected around the league following the 2024 NBA Draft Combine and the NCAA early entry withdrawal deadline, we can present to you a better idea of where things currently stand.

During our conversations with those most plugged in about the draft, however, it became increasingly clear that we can expect the unexpected. Many folks are predicting a number of trades and plenty of surprises leading up to the nights of the draft following the 2024 NBA Finals.

While this is far from a complete product, we also had many conversations with players who are going through this process as part of our Prospect Park profile series. This provides a bit more of a human element to help paint the picture of who these individuals are as people.
