Basketball fans will only get half of the excitement of the 2024 NBA Draft on Wednesday.
The first round of the 2024 NBA Draft will take place on Wednesday, starting at 8 p.m. ET, but that will only account for the first 30 picks of the draft. And unlike previous years, the NBA Draft will be split into multiple days.
Though the biggest names in college basketball and beyond happen in the first round of the draft, there is always plenty of value to be found in the second round. Nikola Jokic was taken 41st overall by the Nuggets in 2014. DeAndre Jordan was the 35th pick in the 2008 draft by the Clippers. Paul Millsap, Marc Gasol, and Dennis Rodman were all second-round selections.
There will be some big names left on the board after the first round of the draft, but when will they hear their names called? Here’s what you need to know about when the second round of the draft will be held.
