For the 2024 NBA Draft as I said before, is made up of people I personally made. Players have college stats, grade overall in certain aspects, certain comparisons, etc. The projected top 14 picks will have more information on them like real life as when you go down the draft board there are more question marks. Picks 15-30 will have less answers and more questions and picks 31-60 will have even more. Also like in real life there will be bust and gems. This draft is to be more fun and interesting with you guessing which players will be, scouting players, predicting how they will fit with your team etc. Test your scouting skills, take risk, and draft and see if you get a boom or bust prospect. It's all a fun guessing game. I'm posting it now so you can make a list of players on your draft board and have more time to prepare.
The list below is a big board of what "the scouts" think will be the best players. This isn't the actual list of players from best to worse.
