2024 NBA Draft tracker: Live updates, grades, news, trades, picks by team, draft order, prospects in Round 1 (2024)

11. Chicago Bulls: Matas Buzelis, F, G League Ignite

Buzelis was born in Chicago, so this is a homecoming of sorts for the big-bodied wing. The former McDonald's All-American played at Sunrise Christian before entering the G League Ignite program, where he competed with other top prospects and against professional players. If his shot continues to develop, his floor should be as the type of 3-and-D wing craved around the league. He was No. 9 in the CBS Sports Prospect Rankings and drew a comparison to Andrew Wiggins.

10. Utah Jazz: Cody Williams, G, Colorado

The Jazz are going with a high-upside, one-and-done perimeter player. Cody Williams wasn't necessarily a superstar in his lone season with Colorado, but he productively filled a role for a veteran-laden NCAA Tournament team. He's the younger brother of OKC star Jalen Williams and a former consensus five-star prospect with the physical tools to blossom into a big, two-way guard/wing.

9. Memphis Grizzlies: Zach Edey, C, Purdue

The two-time reigning National Player of the Year is headed to Memphis. The Grizzlies need a center to complete their roster and will be banking on Zach Edey to round out their roster. While there are concerns about Edey's mobility and versatility as a 7-foot-4 non-shooter, he dominated college basketball in a way rarely seen during the 21st century. This is a big swing for Memphis as Edey was rarely mocked in the top 10.

8. Minnesota Timberwolves (via San Antonio): Rob Dillingham, G, Kentucky

After nabbing Stephon Castle at No. 4, the Spurs are widely reported to be dealing No. 8 pick Rob Dillingham to Minnesota. Dillingham came off the bench at Kentucky — the same as No. 3 pick Reed Sheppard — but filled it up for the Wildcats as a 3-point shooter and relentless attacker. His stock dropped a bit due to his size following the NCAA Tournament. But the Timberwolves were clearly undeterred by concerns over his size and traded to snag the one-and-done college guard.

7. Portland Trail Blazers: Donovan Clingan, C, UConn

A prevailing thought entering the draft was that Donovan Clingan would likely be off the board before the Trail Blazers could select him. However, he fell to No. 7, allowing Portland to nab the 7-foot-2 shot-swatting prospect. Clingan starred in two seasons at UConn, playing a pivotal role in the Huskies' consecutive titles. Portland has Deandre Ayton and Robert Williams on its books. Now, they also have one of the top bigs in the 2024 draft class.

6. Charlotte Hornets: Tidjane Salaun, F, France

Another surprise at No. 6. The Hornets are selecting Salaun out of France with the No. 6 pick. Salaun ranked No. 15 on CBS Sports' NBA Draft Prospect big board. The Hornets were reportedly working on a trade with the Grizzlies, but instead, they elected to stand pat at No. 6 to draft one of the highest upside swings in the class.

5. Detroit Pistons: Ron Holland, F, G League Ignite

Detroit made one of the first surprises of the night by drafting Holland, the No. 10 ranked player in CBS Sports' NBA Draft Prospect big board. Holland is one of the best defenders in the class and should be a perfect fit with the Pistons. Holland was projected to go in the mid-lottery in some of the latest mock drafts.

4. San Antonio Spurs: Stephon Castle, G, UConn

The biggest need for the Spurs heading into the draft was finding a point guard of the future. Castle could fit that build, as he expressed a strong desire to play the position leading up to the draft despite playing as more of a wing with the Huskies. Castle has one of the highest ceilings in this class, and if he develops his 3-point shot, it would be a home run pick for the Spurs long-term.

3. Houston Rockets: Reed Sheppard, G, Kentucky

The first college player is off the board. The Rockets selected Kentucky star Reed Sheppard — the CBS Sports Freshmen of the Year — with the No. 3 overall pick. Sheppard is arguably the best 3-point shooter in this class and should fit in perfectly with Houston as the point guard of the future. ESPN reported before the draft started that Sheppard was in contention to become the No. 1 overall pick. Instead, he lands in Houston.

2. Washington Wizards: Alex Sarr, F, France

With Risacher off the board to Atlanta, the Wizards wasted no time selecting the No. 1 overall player on CBS Sports' NBA Draft Prospect big board. Sarr has a modernized skill set to fit in the NBA as a hybrid center. Sarr is also one of the best two-way players in this class and has elite defensive upside. With the Wizards reportedly trading away Deni Avdija, Sarr fills the need for a wing. The Wizards have two more selections in the first round and one of them will likely be used to draft a guard.

1. Atlanta Hawks: Zaccharie Risacher, F, France

The pick is in. The Hawks selected French forward Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Risacher ranked No. 2 on CBS Sports NBA Draft Prospect big board behind fellow French forward Alex Sarr. He earned the 2023-24 French League Best Young Player Award and 2023-24 EuroCup Rising Star Award. He played one season on French club ASVEL with 2023 No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama. Risacher is a modern-day NBA wing and has the potential to be one of the best 3-point shooters from this class.

