Final 2024 NBA Mock Draft roundup ahead of tonight's draft

The 2024 NBA Draft is nearly upon us. Later tonight and continuing on Thursday afternoon, a quartet of former Kentucky players will hope to hear their names called and begin their professional basketball careers.

Just how high will Reed Sheppard go? Is Rob Dillingham‘s stock actually slipping? Can Antonio Reeves sneak his way into the first round? Where exactly will Justin Edwards land? All of those questions will be answered very soon.

The first round of the draft is being held tonight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY where Sheppard and Dillingham will be in the Green Room waiting for the call from Commissioner Adam Silver. Will John Calipari or even Mark Pope make an appearance? The second round will begin on Thursday at 4:00 p.m. EST at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in New York.

After diving into 11 mock drafts from major publications that have been updated within the last 24 hours (with five including both the first and second rounds), below are the average projected landing spots for all four Wildcats. You can peruse through all 11 mocks individually by scrolling down even further. As a reminder, there are only 58 picks in this year’s draft.
