...

So what happens during the NBA Draft? When it is a team's turn to choose their pick, the chosen player will go play for that team. If another team wanted that player, they can potentially trade. If a team's potential pick is chosen by another team, they go down their list and chose a player that hasn't been picked yet. Not every player in attendance at the draft will be chosen to play on an NBA team.
Update 6/23/2022, 9:56 p.m.: This article has been updated to include later draft picks.
