2024 NBA draft complete order of picks as event expands to two days

The NBA draft will unfold across two days in 2024, a departure from recent years when both rounds played out in one night, often extending to the wee hours of next morning.

Wednesday’s first round at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, begins at 8 p.m. and will be televised by ABC and ESPN.

Thursday’s second round at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in Manhattan, starts at 4 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN.

Former University of Kentucky players to watch for in the draft include Reed Sheppard, Rob Dillingham, Justin Edwards and Antonio Reeves.
