See how to watch the 2018 NBA draft. 

The 2018 NBA draft will take place Thursday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

All eyes are on Arizona's Deandre Ayton, the 19-year-old forward who is likely to be the first overall pick by the Suns. There's more competition for the No. 2 slot, belonging to Sacramento. Despite the hype surrounding international player Luka Doncic, the Kings may tap Marvin Bagley III from Duke. The Atlanta Hawks hold the third pick.

The Grizzlies and Mavericks round out the top five. The Cavaliers, who recently lost the NBA Finals, will pick eighth after acquiring Brooklyn's first-round pick in the trade that shipped Kyrie Irving to the Celtics last summer.
