the 2018 nba draft was held on june 21, 2018, at barclays center in brooklyn, new york. national basketball association (nba) teams took turns selecting amateur united states college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players. it was televised nationally by espn. this draft was the last to use the original weighted lottery system that gave teams near the bottom of the nba draft better odds at the top three picks of the draft while teams higher up had worse odds in the process; the rule was agreed upon by the nba on september 28, 2017, but would not be implemented until the 2019 draft. it was also considered the final year where undrafted college underclassmen were forced to begin their professional careers early; on august 8, 2018, the ncaa announced that players who declared for the nba draft and were not selected would have the opportunity to return to their school for at least another year. with the last year of what was, at the time, the most recent lottery system (with the nba draft lottery being held in chicago instead of in new york), the phoenix suns won the first overall pick on may 15, 2018, with the sacramento kings at the second overall pick and the atlanta hawks at third overall pick. the suns' selection was their first no. 1 overall selection in franchise history. they used the selection on the bahamian center deandre ayton from the nearby university of arizona.

the 1980 nba draft was the 34th annual draft of the national basketball association (nba). the draft was held on june 10, 1980, before the 1980–81 season. in this draft, 23 nba teams took turns selecting amateur u.s. college basketball players and other eligible players, including international players. the first two picks in the draft belonged to the teams that finished last in each conference, with the order determined by a coin flip. the boston celtics, who obtained the detroit pistons' first-round pick in a trade, won the coin flip and were awarded the first overall pick, while the utah jazz were awarded the second pick. the celtics then traded the first pick to the golden state warriors before the draft. the remaining first-round picks and the subsequent rounds were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win–loss record in the previous season. an expansion franchise, the dallas mavericks, took part in the nba draft for the first time and were assigned the eleventh pick in each round. a player who had finished his four-year college eligibility was automatically eligible for selection. before the draft, five college underclassmen announced that they would leave college early and would be eligible for selection. the draft consisted of 10 rounds comprising the selection of 214 players. this draft has the distinction of being the first nba draft to be televised.
