At The Hive’s 2024 NBA Big Board

Jun 24, 2024 | atthehive.com | Chase Whitney

The final update. Following nearly 12 months of evaluation, it’s time to finalize the 2024 big board. Overall, this class has been interesting to scout; while the perceived dearth of star-caliber talent at the top of the draft is unappealing on the surface, it tested my philosophies, and exacerbated the importance of striking the ever-evolving balance between eye test and numbers.

At The Hive’s 2024 NBA Big Board, vol. 3

Jun 12, 2024 | atthehive.com | Chase Whitney

The At The Hive big board is back with another update. We’ve officially reached the homestretch of the 2024 draft cycle. With just exactly two weeks remaining until the NBA Draft, teams, analysts and armchair scouts (me) are finalizing their prospect rankings. Intel starts to factor in a bit more this time of year as players are shuttled to and from pre-draft interviews, workouts and meetings, and the rumor mill has started churning.

At The Hive’s 2024 NBA Big Board, vol. 2: post-NCAA withdrawal deadline update

May 30, 2024 | atthehive.com | Chase Whitney

Just under a month out from the 2024 NBA Draft, it’s time for another big board update. Pre-draft workout season has officially commenced. Teams across the league have been bringing in prospects for an up-close look for quite some time, and that will continue right up until the June 26 and 27 draft dates (side note; I’m so excited for the two-day draft. Give me all the fanfare and pomp and circumstance of the NFL Draft. Hopefully it fixes the hat issue for second-rounders, too).
