Add a new job title to Mike Hopkins’ resume – NBA draft analyst.

The Washington men’s basketball coach will be part of Yahoo Sports’ live NBA draft coverage next Thursday, replacing Georgia coach Tom Crean on the broadcast.

Hopkins will join NBA reporters Shams Charania and Chris Mannix, former Atlanta Hawks general manager Wes Wilcox and college basketball reporter Pete Thamel.

This is the third year Yahoo will provide streaming coverage of the NBA draft.

Hopkins, a former Syracuse assistant before joining Washington last year, will have extensive knowledge of Pac-12 and ACC players.
