The 2011 NBA Draft is expected to be held on June 23, 2011 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The draft will start at 7:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time (2300 UTC), and will be broadcast in the United States on ESPN. In this draft, National Basketball Association (NBA) teams take turns selecting amateur U.S. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players. The Cleveland Cavaliers will have the first pick.
The collective bargaining agreement between the league and its players union expires at the end of the 2010–11 season, and sports media are speculating that the NBA may lock out the players, which would scuttle the 2011 draft. However it currently appears that the draft will occur as planned because the collective bargaining agreement ends on July 1, over a week after the draft is scheduled.
