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- ^ Muchachos' original first pick, Jesús Paganoni, had withdrawn from the Draft pool, unbeknownst to the team staff, which led to them being allowed to pick Hernández in his place.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 May 4.
