Millions of people will tune into ESPN tonight to watch the 2015 NBA Draft. The Minnesota Timberwolves are expected to take Karl-Anthony Towns with the #1 pick. At #2 most experts expect the Los Angeles Lakers to select big man Jahlil Okafor. The Philadelphia 76ers and GM Sam Hinkie are hard to predict. Most likely it will be guard D’Angelo Russell, guard Emmanuel Mudiay or forward Kristaps Porzingis. Don’t be too surprised if the Sixers select another player as they have been unpredictable in recent years.
The New York Knicks and Phil Jackson will be on the clock at #4. Expect them to take Porzingis, Mudiay or Russell depending on who has not been selected. Finally, the Orlando Magic will have the fifth pick. They have been linked to international prospect Kristaps Porzingis from Latvia if he is still available.
ESPN will start broadcasting the festivities at 7 PM EST. The broadcast is expected to run until midnight EST. The NBA Draft will be followed by Sportscenter which is expected to spend a lot of time recapping the draft. Rece Davis, Jay Bilas, Jalen Rose and Jay Williams headline the network’s broadcast coverage.
