We spend a lot of time following all of the top NBA Draft analysts for months as they post and tweet about intel and update their big boards and mock drafts leading up to draft day. But once that day comes and goes, it’s easy to shift focus to how the rookies will fit on their new rosters, summer league, and the next draft cycle, so, as always, I have compiled all of the final mock drafts so we can compare them to the actual 2024 draft order. See my full mock draft comparison for June featuring 22 total mock drafts (all link references below).
Here is the actual 2024 NBA Draft pick order versus the final mock drafts from Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman, ESPN’s Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony, SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell, The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, and The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie and John Hollinger, the No Ceilings crew, Tankathon, and our own Hoops Distillery picks:
| ACTUAL DRAFT | Tankathon (6/26) | No Ceilings (6/26) | SB Nation (6/26) | B/R (6/26) | The Ringer (6/26) | ESPN (6/26) | The Athletic (6/25) | Hoop Distillery (6/23) |
