Aside from a handful of players expected to be picked near the top of the first round in the 2019 NBA draft — perhaps only Duke’s Zion Williamson and Murray State’s Ja Morant are locked in with the first two spots — it’s difficult to project where most players will wind up Thursday night.
Trying to predict which team will choose former Maryland center Bruno Fernando might be even more difficult, given the 6-foot-10 Angolan has been mentioned as a potential lottery pick (top 14) and a second-round selection.
Yet some teams make more sense than others, based on draft order and need before free agency begins next month.
