As the college basketball season ended with the Villanova Wildcats taking home the crown as national champions, the NBA draft is next. The NBA draft lottery is on May 17 and the lottery odds are set for every team that holds a lottery pick. Players in the college game are declaring for the draft or deciding to stay in school. Grayson Allen and Thomas Bryant are the two big names that have decided to come back to school for another year and polish up their game. With most of the names set for the draft and a good idea of the draft order we can look what the teams in the lottery will most likely do in the draft. Today I will look at the top 5 picks in this years draft.
Philadelphia is most likely to get the first pick and that pick will almost certainly be Ben Simmons.
LA Lakers is another almost easy pick with the second pick and will take Brandon Ingram.
The first and second pick will 99% be the combo of Simmons and Ingram in any order.
Celtics have the most likelihood of the third pick and I believe Jamal Murray or Kris Dunn may be that pick.
Phoenix is looking at the number four pick and with that they may go big man in Dragan Bender or Henry Ellenson.
Minnesota is looking to be the fifth big and I believe that they need a big man to pair with Karl Anothy Towns and I believe that will be Ellenson or Jacob Poetl from Utah.
