Where Kentucky players stand in latest mocks following NBA Draft Lottery

The 2024 NBA Draft order has been set. On Sunday in Chicago, the ping pong balls gifted the Atlanta Hawks with the franchise’s first-ever lottery win. With just a three percent chance to snag the No. 1 overall pick, the Hawks had the fifth-lowest odds ever by a team that ended up landing the top selection.

With the NBA Combine — also in Chicago — set for this coming week, we’re inching closer and closer to June’s NBA Draft. And now that the top 14 picks are all locked in, we have a better idea of where Kentucky’s draft hopefuls could land.

By all accounts, Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham appear to have solidified themselves as Top 10 picks. Justin Edwards continues to knock on the door of being a potential first-round pick while Antonio Reeves will have to shine in the Combine this week if he wants to hear his name called by Commissioner Adam Silver. BYU’s Jaxson Robinson, viewed as a Kentucky lean if he pulls out of the draft, is also in the mix.

A handful of outlets have already unveiled their updated NBA Mock Drafts now that the Lottery has wrapped up. Take a look below and see where On3, ESPN, The Ringer, The Athletic, SBNation, Yahoo Sports, USA Today, and CBS Sports have the former Wildcats landing. The 2024 NBA Draft will be held from June 26-27 in Brooklyn, NY.
