We have a winner!
After months of teams eyeing up the chance to take Zion Williamson with the top pick in the 2019 NBA draft, it’s the New Orleans Pelicans that have the chance to select him on June 20.
The Duke wunderkind has long been tabbed as the top prospect, a sentiment only reinforced by his freshman season at Duke.
The Memphis Grizzlies took home the second pick, while the New York Knicks, who finished with a league-worst record and a 14% shot at the top pick, fell to No. 3. Rounding out the top five teams in the order are the Los Angeles Lakers at four and the Cleveland Cavaliers at five.
