With a new system implemented at the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery, there were numerous surprises, highlighted by the Los Angeles Lakers moving up seven spots and landing the No. 4 pick.
As the New York Knicks dropped two spots with the No. 3 pick, the New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies both moved up six spots as they landed the No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively.
While the Pelicans will select Zion Williamson, it is widely expected Ja Morant and RJ Barrett will not be available when the Lakers are officially on the clock.
