There\u2019s a wider range of predictions on where exactly Veesaar will end up, but most experts see him coming off the board late in the first round.

UNC hasn\u2019t had multiple players drafted since 2019, when Coby White, Cam Johnson, and Nassir Little all went in the first round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The broadcast setup will be a bit different for the first and second rounds.
