Cade Cunningham is the odds-on favourite to go number 1 as the Detroit Pistons have the sights set on turning their franchise’s fortunes around.
The Rockets at No. 2 are said to have a preference for Jalen Green but if they don’t go that route they will certainly have their hands full of options.
Then we could see a bit of a shakeup as players can fall or teams can try and trade up. We already saw one big trade go down between the Thunder and the Grizzlies. That could be a sign of things to come.
The shakeup could come as early as pick No. 3 as the Cavaliers could pass up on Evan Mobley and go after a guard if they do decide to move on from Colin Sexton.
That would open things up for the rest of the lottery picks.
Here are the picks:
- Take Jalen Suggs to go third overall +300
- Take Evan Mobley to go fourth overall +200
- Take Jonathan Kuminga to go fifth overall +155
