Mock NBA Draft 2024: Picks and predictions for all 58 picks in draft
11. (41) Philadelphia 76ers - Harrison Ingram, W, North Carolina
After already drafting Tristan da Silva with the 17th pick, the Sixers go back to the well for some more wing depth. Ingram measured at 6’5” with a 7’0” wingspan which helps with his defensive versatility. Additionally, he’s a connective passer on offense and an improved shooter on offense. While he still has a way to go offensively, he has a very mature game and can make an impact for the Sixers, who go into the offseason with 12-13 open roster spots, and immediately find playing time.
12. (42) Charlotte Hornets - Trentyn Flowers, W, Adelaide
Flowers is young, as he reclassified to join Louisville and then ended up playing in the NBL instead, Flowers wasn’t productive in the NBL, but again, he is super young, as he doesn’t turn 20 until March. Flowers is an athlete’s athlete. He tied for a combine-best 42-inch vertical. He’s also an excellent passer and is a walking paint touch due to his athleticism. He can draw fouls at will. Flowers would be an excellent addition to the Hornets.
13. (43) Miami Heat - Jonathan Mogbo, PF, San Francisco
The Heat were one of the worst rebounding and unathletic teams in the league last year. Mogbo provides plus attributes in both of those categories. Mogbo is not only an athlete and a rebounder, but he can handle well in the open court and play make some, which helps given he’s a mere 6’6”. He can play behind or alongside Bam Adebayo and Miami desperately could use another big of his ilk. This is a match made in heaven if Mogbo falls this far on Day 2 of the draft.
14. (44) Houston Rockets - Jamal Shead, PG, Houston
The Rockets roster is deep with talent, but there’s a glaring hole in terms of the backup point guard position. While I have them taking Reed Sheppard at #3 overall, he can handle some of the ball-handling duties if he and Fred VanVleet are staggered; however, Shead’s defensive prowess and passing instincts would be a welcomed addition to Ime Udoka’s locker room. Not to mention, Shead played at the University of Houston and is a local kid as a result.
