The week of the NBA draft kicks off: information, schedules and calendar

NBA draft week kicks off, which is celebrated at dawn from Thursday to Friday in Spain from 02:00 peninsular hours. The event to choose the talents of the future in the American league can be seen by #Let’s go Movistar+. The Orlando Magic, franchise with the number one pick, will likely opt for Jabari Smithfrom Auburn University, to lead the freshman class of 2022.

In a year filled with inside players and a notable lack of playmakers, Smith and Chet Holmgren the first two places are shared and Paolo Banchero among the Top 3. Among the international talents of reference we find the French Ousmane Diengoprojected for the first round, and the Serbian Nikola Jovic. The great unknown will be to see where Shaedon Sharpe falls, a physical and offensive wonder who did not play a game with Kentucky this season.
