bakgrund
NBA-draften 2024
Wikipedia (en)
The 2024 NBA draft will be the 78th edition of the National Basketball Association's annual draft. Unlike recent years, the 2024 draft will take place over two nights. This will be the first time the NBA draft was held on multiple nights since the draft was shortened to two rounds, with earlier drafts consisting of as few as three or as many as seven rounds prior to the current format's debut in 1989. The first round will be on June 26, 2024, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and the second round on June 27 at ESPN's Seaport District Studios in Manhattan. The second round will also expand the time between picks from two minutes to four. For the third year in a row, the draft will consist of 58 picks instead of the typical 60, this time due to the loss of a second-round pick for both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Phoenix Suns for violating the NBA's tampering rules during free agency. The first overall selection is owned by the Atlanta Hawks.
