Key Points

  • The 2023 NBA Draft is in the books and ESPN has already released their 2024 NBA Mock Draft
  • ESPN has the Pistons selecting at No. 2 and taking Matas Buzelis
  • The 2024 draft is a long way away, and there are sure to to be quite a few changes along the way

Bottom Line: Only Time Will Tell

As with the NFL, it is pretty silly to put any stock into a way-too-early NBA Mock Draft, but it is interesting to see that ESPN has the Pistons selecting at No. 2. The 2024 NBA Draft is still a very long way away, and you can bet that some prospects will emerge during the upcoming season, and some of the players currently mocked in the Top 10 will slide a bit. Only time will tell where the Pistons will select in 2024, and who they will target with that pick, but it is always fun to predict what will happen!
