Then during draft day teams have 5 minutes to decide on who to draft, or they can trade their pick for another pick or player.

A student at Rio Norte, Danner Angeles, was interviewed about his thoughts on the NBA draft. He was asked, What is your favorite part about the NBA draft?, he responded, “My favorite part is probably the five minutes that the team has to select someone. It kinda gives the fans a excitement and interest on what the team will do.” He was also asked Who do you think is going to be drafted first in the NBA draft?, he answered, “Obviously Alex Sarr, he is the most obvious number one pick and is a great fit for the team that has the number one draft pick.” The last question he was asked was, Who is your favorite player in the NBA draft?, he then answered, “Stephen Castle because I admire his game and kinda copied some of his moves. I like the way he is on and off the court and will be a solid addition to the NBA”
