What is the complete 2024 NBA Draft order?
We won't know the complete draft order until after the 2024 NBA Draft lottery and the conclusion of the regular season.
The 14 teams that miss out on the playoffs are eligible for the draft lottery, which determines the first four picks in the draft, with Nos. 5-14 then going in inverse order of regular-season record.
The rest of the first-round picks and all of the second-round selections are determined by reverse order of regular season record.
