The NBA Draft Lottery takes place tomorrow night, which means we get a last stretch of 24 hours full of speculation over who will win and who needs to draw the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft.
Unlike the NFL, the NBA does not reverse the league standings rather it draws a draft lottery to see which team hits the jackpot. In years past, some of the best players to come into the league have been drafted by teams who won the lottery as LeBron James, Derrick Rose and guys like Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson were all No. 1 picks drafted by teams who won the lottery.
This year the top pick isn’t as distinct as it has been in years past. Usually the draft lottery is a drawing for a player already determined as last year it was known that Anthony Davis would be taken first overall and the lottery was essentially to see who would draft him. This year Nerlens Noel seems to be leading the conversation for the No. 1 overall pick but guys like Trey Burke are giving him a run for his money.
