The 2024 NBA Draft is officially here. While this class of prospects lacks a clear superstar at the top, it's still a very anticipated day as teams across the league look to add talent, or even leverage their picks as trade chips for players already in the NBA.

With draft day finally being here, what do you need to know ahead of tonight's event?

New Format

The 2024 NBA Draft will actually be quite different this season, as the two rounds will be split into different days. This is a move that the league and its teams feel is the right move for several reasons. Not only does it allow teams to regroup after round one to make better decisions in round two, but it also creates a separate broadcast the following day for those players taken in the second round to get the coverage they deserve.

As such, this will be the first year in which the draft is split into two days. Round one will take place this evening, followed by round two tomorrow afternoon.
