The NBA's annual draft season comes to a head on Wednesday night with the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft at the Barclays Center.

The Atlanta Hawks, winners of the lottery and owners of the No. 1 pick this year, will kick off the draft on Wednesday night after holding workouts with various prospects heading into this week. Many analysts believe the team will select French standout wing Zaccharie Risacher, but there still is not a full consensus on even that first overall pick entering the first round.

Though with mere hours to go before the start of the draft, most of the excitement doesn't revolve around which player will be the first overall pick, but rather whether (and/or when) Bronny James will hear his name called. LeBron James' son played just one year of college basketball at Southern California before declaring for the draft.

Here's the full order of picks across both rounds in the 2024 NBA Draft.
