2024 NBA Mock Draft 9.0: A new name in the mix at No. 1, plus the latest projections for every pick

Related Topics: Dalton Knecht, Jabari Smith Jr.

This is one of the most unpredictable drafts in recent memory with plenty of movement continuing to take place with less than two weeks to go before the NBA Draft on June 26-27 in New York. French wing Zaccharie Risacher and French center Alex Sarr are still projected at the top as options for Atlanta, but UConn center Donovan Clingan has entered the mix, with the Hawks strongly considering the 7-foot-2 center at No. 1. This could end up being similar to the 2022 NBA Draft where Jabari Smith Jr. was projected as the No. 1 pick leading up the draft and the Orlando Magic selected Paolo Banchero on draft night.
