ALL ACCESS - 2024 NBA Draft Big Board - March Update
🕑 Added 2024-03-05 17:24:19 +0000 UTCMy NBA Draft Big Board is back...and it's a lot bigger.
The new board covers 50+ prospects for the 2024 NBA Draft, their fantasy projections, rookie draft tiers, and advanced statistics.
This "bad draft" is going to produce a lot of fantasy talent and these big boards are going to give you a massive edge over your league.
A few important notes:
* Matas Buzelis and Ron Holland have moved up based on their sample sizes increasing since January - which allowed me to focus more on how their games had changed in the second half of their seasons. I'm getting a lot more comfortable with Buzelis as a potential top 100 dynasty asset if his top 5 draft projection holds.
* There are so many hidden fantasy gems in this class that you're going to steal in the latter portions of your rookie drafts. My method has been very strong on identifying draft sleepers so keep those names with big star rankings ⭐in mind as we head toward draft season.
* I've placed the players into tiers based on their expected draft capital. It matters (A LOT) where a player is drafted in the draft order to determine what kind of opportunities, minutes, and role the prospect likely gets in the NBA. As you'll see, there are plenty of players in the second-half of my rankings that have MUCH better fantasy stat sets than players in the top half, but where those players are likely to be drafted matters.
* Players are placed in tiers based on how the big media draft boards view these prospects' draft stock at the moment. They are then ranked within that tier based on their fantasy stat sets and their ages.
* The fantasy points projections are based on 1) the prospects' current per-70 possession statistics this season and 2) the "official" NBA fantasy scoring system and the Sleeper default scoring system. These are meant to be rough projections of what the prospects' fantasy points production could look like in the NBA if they got starters' minutes.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below.

The big media draft evaluators who have conversations with NBA front offices view Edey as a late first round/early second round pick because of significant concerns about his ability to play NBA defense. He’s improved his mobility this season but there’s a real risk that he’s a limited minutes bench big (the best version of Boban). Clingan is viewed as a consensus lottery pick because - while there are some concerns about his ability to stay on the floor for big starters’ minutes - he is a fantastic drop defender with solid mobility for a 7-2 center. As you can see on the board, Edey has the better fantasy stat set if you assume equal playing time - but every indication is that Clingan and Edey will have very different minutes in the NBA.
Zen as fuck
What is the reason to have Clingan that far ahead of Edey? Apart from being 2 years younger.
