With Ben Simmons going No. 1 overall, Brandon Ingram being selected No. 2 and 14 international players being selected in the first round, the 2016 NBA Draft had its fair share of interesting moments. And with the Draft being a pinnacle event in the league, NBA players tuned in to support their friends and to see who their respective teams drafted on Thursday.
