In an extremely early 2024 NBA mock draft, ESPN draft insider Jonathan Givony published a version of how he thinks the draft will go.
The 2024 draft class is headlined by Bronny James, LeBron James’ son. James is expected to go No. 10 in this mock draft to the Orlando Magic.
The top prospects in this class are guard Matas Buzelis, who will be 18 years old and will play for the G League Ignite, and Cody Williams, the younger brother of Jalen Williams.
Buzelis went No. 1 to the San Antonio Spurs and Williams went No. 2 to the Charlotte Hornets.
For this draft class, the Oklahoma City Thunder have four draft picks. That number of picks will likely be lower by the time the 2024 NBA draft actually takes place in 16 months.
The four picks consist of their first-round pick and second-round pick, the LA Clippers’ first-round pick and the Houston Rockets’ second-round pick.
With the Thunder likely a playoff team next season if healthy, they will likely not end up with a high draft pick. This mock draft reflects that: The Thunder’s highest draft pick is No. 13.
