Where is the NBA Draft?
The 2025 NBA Draft will be hosted at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
In advance of the draft lottery broadcast, an actual lottery takes place with a representative from the accounting firm Ernst & Young overseeing the entire process. The results of that drawing are then sealed in an envelope for NBA deputy commissioner and chief operating officer Mark Tatum to reveal in descending order to a panel of 14 anxious team representatives.
The No. 1 pick in the draft is awarded to the team that draws the winning four-number combination from the lottery machine. There are 14 ping-pong balls numbered one through 14, with each number representing a different lottery team. In total, there are 1,001 possible four-number combinations, but only one winning combination.
Once a winner is selected, the drawing process is repeated to determine picks 2-4. The rest of the draft is done in order of win percentage.
How many rounds does the NBA Draft have?
Since 1989, the NBA Draft has consisted of two rounds.
In the ’60s, the drafts ran until teams had run out of prospects, leading to drafts lasting up to 21 rounds. In 1974, 10 rounds were more common and in 1985 it was shortened to seven rounds. The NBPA and NBA agreed to limit the draft to two rounds with undrafted players given the chance to try out for any team.
When was the 2025 NBA Draft Combine?
The 2025 NBA Draft Combine took place from Sunday, May 11, 2025, to Sunday, May 18, 2025, in Chicago, IL.

The two-day, two-round affair is kicking off Wednesday night in Brooklyn, and the Dallas Mavericks have the No. 1 overall pick after shockingly winning the Draft Lottery last month.

Botafogo e Fluminense estão garantidos nas oitavas do Mundial (Vitor Silva/Botafogo) Craque Neto, apesar do forte apelo para valorizar o futebol brasileiro no Mundial, descarta o Palmeiras recebendo o apoio dos rivais. Levando em conta que Corinthians, São Paulo e Santos estão fora do torneio, o ex-jogador enxerga uma afinidade das três torcidas com Botafogo e Fluminense. Embora o Flamengo não seja um adversário direto no estado, o status do Rubro-Negro, visto como odiado, impede manifestações de suporte. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Campeão em 2000 e 2012, o Corinthians sequer esteve perto de disputar a Copa do Mundo de Clubes. Assim como os torcedores do Timão, houve uma sinalização do Craque Neto sobre a “dor de cotovelo” de são-paulinos e santistas com o sucesso do Palmeiras, que se encontra confirmado nas oitavas de final. “Eu estava aqui na redação da Band… os […]
Summer is offically here, and the stakes are high for U.S. women's national team players making their case to remain part of head coach Emma Hayes' future plans. The USWNT are back in action and will face Ireland and Canada during a trio of friendlies. The Stars and Stripes will kick off their summer window against Ireland on Thursday at DSG Park in Commerce City, Colorado, and players will have a chance to show what they bring to the player pool.Hayes named a 25-player roster for the upcoming matches with players returning from lengthy injuries, including Rose Lavelle and Croix Bethune, and several European-based players who are omitted for rest reasons. The lone exception, vice captain Naomi Girma, is back in the mix with the squad along with even more uncapped players -- a common trend for Hayes' time as […]
