Notes
[edit]- ^ Rounds 4, 5 and 6 were combined into a single "triple pick" round, wherein each team selected its three players in one go.
- ^ Muchachos' original first pick, Jesús Paganoni, had withdrawn from the Draft pool, unbeknownst to the team staff, which led to them being allowed to pick Hernández in his place.
- ^ Arcos was stolen by Club de Cuervos, but Los Chamos immediately used their own steal option to take him back.
- ^ Muchachos' seventh-round pick was moved to the end of the round after they failed to select a player within the 20-second time limit in their original turn.
First Split (February–May 2024)
[edit]The first split began on 25 February 2024 and is set to conclude with its Final Four on 4 May.
