Following two delays amid the pandemic, the NBA draft will finally take place on Wednesday night.
Following two delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, it's finally time for the NBA draft.
The league will host the draft virtually for the first time ever on Wednesday night. Commissioner Adam Silver and deputy commissioner Mark Tatum will announce the picks live from ESPN's headquarters in Connecticut. Some of the drafted players are expected to join the broadcast virtually.
The draft was originally scheduled for June, but following the league's COVID-19 delay, it was pushed back until mid-October. In September, the NBA and NBPA agreed to move the draft date again as part of a series of key offseason dates that were shifted.
The Timberwolves have the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft after winning the lottery. The Warriors, Hornets, Bulls and Cavaliers round out the top five.
There's still plenty of buzz over who will be selected with the No. 1 overall pick. According to Sports Illustrated's NBA draft expert Jeremy Woo, Anthony Edwards and James Wiseman appear likely to be the first two players off the board. In his latest mock draft, Woo also predicts that LaMelo Ball will go to the Bulls with the No. 4 pick, while other standouts like Obi Toppin, Deni Avdija and Tyrese Haliburton are in the top 10.
