There was no pomp and circumstance surrounding Thursday’s draft lottery, nor was there a meaty storyline or conspiracy (at least not yet). But it was the Timberwolves who walked away on top, with the Warriors falling from No. 1 to No. 2 and the Hornets and Bulls beating the odds and moving into the top four.
Unfortunately, it sounds like we may have to wait even longer for the actual draft, which is currently scheduled for October 16. The sense I get, according to league sources, is that there’s a strong possibility the draft is pushed back to November.
