The NBA Draft typically spans two days. Since 2024, the NBA Draft has been split into two nights with the first round on the first day and the second round on the second day. The first round starts around 8 p.m. ET and with 30 teams allotted up to five minutes per pick, it can last up to around two and a half hours. The second round occurs the next day, also starting around 8 p.m. ET, with each team having four minutes per pick. In total, the draft includes two rounds, with a total of about 59-60 picks. The two-day format gives teams more time between rounds to make decisions. The draft is held near the end of June during the NBA offseason, often at a venue like Brooklyn's Barclays Center. So, in summary, the NBA Draft lasts about two evenings, with the first round running potentially up to two and a half hours on the first day and the second round taking place the next evening with shorter pick times per team.
