NEW YORK (AP) – The Latest from the NBA draft at Barclays Center in New York.(all times local):

6:50 p.m.

All eyes will be on long-presumed No. 1 pick Ben Simmons when the NBA Draft gets started, and then it’s Brandon Ingram’s turn when the Los Angeles Lakers make the No. 2 pick.

After that, the intrigue begins.

Boston holds eight picks in this draft, including the No. 3 selection. And what Danny Ainge does or doesn’t do with that selection will likely shape many of the other 57 decisions that will follow over the course of the evening.
