Now the second year of the NBA Draft’s two-day format, the event’s expansion allows an additional spotlight to be placed on the final 30 picks.

Having players like Johni Broome, a candidate for national player of the year last season, a national champion in Alijah Martin and one of the best 3-point threats in the draft in Koby Brea, teams are sure to get value out of some of college basketball’s top talent.
