May 2024 Top 60 NBA $DRFT Stock Update

The Wolf of Ball Street looks upon mainstream big boards to set May's stock prices for the Top 60 prospects of the 2024 NBA Draft Class.

May 16, 2024

Alright, folks, the Draft Lotto's done its thing, the NBA Draft Combine's in full swing, and we're just a month away from the big day. Now, typically, by this point, we'd have a clearer picture of where our top prospects stand. But let me tell ya, this year's been anything but typical. Reed Sheppard's out there soaring with a 42-inch vertical, ESPN's flooding us with Bronny coverage like there's no tomorrow, and who would've thought Zach Edey would outdo Alex Sarr in agility drills? This draft? Wide open and confusing as ever, my friends.

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, the Athletic, 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!
