NBA Draft Lottery Shaping Up
To Be The Biggest In Years It's all about the No. 1 pick. The top four spots will be determined by the lottery for the first time in history. The New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers
and Phoenix Suns all have a 14% chance
at the No. 1 pick. The Chicago Bulls have a 12.5% chance
at winning the lottery, while the
Atlanta Hawks have 10.5% odds. Duke prospect Zion Williamson is widely expected to be the No. 1 pick, while his teammate RJ Barrett and
Murray State guard Ja Morant round
out the top 3 prospects available. Due to the intriguing free agent class of 2019,
which includes Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving,
Kawhi Leonard and Klay Thompson, it is also possible that the teams
who land a top 3 pick
use it as a trade chip. Trading the pick for a star like New Orleans
Anthony Davis could make the team enticing
to a big free agent.
