The two worst teams in the NBA won games this week as both the Suns and Knicks were victors. With the new NBA lottery rules, getting the worst record in the league is not the be-all and end-all anymore. So you do want to have some good karma going into this thing in May.
The lottery will shake up all of this below, as will the NCAA tournament which weeds out many players both for the good and bad. In our latest mock draft we like the Bulls surprising with the drafting of Keldon Johnson as the No. 4 spot and the Lakers picking up Indiana shooting guard Romeo Langford. Also, the Wizards could tab a somewhat local prospect in Virginia’s DeAndre Hunter.
