The NBA draft lottery will, in part, determine which players are picked by which teams, because every franchise has different needs. But a consensus is forming regarding which two players will hear their names called first. Both are freshmen. Both are point guards. On Saturday night, they will share the court at Hec Edmundson Pavilion before what is expected to be the Washington Huskies’ first sellout of the season.
DraftExpress projects the Boston Celtics will select UW guard Markelle Fultz with the No. 1 overall pick, and that Phoenix will follow by picking UCLA guard Lonzo Ball. NBADraft.
