There will be a new wrinkle in the 2024 NBA draft with it being a two-day event rather than one night. In the past, both rounds of the draft would be conducted in just one night, but this year, the draft is two days.
It’s a little different for teams who are so used to having everything done in one night so some have hit up some teams in the NFL to see how things are done. The NFL draft is three days so those teams understand how something like this works.
The Philadelphia 76ers, who are governed by Josh Harris and David Blitzer of Harris & Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, have been in collaboration with the Washington Commanders to get advice on what to do on day 2 on Thursday.
Per Jake Fischer of Yahoo! Sports:
The Philadelphia 76ers are owned by a managing group spearheaded by Joshua Harris, who’s also led a recent acquisition of the Washington Commanders. All teams under the Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment umbrella regularly collaborate, and the Sixers and Commanders held a meeting about how to approach the second night of this year’s NBA Draft, according to one source with knowledge of those discussions. Philadelphia is slated to pick at No. 41 on Thursday night.
It will be interesting to see how the Sixers handle this type of draft process. Round 1 of the draft is set for Wednesday evening at 8 p.m. EDT while Round 2 is set for Thursday at 4 p.m. EDT.
