For the first in NBA draft history, the second round will take place on the day following Round 1, as the league has transitioned the event to a two-day format. Round 2 will tip off at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in New York at 4 p.m.

On Wednesday night, the Atlanta Hawks added a key talent to the franchise, selecting France’s Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 overall pick. Shortly after, Risacher’s fellow Frenchman Alex Sarr was selected No. 2 by the Washington Wizards.

In the first surprise of this year’s draft, the Detroit Pistons fended off trade offers to select NBA G League Ignite forward Ron Holland II with the fifth overall pick. Detroit will pick once again on Thursday, as they hold pick No. 53.

After not being selected in the first round, all eyes will be on Bronny James, son of four-time NBA MVP and Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James. Expectations are that he’ll be drafted towards the end of Round 2, if he is to be selected at all.

Here is what you need to know:

What: NBA Draft (second round)

When: June 26, 2024

Where: Barclays Center

Time: 8 p.m. ET

TV: ABC, ESPN

Alex Sarr was born in France and spent last season playing in Australia. Zaccharie Risacher was born in Spain and is coming off a breakout season in France.

The next step in their global basketball journey is the NBA, with one of them potentially heading to Atlanta on Wednesday night as the No. 1 pick in the draft.

“We grew up together, competing against each other, and now we are here in New York for the draft and it’s one day to realize our dream, you know?” Risacher said Tuesday. “So this is special.”

It’s a special time for France, which could have the No. 1 pick for a second straight season after Victor Wembanyama went to San Antonio last year amid enormous expectations and lived up to the hype in a Rookie of the Year season.

Neither Sarr, Risacher (pronounced Ree-zah-shay) nor anyone else will arrive with that type of promise, part of the reason the 2024 draft has long been viewed as a weak one. It’s unclear which way the Hawks will lean, or even if they are focusing on the two French players.

“For us, I feel like this is a great class, to be honest,” said Isaiah Collier, a guard from USC, where he was a teammate of LeBron James’ son, Bronny James.

“Everybody says it’s weak and everything like that, but for us I think it’s wide open because there’s a lot of good players and nobody really knows who’s at the top.”

They will find out at the start of what this year becomes a two-night draft. The first round will be held as usual at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the second round moves Thursday to ESPN’s Seaport District studios.

Much of the speculation surrounding the Hawks’ choice since they won the draft lottery last month initially focused on Sarr, a well-traveled 7-footer from Bordeaux, France, who began his pro career in Spain with Real Madrid’s youth team. He spent two years in the U.S. playing with Overtime Elite, a developmental league, and last season was with the Perth Wildcats in Australia’s National Basketball League.

He should soon be able to settle in somewhere, whether it’s back in Atlanta — where Overtime Elite is based — or Washington, Houston, San Antonio or Detroit, the teams that round out the top five spots.

“It’s been a long journey of me changing a lot of countries and now I know that I’m going to be probably in the same place for a couple of years, so it’s really exciting,” Sarr said.

His basketball existence is hard to imagine for one of the players he could be competing with for the No. 1 spot. Fellow center Donovan Clingan, who has worked out for the Hawks, has spent his entire life near his birthplace of Bristol, Connecticut, where he went to high school before helping UConn win back-to-back national championships.

“I can’t imagine traveling all over the world, just being away from your family and stuff,” Clingan said. “Just feels like his whole playing career really, ever since he was a young kid, just being on the move. So I’ve been lucky enough and blessed enough to have an opportunity to continue to stay playing in Connecticut, but I’m really excited to move away and start a new chapter.”

College teammate Stephon Castle is expected to join him in the top 10 picks, and Kentucky also could have a pair of players go early in freshmen guards Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham.

But that is nothing unusual for college basketball powerhouse programs. Kentucky had six players selected in both 2012 and 2015, the most in the two-round draft format that began in 1989, and the Huskies once went 2-3 in the draft with Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon in 2004.

But this is a whole new deal for France — or any country other than the U.S. If Sarr or Risacher is taken first, it would mark the first time that the draft went consecutive years without the No. 1 pick being someone who played at an American college.

They were teammates on France’s team that won a silver medal at the 2023 Under-19 World Cup, with Risacher scoring 13 points in a victory over the U.S. The 6-foot-9 forward also spent two seasons in France playing for ASVEL — owned by French Hall of Famer Tony Parker — and he was a one-time teammate of Wembanyama.

The Atlanta Hawks get the first pick during this year's NBA Draft. There are two top contenders for the No. 1 draft pick: Alex Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher, who both hail from France. Reed Sheppard, who played for the Kentucky Wildcats, and the Connecticut Huskies' player Donovan Clingan are also among the top prospects.

The Houston Rockets appear to be geared towards making a stunning attempt at Kevin Durant. With multiple connections on the staff, will Houston take the spotlight with a seismic move on draft night?

For the first time in many years, uncertainly looms large in the top five. After Victor Wembanyama’s No. 1 lock last year, will a pair of teenagers continue the French invasion in the top two? After capturing back-to-back championships for his hometown team in UConn, where will Donovan Clingan call his next home?

Will franchises prioritize best available over needs?

After months of speculation, where will Bronny James, son of NBA-all-time leading scorer LeBron James, be selected, if he is at all? Will the Lakers pull the tricky trigger to keep the King in Los Angeles for the remainder of his career?

For the first time ever, the NBA Draft will be spread across two days. The first round (picks 1-30) will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Wednesday. The no. 1 pick goes to the Atlanta Hawks. The second round (picks 31-58) will be held at ESPN's Seaport District Studios in Manhattan. In a rarity, it's unclear who might be among the top picks. Promising prospects include UConn center Donovan Clingan and Purdue Center Zach Edey, as well as French players Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr. Notably, LeBron James' son, Bronny James, has declared for the draft, with many wondering if he will end up on the Los Angeles Lakers like his father.

The first round of the NBA Draft was conducted last night, and there were not many surprises in the first few picks. French basketball star Zaccharie Risacher ended up getting selected first overall by the Atlanta Hawks. Then, seven foot Frenchman Alex Sarr went to the Washington Wizards with the second overall pick. These two players were the highest rated prospects entering this year’s draft, and they have a lot of potential.

The second round of the NBA Draft will feature two fewer picks than normal because the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns forfeited their picks due to a league punishment. With this in mind, some talented players will go undrafted this year.

Some important names in this year’s draft include Kyle Filipowski and Bronny James. James has received a lot of attention because he is the son of NBA great LeBron James.

Unlike his father, Bronny James played a year of collegiate basketball before declaring for the NBA Draft. He experienced a health complication last year, but he was able to fully recover and play some games last season. Although his collegiate performances were lackluster, Bronny James played well at the NBA Combine and raised his draft stock.

Notably, Bronny James could play with his father on the Los Angeles Lakers next season, as they currently have the 55th overall pick. Although, the draft board could drastically change over the next few hours.
