Tonight it's finally going to happen - Adam Silver, the NBA's commissioner, will call out Danny Abdia's name and then we'll know who the team that chose him after long weeks of rumors, analysis and speculation.
The event that will pass this time virtually due to the Corona's limitations will start at 2:00 (Sport 5) and at the end we will also know if Yam Madar was chosen by one of the best league teams in the world.
According to the latest predictions, it seems that Abdia will not be chosen in the first three places, so places 4-6 seem more realistic.
These are the Chicago, Cleveland and Atlanta elections.
While Minnesota will pick first, Golden State second and Charlotte third.
Of course, ESPN's TV show, and most recently a podcast, dealt with the night's draft, featuring former actors Paul Pierce and Kendrick Parknis, with senior analyst Mike Schmitz joining them on the panel.
"Choosing Lamlello Ball is a more significant risk than choosing Abdia," Schmitz argued.
"Abdia is a safer choice even if Bull has a higher ceiling than Danny. I estimate Abdia will be a top five player in the NBA easily."

Perknis actually referred to comparisons to Italian Danilo Glinari: "Danny is a good player. Reminiscent of Glinari, but I'm not sure he will have an immediate effect on his team."
Paul Pierce actually sounds completely different from his two panel members: "Danny is a dangerous choice. European players are more dangerous. Their statistics can be misleading, and there is a risk that they will not fit in outside the natural environment. We saw an actor like Ricky Rubio, who talked about him as a superstar Kind in the league. "
