31.
Toronto Raptors: Jaylon Tyson, SF, California 
The Raptors have some talented forwards, but they could stand to add depth at the position.

32.
Utah Jazz: Bobi Klintman, F, Sweden 
The Jazz used two picks on front-court players, so it’s now time to address the guard situation.
33.
Milwaukee Bucks: Kyle Filipowski, C, Duke 
Brook Lopez is entering his contract year, so the Bucks may want to add another big man.
34.
Portland Trailblazers: Kevin McCullar, SG, Kansas 
Here’s some backcourt depth for the Blazers, who are thin in the area.
35.
San Antonio Spurs: Juan Nunez, PG, Germany 
I would expect the Spurs to use multiple picks on guards, as they happen to be very weak in that area.
36.
Indiana Pacers: Tyler Smith, PF/C, USA 
The Pacers need to make sure they get better defensively because they can’t stop anyone.
37.
Minnesota Timberwolves: Justin Edwards, SG/SF, Kentucky 
No second-round pick the Timberwolves add will crack the rotation, so Minnesota could use this selection on a developmental player.
38.
New York Knicks: Jonathan Mogbo, PF/C, San Francisco 
The Knicks should continue to add quality depth just in case they suffer countless injuries like they did in the playoffs.
39.
Memphis Grizzlies: Jaylen Wells, SF, Washington State 
The Grizzlies are a thin team, so they should focus on adding the top players available at every choice.
40.
Portland Trailblazers: A.J. Johnson, SG, Australia 
This is Portland’s fourth pick, so one selection in the second round could be used on a developmental foreigner.
41.
Philadelphia 76ers: Ajay Mitchell, PG, UC-Santa Barbara 
The 76ers could use their initial pick on a point guard. If they don’t, they may want to do that here.
42.
Charlotte Hornets: Pelle Larsson, SG/SF, Arizona 
Another wing player for a Hornets team that needs all the help it can get.
43.
Miami Heat: Jamal Shead, PG, Houston 
Here’s some guard depth for a Miami team that had plenty of injuries this past season.
44.
Houston Rockets: Harrison Ingram, SF/PF, North Carolina 
The Rockets could use another depth player on the wing.
45.
Sacramento Kings: Trentyn Flowers, SF/PF, USA
The Kings went with a guard in the first round, so they could address the front court with this selection.
46.
Los Angeles Clippers: Cam Spencer, SG, Connecticut 
The Clippers have some old guards they’ll need to replace in the near future.
47.
Orlando Magic: Adem Bona, C, UCLA 
Jarrett Allen dominated the Magic, so here’s a center to help in that regard.
48.
San Antonio Spurs: Melvin Ajinca, SG/SF, France 
With numerous picks during the 2024 NBA Draft, the Spurs are likely to pursue a developmental foreign prospect.
49.
Indiana Pacers: Oso Ighodaro, PF/C, Marquette 
The Pacers could stand to add another big man for depth, as they need to get better in that area.
50.
Indiana Pacers: Dillon Jones, SF, Weber State 
The Pacers’ other consecutive second-round pick could be used on a forward to help in terms of depth.
51.
Washington Bullets: Nikola Djurisic, SG/SF, Serbia 
The Bullets could use this pick on a foreign player who could join them once they’re good in the distant future.
52.
Golden State Warriors: Keshad Johnson, SF/PF, Arizona
Steph Curry isn’t getting any younger, so the Warriors need to find some younger wing players for the future.
53.
Detroit Pistons: K.J. Simpson, PG, Colorado 
The Pistons have Cade Cunningham at the point, but they could use a better backup.
54.
Boston Celtics: Jalen Bridges, SF, Baylor 
The Celtics could add someone to challenge for forward depth at this spot.
55.
Los Angeles Lakers: Bronny James, G, USC 
Probably the easiest pick to predict in the entire 2024 NBA Draft.
56.
Denver Nuggets: Ulrich Chomche, C, Cameroon 
The Nuggets can try to develop someone behind Nikola Jokic by allowing them to spend time overseas.
57.
Phoenix Suns: Enrique Freeman, PF/C, Akron 
The Suns are weak at center, so this is an area they must address.
58.
Dallas Mavericks: P.J. Hall, C, Clemson 
The Mavericks have an incredible backcourt, so they need to add some bigs.
