Teams no longer in contention have shifted their focus to the upcoming offseason activities, particularly the trade window, set to open on July 1, and the draft, scheduled over two days. On June 26, the first day, 30 players will be selected in the first round. The following day, June 27, will see 28 players chosen in the second round.
This year’s draft is generating significant anticipation, and according to ESPN’s mock draft predictions, it includes promising Spanish talent.

With young prospects like Núñez in the mix, the upcoming draft nights promise excitement and potential game-changing selections that could impact the NBA landscape for years to come.
