NBA Draft Lottery

Here are the best cases for former Auburn forward Jabari Smith in Tuesday's lottery.

Another good scenario for Smith would be if the Magic land the first pick in the lottery and select him to fit right into their young core of players like Cole Anthony, Jalen Suggs, Mo Bamba and others. The odds are tied for the highest for Houston to land the number one pick and I think going to play alongside Jalen Green, Christain Wood, John Wall and more in Houston after being selected first would be the best scenario for Smith. Smith can immediately impact and start for any of those five teams listed with top odds in the lottery.

The Kings' chances at landing the No. 1 overall pick during the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery are slim, but not impossible.

So, [the] best player for us is the guy who’s going to do that regardless of position and different things like that.” "We want a guy who’s going to impact from day one, and hopefully for years and years to come,” McNair told reporters in April. “It’s hard to give a specific answer there. And if that 7.5 percent chance at landing the No. 1 overall pick comes to fruition, Tuesday will certainly be a day to celebrate in the 916. The Kings’ 30-52 record gives them the seventh-best odds at seeing their ping pong ball pulled for the draft’s top pick, or 7.5 percent. McNair has also preached a “best player available” draft strategy, and in the last two drafts, the Kings selected Tyrese Haliburton at No. 12 in 2020 and Davion Mitchell No. 9 overall in 2021. Per Tankathon, the Kings’ are likely to land either the No. 8 pick (34.1 percent) or the No. 7 pick (19.7 percent). When it comes to picks two through four, Sacramento’s lottery odds sit at 7.8, 8.1 and 8.5 percent, respectively, but the team’s overall odds at landing a top-four pick sit at about 32 percent.

The Rockets, Magic and Pistons have the best chance at landing the No. 1 pick on Tuesday night.

Combined, that gives them a 55 percent chance of picking in the top four. - Duke forward Paolo Banchero occupies the No. 3 slot in these rankings. He is regarded as an excellent scoring prospect, but without having seen him play in college, he is undoubtedly a risky selection. A number of prospects are in the running for the top choice. Banchero is slightly more gifted physically, but Smith has thus far been the better shooter of the two. He can get to the basket and collapse defenses, and as such, he's grown into a capable passer who can take advantage of the trouble he causes defenses. - Gonzaga big man Chet Holmgren is ranked No. 2 at the moment. Here is how CBS Sports ranks the top five prospects in the class, keeping in mind that the prospects here, particularly in the top four, are so bunched together that almost every team is going to rate them differently. The process is then repeated three more times to determine who will pick No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4. A total of 14 are placed in a machine, each with a number between one and 14. The NBA recently flattened the lottery odds. Four ping pong balls are drawn, and that creates a four-number combination that belongs to one of the 14 teams in the mix.

After drafting future Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal with the top pick in the 1992 draft, Orlando famously won the 1993 lottery with the lowest odds in history at 1.52%. They’d go on to draft Chris Webber and trade him for future All-Star shooting guard Penny Hardaway. Starting off with an envelope system, the NBA switched to the weighted system with ping pong balls in 1990 to give the worst team the best chance at landing the top overall selection. That was case with the Houston Rockets, who bottomed out in the 1982-83 season and took Ralph Sampson with the top pick in the 1983 draft after winning the coin flip. For example, the Cleveland Cavaliers only have a 0.5% chance at securing the No. 1 overall pick, as they finished with a respectable 44-38 record in the regular season and lost in the play-in tournament. They’d do the same the following year to take Hakeem Olajuwon No. 1 overall in 1984, prompting Commissioner Stern to overhaul the system. For example, the New Orleans Pelicans currently own the what was supposed to be the Los Angeles Lakers’ first-round pick as a result of the Anthony Davis trade.

Quick reminder before the NBA Draft Lottery commences: Several teams will not have a first-round pick. Houston's evaluators have already done some groundwork, but this week's combine will go a long way towards whittling down their Big Board. Expect all sorts of superstitious behavior from Houston today. The shots just didn’t fall this year like they sometimes don’t for teenagers over small samples. It is much more of an eye-of-the-beholder situation, where different evaluators have drastically different takes.

Damian Lillard will be in attendance as the public representative for the franchise, a “good luck” charm. If we get past the 6th position and don’t see Portland’s logo, the Blazers have a Top 4 selection. Wherever the Blazers would appear—most likely 6th, 7th, 8th, depending on the number of teams skipped before them—root for their logo to NOT be revealed. The odds of Portland getting the 7th or 8th spots are the same as the odds for one or two teams behind Portland in the order moving ahead of them, thus bumping them down a slot or two. As the picks are revealed, Blazers fans want to see no changes in the order until Portland’s spot comes. Teams rising from below also guarantee that, if the Blazers don’t get promoted, they’ll be bumped down another spot in the order. At the start, that’ll be the 6th position. If they don’t move up, there will be at least one team remaining with a worse record in front of them for the “rest of” seeding process. This is one of the closer security matters the league deals with. The odds of someone behind Portland moving up are greater than the odds of nobody doing so. After that, the remaining ten teams will be seeded in reverse order of their regular-season records. If Portland moves up, it has to be one of the four positions drawn for.

There are six NBA franchises that have never had the No. 1 pick: Denver, Indiana, Memphis, Miami, Oklahoma City/Seattle and Utah.

(A draft Indiana traded away the No. 2 pick for Tom Owens.) Of those players, 15 were No. 1 picks (19.7%). As you can see, there is a noticeable gap between the top-five picks and the other four, but of course it's not an exact science. But as evidenced by IndyStar research, picking in the top five is still pretty good. - No. 2 — All-NBA: 15.

