It’s draft time!!

Wait, what? For the new fans, draft day is when the teams get to select their new players! It’s three rounds of 12 picks, originally 1 pick each round per team. But the actual order and number of picks on draft night changes are based on factors like chance, the team's recent record (so the worst teams can get the better players), and trades made between teams. For example, through a series of luck, losing a lot, and many trades, the Dallas Wings have 4 picks in the first round.

Why you’ll love it: Do you enjoy watching young athletes succeed? Seeing them cry happy tears surrounded by their adorable families as their dreams come true? Learning what the youths think is stylish these days? Watching them attempt to put on their new team’s hat without ruining their hairstyle? Then this night is for you. Grab a pizza and enjoy.

How to watch: It airs on April 15 from 7 pm - 9 pm ET on ESPN. The draft is once again virtual, and you can get more details on pre-draft activities and fan participation opportunities here.

Who to watch for: I called in the expert on this one. Eric Nemchock has kindly agreed to walk me through his predictions on who he thinks will be the top picks. Then, I’ll fill you in on why you should immediately become a fan.

Let’s get to it.
