STILLWATER — Ping pong balls will decide which NBA team gets the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft on Tuesday night, and there is no question to Mike Boynton as to whom the lucky team that gets that pick should select — Cade Cunningham.
The NBA Draft Lottery will take place at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on ESPN. Cunningham spent last season on Boynton’s Oklahoma State squad. Cunningham joined the Cowboys as the No. 1 player in the 2020 recruiting class, so this 2021 NBA Draft has long been thought of as the “Cade Cunningham Draft.”
Other suitors for the pick are Jalen Suggs (Gonzaga), Jalen Green (G League), Evan Mobley (USC) and Jonathan Kuminga (G League).
