Smith will appear on both ABC and ESPN during the first segment of the NBA Draft broadcast.

Malika Andrews will host ESPN's coverage with analysts Jay Bilas, Kendrick Perkins and Andraya Carter on the main set. Additionally, Senior NBA Insider Shams Charania will contribute breaking news updates as he makes his NBA Draft debut with ESPN. Front Office Insider Bobby Marks and NBA Draft analyst and international expert Jonathan Givony will provide insight into each team's approach and strategy for this year's event.

Prior to its night one coverage, ESPN will broadcast NBA Today from Barclays from 3-4 pm and NBA Today: Draft Red Carpet Special Presented by ESPN BET Sportsbook from 5-6 p.m., both hosted by Christine Williamson. ESPN will also air its NBA Draft Special Presented by ESPN Bet Sportsbook on Tuesday, June 24, from 7-8 p.m.

Additionally, Shams Charania, Bobby Marks, Jonathan Givony and senior NBA writer Brian Windhorst will contribute to ESPN's night two coverage.

ESPN Radio will provide national audio coverage of the two-night NBA Draft from the Barclays Center with coverage beginning at 7:30 p.m. Alan Hahn will host the NBA Draft with analysts P.J. Carlesimo, Seth Greenberg and Cory Alexander.

ESPN will present an NBA Draft live reaction show on its YouTube and Facebook platforms beginning at 7:50 p.m. on June 25.
