2018年選秀會在美國星期四晚上在Brooklyn 舉行。一如事前預測長人DeAndre Ayton 被Phoenix Suns 以第一順位相中，成爲今年的狀元爺。
手持第二籤的Sacramento Kings 則選了另一長人Marvin Bagley III。
Dallas Mavericks 和Atlanta Hawks 達成交易，Mavericks 以第五選秀權和2019年的首輪籤換來Hawks 今年的第三選秀權。Mavericks 則以這個籤相中來自斯洛文尼亞的控衛Luka Doncic。至於Hawks 則用第五選秀權選下攻擊型控衛Trae Young。
另外兩名備受關注的長人Mohamed Bamba 和Michael Porter Jr. 分別在第六位 (Orlando Magic) 和第十四位 (Denver Nuggets) 被選下。不少選秀報告預測Porter 會在頭十順位內被選下，所以他可算今個選秀會是頭一大意外。
