NBA Draft Lottery: Suns Emerge with Top Pick
The Phoenix Suns won the draft lottery tonight and will pick first in next month’s NBA draft. The Sacramento Kings jumped to the second spot after years of lottery frustration, and the Atlanta Hawks will draft third. The Seventy-Sixers keep the Lakers pick which slotted in at 10th, and the Cavs get the Nets pick at 8th. It was a little odd being on the sidelines for this one, as for the first time in a while, the Wolves were not in the lottery, but a good kind of odd.
