The 2016 NBA Draft is right around the corner. On Thursday, 60 draft eligible prospects will hear their name called under the bright lights of the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York. Many in the basketball world have called this a “two-man draft” but like every draft, there are many sleepers, busts, surprises and players who eventually become NBA all-stars.

The NBA draft is a very enjoyable night for teams, prospects and fans. Certain teams elect to rebuild through free agency. Chasing star free agents isn’t something all teams are interested in, which makes the NBA Draft that much more important. Even with an increasing salary cap, Players flocking to small markets are slim to none, and first-round picks in the NBA Draft are some of the most valuable assets
