Every team wanted that coveted No. 1 overall pick to select Duke's Zion Williamson, who is getting hyped up to possibly be the next LeBron James, and the New Orleans Pelicans managed to get it with six percent odds. Murray State point guard Ja Morant is the other player who is garnering a lot of attention for this draft after averaging 24.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 10.0 assists per game this season. He made headlines for his performance in the NCAA Tournament, leading the Racers to an upset first-round win over the Marquette Golden Eagles while averaging 22.5 points, eight rebounds, and 10 assists in Murray State's two games.
The Knicks, Cavs, and Suns all had a 14 percent chance to get the No. 1 overall pick. New York finished with the worst record in the NBA this season and the fans in The Big Apple hoped this putrid campaign would net them Zion. But, because of new changes to the lottery's format, they had the same odds for the top selection as Cleveland and Phoenix.
