As the college basketball season officially comes to a close, all eyes are on the NBA with the playoffs beginning next week and the 2024 NBA Draft taking place in just over two months.
Between now and the June event, prospects will have the opportunity to meet teams from around the league and showcase their talent in practices. Additionally, top prospects will be able to participate in the combine, which will be another way to increase draft stock. Even in a class lacking a clear top pick, there is real depth. As such, even second-round picks should have value this summer.
