NBA draft updates: Tracking all picks and trades in Round 1
NBCUniversal Media, LLC
With the first pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks select...
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will complete that sentence when the draft begins with the first round on Wednesday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
It's still unclear exactly which direction the Hawks will go at No. 1 overall. Will they take one of the highly touted French prospects in wing Zaccharie Risacher and big man Alexandre Sarr? What about UConn big man Donovan Clingan? Or could Atlanta trade out of the top selection?
Zaccharie Risacher is a projected top-two pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and is the son of an Olympian and French Hall of Famer.
The drama certainly won't stop after the first pick, either. Where will other top prospects like UConn guard Stephon Castle and Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard land? Will the Los Angeles Lakers pair Bronny James with LeBron James? While it looks like Kevin Durant is staying put, could other big names like Trae Young and Brandon Ingram get moved?
Stay tuned here for the latest updates from Round 1 as picks and trades are made:

How many picks are in the NBA draft?
There are typically 60 picks -- 30 first-rounders, 30 second-rounders -- in the NBA draft, but there will be 58 selections this year. That's because the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns were each docked a second-round pick over tampering violations.

What trades have happened during the NBA draft?
- The first deal of the night came roughly an hour before the draft was scheduled to begin. The Washington Wizards traded forward Deni Avdija to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for guard Malcolm Brogdon, the 14th overall pick and a 2029 draft pick, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported.