Though they enjoyed a one-year absence from the event last season, the Knicks have been all-too-frequent visitors to the lottery dais. This does, however, mean that the Knicks have still not moved up a draft lottery since the inaugural edition in 1985 when they won the Patrick Ewing sweepstakes amongst and evenly matched eight teams. The Knicks (37-45), the first team out of the Eastern Conference postseason proceedings after missing the Play-In Tournament by six games, had a two percent (11th best amongst Tuesday's participants) chance at landing the top choice, eventually won by the Orlando Magic.

The Magic will get the top pick in next month's NBA Draft after winning Tuesday's NBA Draft Lottery.

Oklahoma City Thunder Here are the 2022 NBA draft lottery results: While many are often worried about Holmgren’s frame, the 7-footer has the ability to protect the basket, handle the ball, make plays and space the floor, which has many teams excited about his future in the league. The Magic landed the top pick in the 2022 NBA draft Tuesday night after winning the league’s annual draft lottery. The 19-year-old scores efficiently, carries the ability to defend and switch on opposing defenders as well as strong instincts, which should bode him well at the next level.

The Celtics won't have a first-round pick this season after dealing away their selection to the San Antonio Spurs as part of the trade to acquire Derrick White.

The Blazers fell in the lottery, only adding to the uncertainty of Lillard's future with the franchise.

There are plenty of contenders (and the superstars who play for them) who would happily trade for Lillard, and the Blazers will likely fetch a better haul if they don't wait until a trade demand crushes any leverage they might have. First, a late-season surge by the Pelicans -- ironically thanks in large part to McCollum -- caused the Blazers to lose out on New Orleans' 2022 first-round pick, which was considered to be a key piece of the trade. Not only did the Blazers fail to jump into the top four -- they actually dropped a spot. When the time for the seventh selection came, however, NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum uttered the dreadful words that Lillard and the city of Portland didn't want to hear. Boasting a lineup chocked full of fringe NBA players and G Leaguers, Portland went just 2-21 after the All-Star break -- yes, they won TWO games in almost two months -- in an effort to land a lofty draft pick to use on a promising prospect or to sweeten a potential deal for win-now help. The fact that Damian Lillard showed up as the Portland Trail Blazers' representative at Tuesday night's NBA Draft Lottery in Chicago tells you just how important this night was for the franchise.

The Magic will get the top pick in next month's NBA Draft after winning Tuesday's NBA Draft Lottery.

For nearly four decades the lottery has been a big night on the NBA calendar. Here is how it all went down last night.

To preserve the integrity of the broadcast, no one is allowed to leave the room. It has been 16 years since the Kings last playoff experience—most of the players in this year’s draft are too young to remember it—which happened to be the last season Sacramento finished above .500. There are some solid pieces in Sacto. De’Aaron Fox still has All-Star potential and Domantas Sabonis was acquired last season to provide some muscle alongside him. For one night, a dozen non-playoff teams (sorry Lakers, Clippers) have hope for the future. Presti’s last trip to the drawing room was in 2009, when the Thunder jumped up one spot, positioning the team to draft a dynamic guard from Arizona State named James Harden. This time around, Oklahoma City jumped from fourth to second, guaranteeing the Thunder, which added Josh Giddey to a growing young core last season, another blue chip prospect. But the Kings need a star and GM Monte McNair, who is in the final year of his contract, may not get a better chance to nab one. And Houston still has to figure out what to do with John Wall. Rockets GM Rafael Stone hinted that the team would entertain offers for the pick—one exec said he sees the draft as eight-deep, with no clear No. 1—but if not it will be critical to add the right piece to this mix. In the hours before the lottery the Rockets canned several members of Stephen Silas’s coaching staff (Silas was on board with the decision, a source told SI). Jalen Green, the second overall pick last season, proved he could score, but needs polish. It has evolved since then, from envelopes to ping pong balls, weighted odds to flatter ones, but for nearly four decades the lottery has been a big night on the NBA calendar. The last, he recalled, was in 2017, when the Magic came away with the sixth pick, which they used on Jonathan Isaac. From a backpack Glass pulled out ping pong balls from Orlando’s most successful lottery trips: 1992, when the Magic won the right to draft Shaquille O’Neal, ’93 when Orlando, picking first again, swapped Chris Webber for Anfernee Hardaway, and ’04, when lottery luck allowed them to draft Dwight Howard. As Glass, eager for another souvenir, eyeballed the ping pong balls in the case, Sheppard wrapped an arm around him. This wasn’t Glass’s first time in the drawing room. The NBA draft lottery has been around since 1985, back when David Stern, annoyed at a handful of teams openly losing to secure a better place in the draft order, pushed through a new system. It's just after 5:30 CT when the doors to the drawing room, located this year inside the McCormack Place Convention Center are flung open.

Orlando won the No. 1 pick but wasn't the only winner of the NBA draft lottery. Who else saw their prospects boosted by a favorable draw?

A year after slipping two spots in the lottery, Oklahoma City rose two spots and nabbed the No. 2 pick to go with No. 12. All the teams in the top five — yes, even the Kings — have promising young players and reasons for optimism. The Pelicans were the beneficiaries of the Lakers' misfortunes this season and landed a surprise top-10 pick that more than makes up for not having their own 2022 first-round selection. Adding a top prospect from this class next to De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis could go a long way to helping the Kings snap a 16-year playoff drought that is the longest in NBA history. They should still draft a quality player, but they may miss out on the top big men who could pair nicely next to point guard Cade Cunningham, last year's No. 1 overall pick. Things are starting to look up for the Magic, who had a 14% chance of winning the top pick, after going 43-111 the past two seasons.
