The 2024 NBA draft is rapidly approaching, which means it’s time to begin unveiling my draft ranks. In the next week, I’ll finish publishing my positional rankings, culminating in a final overall big board in mid to late June. Below you’ll find the fourth installment in the series: Bigs. I define this position group as players who can either toggle back and forth between the power forward and center position, or are going to exclusively play the four. Ideally, a modern big can provide adequate levels of both rim protection and floor spacing, but they don’t necessarily have to be the primary provider of either in most lineups. If a big doesn’t provide either of those things, he probably has to be very good at one of them, or provide elite production elsewhere, such as on the glass, or as a highly versatile defensive chess piece.
