NBA DRAFT LOTTERY KNEE JERK REACTION
So the ping pongs balls did their thing, and we now know where Zion Williamson will be calling home in the near future. I have no doubt the city of New Orleans is partying like its Mardi Gras part deux right now. The franchise can now reasonably show Anthony Davis a reason not to leave. If they can retain Davis, Julius Randle, AND add Zion Williamson, that forms a very, very dynamic front court.
That being said, we’ve got some posts being worked on, division by division review of the NFL, NBA final 4 thoughts, the meltdown of the Celtics, and more but with the lottery results dropping tonight, an immediate, knee jerk reaction NBA 1st round mock draft was absolutely needed.
