*****************************
It's a huge day for Kiwi basketballer Steven Adams today. The seven-foot tall Adams is poised to become the first New Zealander ever to have been a first-round pick in the NBA draft.
We profiled Adams on Monday. And we will be keeping a close eye on the draft when it starts, live on ESPN around midday. Adams has impressed a number of team bosses and scouts, and the pundits are tipping him to be picked up inside the top 14 picks.
And Steven Adams will be there in person, having been invited to the Green Room at the Barclay Centre with other top draft hopes. It will be an exciting but nervous day for the young player.
We'll bring updates on the draft as it happens; kia kaha Steven Adams!
