NBA Draft 2016 live results: Complete selections and trades
By Josh Hill
The NBA Draft has ushered in the next generation of NBA stars, but who was drafted where?
The Cleveland Cavaliers have had their championship parade and the Warriors are back home in Golden State licking their wounds. But the other 28 NBA teams have been focused in on the NBA Draft these past few weeks and now all of that homework is either going to pay off or the lack of study is about to show.
Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram made up the first two picks but beyond that we saw a plethora of interesting things happen and moves made. The Hawks dealt the 12th overall pick before the draft even started and the Bulls dumped Derrick Rose to the Knicks on Wednesday afternoon which helped them make their draft night decisions.
Here’s a look at everything that happened at the NBA Draft this year, from selections to trades and everything in-between.
