Tonight (Wednesday to Thursday, 03:00, Sport 5), will come the big moment in Danny Abdia's life when he will officially become an NBA player after being selected in the 2020 draft, in the hope that he will become the first Israeli to be selected in the top 10.
The excitement in Israel is enormous and everyone is waiting to see which team will choose Danny Abdia, and whether Yam Madar will surprise everyone and will also be chosen by one of the best league teams in the world.
"Israel Today" will update you throughout the night on all the news and reports from the historic draft night.
As we know, on the eve of the draft, anything can happen, and the election order set in the lottery may change in real time due to these and other trades.
If there are no changes this is how it should happen.

As it seems at the moment, Abdia is not expected to be chosen among the top three places and it seems that Chicago, Cleveland or Atlanta may be the ones to be named after the Israeli talent.
The forecast for the top 5
1. Lamelo Ball
2. James Weissman
3. Anthony Edwards
4. Danny Abdia (Chicago Bulls)
5. Obi Topin
* Including predictions from recent sites in the US
Earlier today it was reported that Golden State, which holds the second pick in tonight’s draft, is in talks with Chicago over a trade that will include an election swap and a move by center Wendell Carter Jr. from the Bulls to the Warriors.
It is very possible that this improves Danny Abdia's chances of getting to San Francisco, as in recent months it has been reported more than once that if Golden State does choose him, it is more likely to happen not from second place but after one trade or another.
