The 2024 NBA Draft is here. Budding young basketball players get the spotlight and a chance of turning into a superstar overnight.
The question is, in a few months to a few years' time, who will be the treasure and who will be the dud?
Here are the things you need to know.
Schedule
The 2024 NBA Draft has been expanded to two nights. The first round will be on Thursday, June 27, Philippine time. While the second will be on Friday, June 28.
First Round
June 27, Thursday
- 5:00 a.m.: LIVE on NBA TV Philippines (Cignal Ch. 262 HD | Ch. 96 SD) and Pilipinas Live
Second Round
June 28, Friday
- 4:00 a.m.: LIVE on Pilipinas Live
Key facts
- New York state of mind: The first round will be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, home of the Brooklyn Nets. The second round will take place at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in New York.
- Time won't be ticking as fast: The first round will continue to have five minutes between draft picks. For the second round, the time between draft picks will increase to four minutes from two minutes.
- Who will be No. 1?: This isn't so clear-cut this year, with players like Alex Sarr (France), Zaccharie Risacher (France), Donovan Clingan (UConn) and Reed Sheppard (Kentucky) all in the mix, among others.
- History in the making?: The 2023 No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama did not play in a US college. Will this be the consecutive year that a player outside the US will be chosen?
- Lottery format: The teams eligible for the Draft Lottery were the 14 teams that missed the 2024 Playoffs. After drawings were conducted for the first four picks, the remaining lottery teams pick in inverse order of their regular-season record (Nos. 5-14).
- Following picks: The Draft selections for the remainder of the first round (Nos. 15-30) and the entire second round (Nos. 30-58) are determined by reverse order of regular-season record.
- Most picks: Portland and San Antonio have the most picks in this year’s Draft, with four apiece, followed by five teams (IND, MEM, NYK, UTA, WAS) with three picks each.
- Fewest picks: Brooklyn, the hosts of Round 1, has the fewest picks this year with zero.
