The first night of the NBA Draft has come to a close. French forward Zaccharie Risacher went No. 1 overall to the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit provided an early stunner by grabbing Ron Holland at No. 5 and the Minnesota Timberwolves traded up for guard Rob Dillingham at No. 8.
And, no, Bronny James did not hear his name called yet.
That means there’s still plenty to watch for when round two starts on Thursday — including a few players still in the building.
The NBA invited 24 of the prospects to the draft green room, but only two remain after Day 1: Kansas’ Johnny Furphy, and Duke’s Kyle Flipowski.
The two shouldn’t be on the draft board much longer, but they’ll at least have to endure another night before learning their future.
