The second round of the 2024 NBA Draft gets underway at 6am AEST on Friday morning and all eyes are on when Australian prospect Johnny Furphy has his name called.
ESPN ranked Furphy as its 18th overall ranked player in this year’s class but he isn’t expected to have to wait much longer in the second round, with the 19-year-old expected to be taken early.
Toronto, Utah and Milwaukee are the first three teams on the board and there is also the possibility another team could trade up to take Furphy, surprised that he is still available given the Kansas wing was projected as a mid-to-late first-round pick.

ROUND ONE WRAP: Aussie’s slide; emotional steal as OKC draft Giddey replacement
TALKING POINTS: Lakers’ ‘extraordinary’ coup; why Aussie blow isn’t what it seems
Duke forward Kyle Filipowski was the only other surprise name to slide out of the first round, having also received an invite to the green room ahead of Thursday’s Barclays Center event.
While the invite is no guarantee a prospect will be selected, 23 of 25 players in the green room were selected in the opening round, with Furphy and Filipowski the only ones to miss out.
Elsewhere, later in the draft attention will turn to whether LeBron James’ son Bronny is drafted, with the Lakers selecting at 55th overall.
Phoenix was the only other team to work out Bronny ahead of the draft but the Suns traded back and selected Ryan Dunn at No.28, leaving the Lakers as the likely landing spot for the USC guard.
