The NBA Draft is finally here. Festivities will kick off Thursday at 7 p.m. ET, where fortunes of a few lucky franchises could potentially be changed forever. On top of that, there's sure to be some interesting trades involving some established players.
This year's draft class is loaded, and not just at the top. Deandre Ayton and Marvin Bagley III are premium one-and-done players sure to hear their name called early, but international star Luka Doncic has franchise-changing talent, too. From top to bottom, the first round is loaded with quality talent in an unusually deep draft.
