Fifty-eight total picks. Four French players taken in the first round. The first two-day event in NBA history. And with that and more, the 2024 NBA draft is officially over.
Round 1 at Barclays Center saw the first four picks directly align with ESPN's final mock draft, including the Atlanta Hawks' selection of Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 pick. Then, the Detroit Pistons pulled off the first surprise by drafting ESPN's No. 13th-ranked prospect Ron Holland at No. 5.
Thursday's second round saw a flurry of draft trades and team transactions, along with college stars Kyle Filipowski, Tyler Kolek and Johnny Furphy going early off the board. Round 2 also featured the selection of Bronny James to the Los Angeles Lakers with the No. 55 pick.
