Final NBA Mock Draft: Who Lands Where?
The 2024 NBA draft is just three days away, and the Phoenix Suns own the 22nd pick going into Wednesday night.
What will the Suns do? Will they trade up? Trade down? Trade the pick for an established player?
One more mock draft before festivities begin on Wednesday:
The Hawks are reportedly deciding between Risacher and Donovan Clingan.
They ultimately choose to select the prospect who has a perceived higher ceiling.
Sarr’s floor feels as if it is number 2. The Wizards get a player who can be a franchise cornerstone.
Sheppard is supposedly in strong position to be selected in the top four – the Rockets select him in an attempt to speed up the retooling process.
Castle feels like a quality fit in Gregg Popovich’s system. This could be a good pairing.
The Pistons’ reported interest in gauging the trade market of Jalen Duren makes Clingan a more palpable option here.
Buzelis joins Brandon Miller, LaMelo Ball, and Mark Williams as blue-chip pieces in Charlotte.
Williams has one of the widest ranges in this draft, but goes even earlier than expected.
Knecht once again feels like a seamless fit in the Spurs’ system around Victor Wembanyama.
Holland goes to an optimal situation with his status in NBA circles now in question.
Dillingham possibly slides more than he should, but ends up somewhere that he can truly develop.
Carter would figure to be in the Bulls’ long-term plans, along with Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White.
OKC general manager Sam Presti continues to operate with the “best player available” mindset – and gets a stud to run the second-unit offense.
Ware would bring Sacramento something new to the table as an understudy to Domantas Sabonis.
Portland acquires another prospect with an untapped ceiling.
The “Heat Culture” adds another quality shooter and versatile defender in pursuit of making it back to the finals.
Shannon is cleared of all legal charges – and gets placed in a strong situation off the bench in Philadelphia.
The Lakers add another athletic wing that brings spacing to the floor.
Orlando adds a quality shooter to a roster that is sorely lacking it.
Toronto takes a shot at a raw prospect in the midst of a rebuild.
Cleveland ignores Topic’s status for the upcoming season, prioritizing the long-term.
Carrington could be a huge steal here and very well could become heir apparent to C.J. McCollum.
The Suns’ interest in Missi is now widely known. Phoenix takes a chance on the center as it is a huge need and Missi could very well be the best player available here.
Milwaukee and Phoenix are the two franchises that have been linked to Kolek the most – he stays in the city where he played in college.
Edey slides more than expected, but winds up in a quality situation.
Furphy should fit right in with the Knicks.
Filipowski’s limited athleticism is hard to ignore at this point of the first round.
Dunn would bolster the already strong Wolves defense, but his jump shot is certainly a concern.
Holmes reportedly has a draft promise from Denver, and he could be the steal of this draft.
Toronto takes another prospect that may need time to develop.
The recent NBA champs utilize this pick to acquire another lethal 3-point shooter.
