USC basketball: How to watch the NBA Draft 2019
The 2019 NFL Draft tips off on Thursday night with USC basketball’s Kevin Porter Jr. on hand to hear his name called in the first round. Here’s how to watch.
USC basketball fans barely got to know Kevin Porter Jr. during his freshman season with the Trojans, but they’ll be able to track his pro career beginning tonight with the NBA Draft.
Taking place at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York, the draft green room will include Porter Jr. and other NBA hopefuls.

Porter Jr. may very well become the first Trojan to be picked up in the first round since Nikola Vucevic in 2011.
If he falls into the second round, he will still match the selections of De’Anthony Melton and Chimezie Metu from last year’s draft.
Another player to keep an eye on as the draft rolls on into the night? Bennie Boatwright.
PODCAST: It’s three-star silly season
USC’s senior captain will be hoping to sneak into a draft place in the second round despite missing out on an NBA Combine invitation.
How high will Porter Jr. rise despite some injury and behavioral red flags? Will Boatwright hear his name called? We’ll know by late Thursday.
ESPN will broadcast this year’s draft, starting a 4:00 p.m. Pacific.
