Years of hard work and sacrifice - not to mention a healthy dose of dreaming - will come to fruition on Thursday night when dozens of the top amateur and foreign basketball players in the world will be selected in the NBA Draft.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been on the clock since they were awarded the first pick in the 2015 Draft in May, by way of the controversial lottery. Should the T-Wolves keep the pick, rather than trade it, the team will have all three of the last no. 1 picks on its roster.

NBA writers have been mocking this draft since this time last year, but who are the top prospects and how do they play? Watch the videos below for those answers.

Karl Anthony-Towns, University of Kentucky

Jahlil Okafor, Duke University

D'Angelo Russell, Ohio State University

Kristaps Porzingis, Latvia

Justise Winslow, Duke University
