Fifty-eight picks in total. Four French players chosen in the first round. The first two-day event in NBA history. And with that and more, the 2024 NBA draft is officially over.
In the first round at Barclays Center, the first four picks directly matched ESPN's final mock draft, including the Atlanta Hawks selecting Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 pick. Then, the Detroit Pistons pulled off the first surprise by selecting ESPN's No. 13 prospect, Ron Holland, at No. 5.
Thursday's second round saw a flurry of trades and transactions between teams, along with college stars Kyle Filipowski, Tyler Kolek and Johnny Furphy leaving the draft early. The second round also included the selection of Bronny James to the Los Angeles Lakers with the 55th pick.
