The 12 prospects invited to attend the 2024 NBA Draft in the Brooklyn green room (so far)

Even though the 2024 NBA Draft is not considered as strong as last season, it is still one of the most exciting times of the year.

Nowhere is that excitement felt more than in the green room, a staging area at Barclays Center in Brooklyn where top prospects are invited to sit with their families as they wait to find out what pro team they will play for once they’re in the NBA.

This is often an indicator of how teams around the league view top prospects because the invitation list is based on votes from NBA front offices. But even when a prospect receives an invite to the green room, it can still go poorly on draft night.

Meanwhile, just because a player does not receive an invitation does not mean they don’t get selected early. There are always surprises on draft night!

Based on ESPN’s reporting, we already know 12 of the prospects who have received invitations for the green room.

Here are the players who have received the green room nod so far:
