Final 2024 NBA Mock Draft - 5.0


For months, our team at BTL Hoops has been diligently working to provide the most comprehensive NBA draft coverage possible. Through countless hours of film study, data analysis, and input from our network of sources, we have meticulously evaluated every prospect in this year's class. Today, we are proud to present our final NBA Mock Draft projection before the real thing.


The process of putting together this mock has been a true team effort, and I'm incredibly thankful for the hard work of all our staff members. Our Basketball Operations department has pored over every statistic and analytic. The Video team has studied game footage until their eyes were blurry. Our Scouting staff has crisscrossed the country attending games and workouts and have crafted over 500 in-depth scouting reports to capture each prospect's strengths and weaknesses. And our talented Writers have crafted numerous expectational articles on all things basketball.


None of this would have been possible without our incredible team's dedication and passion for the game of basketball. From our Analytics gurus to our Social Media mavericks, everyone played a vital role. I'm extremely appreciative of all the long nights, weekend commitments, and tremendous collaborative spirit that went into this final product we can be truly proud of.


With over 500 game reports, 150 intel reports, 300+ video breakdowns, and countless staff meetings, our NBA mock draft represents the culmination of an immense amount of labor. We hope basketball fans everywhere will appreciate the level of insight and find our evaluation valuable as we look ahead to one of the most exciting two nights of the year for diehard hoop heads.


Note: We are aware that this Draft will only consist of 58 picks due to infractions by a couple of teams, which we believe it is unfair for two prospects to lose out on their dream of being drafted, so they will be listed on our Mock throughout the process.


Until next time...
