The Brooklyn Nets won’t have a lottery pick, but they will have a late first round pick. The Nets are still feeling the effects of the infamous Billy King trade with Danny Ainge and the Boston Celtics that left the organization high and dry for years to come. The 2018 NBA Draft will mark the last year that the Nets will be without their first round pick.
Although they won’t have a coveted lottery pick, they acquired the Toronto Raptors first round pick. It looks like they will have the 28th or possibly the 29th pick in the draft—depending on how the injury-plagued Warriors fare down the stretch.
