    * Owed picks:




    Are there any changes to the format this year?

    Yes. In an attempt to discourage teams from tanking, the league implemented a new set of lottery odds. Previously, the team with the worst record had a 25 percent chance at getting the top pick. Now, the teams with the three worst records all have an equal 14 percent chance at the top pick. Likewise, the odds were smoothed across the board, giving teams in the middle of the lottery a better chance at moving up into the top-four slots.

    Additionally, the team with the worst record used to be guaranteed to receive no worse than the fourth pick. That was because the first three picks were the only ones determined by the lottery. After those picks, the remaining teams were ordered in the inverse of their regular season records. Now, the first four picks will be decided by the lottery draw. Thus, the team with the worst record will receive no worse than the fifth pick.


    Who are the top prospects?

    There's no question that the best prospect heading into the draft is Duke forward Zion Williamson. The 18-year-old was a viral sensation in his high school days, and became the best player in college basketball in his freshman season. Regardless of which team wins the No. 1 pick, he's expected to be the first player selected.
    Beyond that, however, there are plenty of questions. Here are the top five players off the board in the most recent mock draft from CBS Sports' Kyle Boone:

    1. Zion Williamson -- F, Duke
    2. RJ Barrett -- F, Duke
    3. Ja Morant -- G, Murray State
    4. Coby White -- G, North Carolina
    5. De'Andre Hunter -- F, Virginia

    Can you imagine the outcry if the Lakers landed the 1st overall pick?

    Who would believe that it wasn't fixed??

    I'd lean KNicks or Bulls, I can't see Zion going to a small market.

    The problem is Cleveland can't attract free agents like Chicago and New York, I think the NBA knows if Zion goes to Cleveland the team still won't be very good and it will be hard to showcase him.

    Would love to see the Timberwolves but NY would be the best team to land the #1 pick for the NBA.

    it's funny how Knicks have the lowest odds of getting th #1 pick.

    in reality it should be tied Knicks/Cavs/Suns for lowest odds, but the public is probably betting knicks more than any other team

    or you could bet any other team besides the knicks and get the best odds on the board there

    Probably because if there's anything that might truly be fixed in professional sports, it's the NBA Lottery.

    If they had nothing to hide, they would do the actual drawing live, simple as that.

    I think fans feel the league will address the city of New York this time around.

    Who has Chicago attracted as a FA? No one good since Rodman.

    Knicks will get it.

    Kyrie, Zion, Durant will be the new glamour team of the NBA next season.

    honestly you don't need to fix the lottery anymore. tv contracts thru the roof with knicks, lakers, and bulls completely sucking. its way more about the stars than the locale.

    PHX will be well on their way as the next dynasty in the league if they land Zion. I’m not saying that to be dramatic & bold. I actually believe this.

    Dbook superstar
    Ayton superstar
    Zion superstar(potentially)

    Bridges, Jackson, Oubre, TJ Warren solid role players

    They’ll be filthy on the defensive side of the ball too

    If the Suns win the lottery they might try to trade the pick for Anthony Davis also
