April 2024 Top 60 NBA $DRFT Stock Update
The Wolf of Ball Street looks upon mainstream big boards to set April's stock prices for the Top 60 prospects of the 2024 NBA Draft Class.
March Madness has come to an end, and that can only mean one thing…
It’s Draft Season, kid!
For those of you who are new here and are trying to gauge which prospects your favorite lottery team may be investing in a few months from now…welcome to the party!
The goal here is simple: to put you, the investor, in the best spot to get the best return on investment when building out your 2024 NBA Draft portfolio.
The $DRFT stock prices are built by looking upon the most recent mainstream big board rankings to set each prospect’s average stock price. This approach gives us more of a big-picture view of where each prospect’s current draft stock is trending, taking away any bias that a singular outlet may have. This month, we look upon ESPN, Bleacher Report, Yahoo, Tankathon, the Ringer, and ya’ boys at No Ceilings.
It’s important to be cognizant of the fact that the draft cycle is always evolving. A prospect’s draft stock is fluid; nothing is set in stone, and as we continue on through the pre-draft process, we may start to see some dramatic changes up and down the board.
As we continue to speculate on which prospects will yield the biggest ROI for the remainder of the draft cycle, always remember the number one rule on Ball Street…
Nobody - and I don’t care if you’re Jonathan Givony or if you’re Jimmy Buffet - nobody knows if a stock is going to go up, down, sideways, or in circles!
