How to watch the 2022 NBA Draft
The 2022 NBA Draft is finally here and it will be a historic night for the Auburn basketball program.
Jabari Smith is widely considered the favorite to be drafted No. 1 overall by the Orlando Magic and Walker Kessler is expected to be drafted towards the end of the first round.
If Smith does go first overall the Tigers will join LSU and UCLA as the only schools to have No. 1 overall draft picks in the NBA, NFL, and MLB drafts. If Kessler also goes in the first round it will be the first time in program history that multiple Tigers were drafted in the first round.
Both of them and head coach Bruce Pearl will be in Brooklyn for their big nights.
