The 2024 CEBL Draft, the 6th edition of the Canadian Elite Basketball League's annual draft, was announced on April 11th, 2024. The 10 teams of the CEBL took turns selecting U Sports and Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association athletes to add to their rosters. The first overall selection was made by the Montreal Alliance, who selected 2024 U Sports Men's Basketball Championship MVP Ismaël Diouf of the Laval Rouge et Or.[1] The 2024 Draft marked the first time teams could select student-athletes from the CCAA, with Jerry Jr. Mercury of Mohawk College becoming the first such selection (30th overall to the Niagara River Lions).[2]
Format[edit]
The draft order for the first round is determined by how the teams finished in the 2023 CEBL season, with the last-placed Montreal Alliance obtaining the 1st overall pick. Employing a "snake draft" format, the order is reversed in even-numbered rounds, and returns to the original order in odd-numbered rounds. The draft order for the first round was determined as follows:[3]
- Montreal Alliance
- Brampton Honey Badgers
- Saskatchewan Rattlers
- Vancouver Bandits
- Edmonton Stingers
- Scarborough Shooting Stars
- Ottawa Blackjacks
- Winnipeg Sea Bears
