Where did the 2018 NBA draft take place?

The 2018 NBA draft took place in Brooklyn, New York, at Barclays Center.

Held on June 21, 2018, the event marked the sixth consecutive NBA draft hosted by Barclays Center, the home arena of the Brooklyn Nets. The venue sits in the Atlantic Terminal area of Brooklyn and regularly hosts major sporting and entertainment events.

The draft began with the Phoenix Suns selecting Deandre Ayton first overall, followed by Marvin Bagley III and Luka Dončić among the early picks. The Brooklyn Nets made two selections in the first round, choosing Dzanan Musa at No. 29 and Rodions Kurucs at No. 40.

A common mix-up is answering “New York,” which is broadly accurate because Brooklyn is a borough of New York City. However, the quiz asks where the draft took place, and Brooklyn is the more precise canonical answer; the specific venue was Barclays Center.
