Additionally, Senior NBA Insider Shams Charania will contribute breaking news updates as he makes his NBA Draft debut with ESPN. Front Office Insider Bobby Marks and NBA Draft analyst and international expert Jonathan Givony will provide insight into each team's approach and strategy for this year's event.

Prior to its night one coverage, ESPN will broadcast NBA Today from Barclays from 3-4 pm and NBA Today: Draft Red Carpet Special Presented by ESPN BET Sportsbook from 5-6 p.m., both hosted by Christine Williamson. ESPN will also air its NBA Draft Special Presented by ESPN Bet Sportsbook on Tuesday, June 24, from 7-8 p.m.
