McKenna discusses the thousands of dollars of equipment shipped to each of the 58 draft prospects who will be on camera, plus the other intricacies of putting the event together at a time of remote working and social distancing. She also talks about what aspects of the telecast may become a feature of future drafts even when they are back to being held in person.
