On Thursday night, the basketball world turns its eyes toward the young men who will have basketball fans glued to their screens not only on NBA Draft night, but for years to come.

And one of the men who will work on the desk for ESPN’s coverage of the 2023 NBA Draft, Jay Bilas, joins Ariel Helwani today for a wide-ranging conversation about not only what will take place on Thursday, but also an array of subjects, like:

Jay Bilas is a college basketball analyst for ESPN. One of the foremost voices in collegiate athletics, Bilas has called games for the worldwide leader since the 1990s. A four-year player at Duke under coaching legend Mike Krzyzewski, Bilas is also a practicing lawyer.
