Are they seriously not making the draft lottery accessible for people to watch in the US? Seriously

Top 4 is Houston, San Antonio, Portland and Charlotte. Hopefully not in that order!

Congratulations to the Spurs. Its been like five years since they were a dominant franchise that won nonstop for like 20 years. I can't imagine the pain their fanbase must have felt not being good for five minutes.

That said, bring on the Scooter!

AGAIN!!! Second pick curse to a likely superstar.

Still love that we have pick 2. Will get a very good player.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Not the worst outcome obviously, but unfortunate nonetheless. San Antonio winning the lotto is fresh grist for the conspiracy theorists.

We've got a shot to get a great player at 2.
