“I am so excited to be the host of the 2022 NBA draft,” she said in a video. “It’s really kind of beyond words. We just finished the draft lottery, and I feel like that’s great training, maybe, hopefully for the draft. But, at the end of the day, I know I have a great team behind me.”

Andrew will join the likes of Jay Bilas, Kendrick Perkins, Adrian Wojnarowski, Bobby Marks and Mike Schmitz when covering the event which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 23 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
