The Portland Trail Blazers come into tonight’s NBA draft armed with the seventh, 46th and 57th picks. It’s the first time the franchise has entered a draft with a lottery pick since CJ McCollum was taken 10th in 2013. Yes, the franchise also chose 10th in 2017 but only after a draft-night deal was agreed to with the Sacramento Kings.
The Orlando Magic owns the top selection for the first time since picking Dwight Howard in 2004. The draft order then includes the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers. However, there’s always a chance a trade or two will be executed throughout the night.
Auburn’s Jabari Smith Jr., Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren, Duke’s Paolo Banchero and Purdue’s Jaden Ivey have been widely projected as the names most likely to be called at the beginning of proceedings.
Here’s the critical information if you want to watch:
- Date and Time: Tonight, 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT
- Where: Barclays Center, New York City
- TV Coverage: First round on ABC, the whole draft on ESPN.
