The 2015 NBA draft will begin on Thursday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The Minnesota Timberwolves hold the No. 1 pick in the draft and are widely believed to be choosing between two centers: Kentucky's Karl Towns and Duke's Jahlil Okafor. The Los Angeles Lakers pick second, followed by the Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks and Orlando Magic to round out the top five.

Trade rumors are swirling in the lead-up to this year's draft. The Sacramento Kings, who pick sixth, are reportedly being inundated with trade offers for All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins, who appears to be at odds with head coach George Karl.
