The 2021 NBA Draft is set for Thursday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with the Duke men’s basketball program looking to continue its recent draft dominance.
The 2020-21 ACC Most Improved Player, Matthew Hurt, joined a pair of talented freshmen – Jalen Johnson and DJ Steward – in declaring for this year’s draft. Johnson is one of 20 players who received an invitation to the NBA Draft Green Room – a staging area in front of the NBA draft podium where players, families and agents await league commissioner Adam Silver to call each selection.