Consensus 2024 NBA Mock Draft

We're just minutes away from the first selection of the 2024 NBA Draft. Recently, we decided to look at 11 mock drafts from analysts at CBS Sports, ESPN, The Athletic, Bleacher Report and Yahoo to create our own mock draft listing each player who was mocked the most times at each specific spot in the first round. There is a mutual consensus among draft analysts on who will be taken with the first few picks, but after that, it's a free-for-all.

Upperclassmen to watch

One-and-done players have accounted for a majority of theNBA Draftlottery selections over the past decade, but there are still numerous examples of older players coming into the league and making an immediate impact. This year's draft class is teeming with questions from top to bottom, andNBAdecision-makers could lean on experience to find the next hidden gem. Let's have a look at the experienced players we see making an impact in the 2024 NBA Draft class.

Top players at each position

The 2024 NBA Draft is just minutes away, and while there may still more questions than answers, CBS Sports has you covered from all angles ahead of the big night. Our experts each submitted their prospect rankings to develop the top players of the consensusTop 75 Big Board. From that consensus, here are the top five prospects at each position heading into the 2024 NBA Draft.

Consensus NBA Draft big board

The CBS Sports and 247Sports college basketball experts used their expertise for the final Big Board of the 2024 cycle as a guide to next week's spectacle in Brooklyn. This marks the third year CBS Sports and 247Sports have done a consensus rankings where we take each of our analyst's own Big Boards and combine them to form our aggregate rankings. The goal in so doing is to give a complete picture of how our team views the class and to minimize outliers.

Stars could be hiding in "bad" draft

Brewing surprisesand week-of excitement have happily clouded the fact that the 2024NBA Draft, which begins Wednesday, is the worst crop of incoming talent the league has seen since at least 2013. We've seen it coming for years now: There is no clear No. 1 or glaring star power atop the draft, and now, even the overall depth of the field has diminished after moreprospects than ever elected to return to college, thanks in large part to a booming NIL market.

If history is any indication, though, even bad drafts offer hidden value. Sleepers will be found.

We have a trade!

The Portland Trail Blazers have the No. 14 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the second most favorable of their 2029 first-round picks, two second-round picks and Malcolm Brogdon for Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija,ESPN reports.The Wizards will have three first-round picks tonight (No. 2, No. 14 and No. 26).

A March Madness hero's push for an NBA career

Few players in recent memory have done more with unexpected opportunities afforded to them like DJ Burns has over the past three-plus months. The NC State star became one of the biggest deals in college sports after the Wolfpack won nine straight elimination games in March and madearguably the most unexpected Final Four run in the history of college basketball. While he's a longshot to be selected in the draft, he's pushing hard to make a career in the NBA.

Alex Sarr's journey to potential No. 1 overall pick

It's only fitting that Alex Sarr was first approached by a basketball coach as a young child walking the aisles of a supermarket. After all, his diverse on-court talents read like a shopping list for the ideal modern NBA player: A few ounces ofRudy Gobert, a quart ofGiannis Antetokounmpo... the tiniest dash ofKevin Durant. Yep, there's a reason Sarr is firmly in the mix to be selected first overall in Wednesday's 2024NBA Draft.

Kyle Boone's two-round mock

Months and months of speculation, analyzing (and overanalyzing) have all led to this. The 2024 NBA Draft will begin Wednesday night, where all the questions we have -- about who goes No. 1, about where Bronny James will land, about how far Donovan Clingan slips -- willfinallybe answered. With the draft officially on our doorstep, I've got one final mock to end all mocks in the space below. It's the only on the website that goes two rounds deep replete with all 58 picks, and will be updated continuously over the next day if trades roll in and as we gather more intel on potential landing spots.

Potential sibling history

Colorado forward Cody Williams could make history on Wednesday during the 2024 NBA Draft if he'sselected in the first 30 picks. Williams could join his brother, Jalen Williams -- the No. 12 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft -- as the next set of siblings who were both drafted in the first round. The younger Williams ranks No. 11 on CBS Sports NBA Draft Prospect Rankings. Here's a closer look at notable siblings drafted in the first round of the NBA Draft over the years.

Odds for Bronny James

Bronny James is mere days away from joining his father,LeBron James, as anNBAplayer, but despite years of rumors and quotes suggesting that the two would play together on the same team, a father-son duo is by no means a certainty. Caesars Sportsbook has set an over/under line for James' draft position at 46.5. TheLos Angeles Lakers, who currently employ the elder James, are not expected to consider Bronny at No. 17 overall, but do not pick again until No. 55. Here's a look at Monday's odds on where Bronny will end up.
