Minnesota Timberwolves win the NBA Draft Lottery but Byron Scott wins the night

In the biggest upset of the night, Byron Scott walked out of the NBA Draft Lottery as the ultimate winner despite the fact that the Minnesota Timberwolves won the number one pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.

Minnesota will now possibly have the last three number one picks on their roster at the start of play next season as either Karl Towns or Jahlil Okafor will join Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett in the Wolves front court.

The real big winner on the night though was Byron Scott who in a season full of being annoying and getting picked on provided this wink when he realized the Lakers were going to be in the top three.

Scott ended up with another big smile on his face after it was announced that the Lakers landed at number two in the draft meaning they will get one of the two big men that had been at the top of the draft board for months now.

Then there were the Knicks who came into the game with the second best chance for the number one pick and instead fell out of the top three. Which led to this:
