NBA Draft 2024: Live updates, picks, time, channel as uncertainty up and down the first round is the story in Brooklyn

While a French star is at the top of many draft boards, the similarities between the 2024 NBA Draft and 2023 edition end there. Victor Wembanyama, as Rick Pitino once put it, ain’t walking through that door for the Atlanta Hawks this season, as the club has the first pick for the first time since 1975. They picked Hall of Famer David Thompson then, but he didn’t pick them, choosing instead to sign with the ABA’s Denver Nuggets.

This year there isn’t any worry about which league the top players will choose, but it also isn’t certain how the top picks will shake out. International prospects Zaccharie Risacher (France) and Alex Sarr (Australia), along with college players Reed Sheppard (Kentucky) and Stephon Castle (UConn), are among the top players in a draft that doesn’t have a no-doubt No. 1 prospect.

Also hanging over the draft is the question of where Bronny James will get picked, if at all. You may have heard of his famous father, who has said throughout the years that he’d like to play with his son before he retires. Recently LeBron James‘ agent Rich Paul did say that LeBron and Bronny aren’t a package deal.

For the first time, the NBA Draft will be spread over two days, with the first round Wednesday night and the second round Thursday, June 27 at 4 p.m. ET.
