Last year’s inaugural draft saw captains LeBron James and Stephen Curry picking their teams in private, which drew a ton of criticism from fans and some of the players:

Yo @StephenCurry30 that was fun!! Definitely should’ve been televised. 🤷🏾‍♂️ #AllStarDraft⭐️

We’re tipping those picked last don;t want to make this public, but hey —just getting to an All-Star game is a win in itself. So don’t be a baby about it.

According to Stein and Draper, no firm date has been set for the 2019 draft, but Jan. 30 and 31 “have emerged as two potential targets for a TNT broadcast.”
