Every year there are a million different things that could happen on NBA draft night, but this year feels like it’s going to be particularly crazy.

By now you know how many of the top draft picks could be on the move, but the amount of top-level NBA talent that could be on the move on draft night is just as staggering.

Over the past several weeks rumors have been swirling about players that teams would be willing to trade and as we get closer to the draft, more names are being dropped in reports.
