Some years, the NBA Draft is shrouded in mystery. Occasionally, the first pick isn't a guarantee. Sometimes the number-one is locked in for months, but then nobody knows what to expect.
This year, it's a little of both. Duke star Zion Williamson is all but a lock to be the first overall pick for the New Orleans Pelicans. FanDuel Sportsbook has Williamson at -8000 to be the first name called. That's about a 99% probability.
After Zion, it's not like we're looking at a complete tossup. Consensus mock drafts and the betting market point strongly to Ja Morant of Murray State going second overall to Memphis (-2500 on FanDuel Sportsbook, 96.
