The 2018 NBA Draft promises to be nothing short of entertaining. With the No. 1 pick, the Phoenix Suns appear to have their sights set on Arizona big man Deandre Ayton. But down the board one spot, it's a mystery which direction the Kings will take at No. 2. Will Marvin Bagley III hear his name called? What about Luka Doncic? Will they trade the pick and move down? What path Sacramento blazes could significantly alter the rest of the lottery selections.

With a deep crop of talent at the top of the board that includes recognizable names like Doncic, Jaren Jackson Jr., Mohamed Bamba, Michael Porter Jr. and Trae Young among others, there is plenty of intrigue as to where all the projected stars eventually fall. So if you're tuning in to watch it all unfold in real time (which, let's face it, you're definitely doing), then we've got the perfect streaming option fit to meet your needs.
