It's time to dream big, so find out how next season might just go and read on as we explain how to get a 2022 NBA Draft live stream no matter where you are in the world.NBA Draft live stream 2022 Date: Thursday, June 23 Time: 8pm ET / 5pm PT / 1am BST / 10am AEST Venue: Barclays Center, New York City US TV coverage: ESPN Plus or ESPN via Sling TV Global live streams: Kayo Sports FREE trial (opens in new tab) (AU) TSN (CA) Sky Sports (opens in new tab) (UK) Watch anywhere: try the world's best VPN 100% risk-free (opens in new tab) Orlando Magic have the first overall pick for the first time since 2004, but will it be the 3-point specialist from Auburn or the all-action 7-foot phenomenon from Gonzaga that they opt for? Smith is seen as the safer choice given Holmgren's feathery frame, but if he's able to bulk up enough to handle himself against the big boys, there's a sense that the latter has a lot more strings to his bow. Duke freshman Banchero is another all-court talent with an extremely high ceiling, while Ivey, the explosive playmaker coming out of Purdue, also looks set to go early. It's going to be an interesting night in the life of Charlotte Hornets GM Mitch Kupchak, who has two first-round picks but no head coach to scheme with, while the Portland Trail Blazers need to pull something special out of the hat to convince Dame Lillard to stick around.
