On May 16th, the NBA Draft Lottery came and went with the Boston Celtics holding on for the first overall pick in the draft. Behind Boston, Magic Johnson represented a Los Angeles Lakers team that will select second where a certain polarizing prospect could be available for them.
The Sixers moved into the third spot after Sacramento jumped up to three only to lose that pick due to a pick swap with Philly.
For the Dallas Mavericks, the odds weren’t great and they delivered exactly what was expected. They will be selecting ninth in the draft come June barring an unexpected trade.
