As all "Peepers" are on Duke Freshman Phenom Zion Williamson the NBA Draft Lottery has already passed all expectations as it will air tonight on ESPN at 8:30pm ET. Yes Zion has teams drooling but those other two dudes in Point God Ja Morant (Murray State Racers) and Zion's Duke Teammate and Mr. Canada R.J. Barrett have some serious suitors as well as its more about the "Fit" then the "Hype" as I think both will be better NBA Players than Zion and that is the Bluedude wanting all the smoke!As for New York, Cleveland and Phoenix having the highest odds for grabbing #1 overall I really think the #2 slot is the best slot to be in. Chicago and Atlanta could both slip into the Top 3 and both teams are a step ahead of the other three as far as talent but then there is the endless scenarios for Draft Day Trades as well.
Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Jimmy Butler and Kemba Walker heads the list of 2k19 Free Agents and the Knicks wanting at least two maybe three of these players might be in business if they get #1 overall to create even more cap space.
After Zion, Ja and R.J. the draft drops off from those three impact Day 1 starters to players that might be able to start or get major minutes in that Top 15. As for the odds here they are with a wish and a hope to get inside that Top 3...

360 Degrees
The Knicks have Patrick Ewing as its good luck charm and the lest time the Knicks needed the Draft Lottery's biggest name and player was 1985 and they landed Ewing which almost tells me the Knicks will get #1 and you have to see that...
Cavs will not get into Top 3 as the Cleveland when they lost LeBron had three straight #1 picks (Kyrie, Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins) and remember when LeBron left the Plantation @CavsDan was going to sale the Cavs unless...
Suns need pick #2 so they can get what they want in Ja Morant to go with Devin Booker as you see what Dame and CJ are doing for #RipCity...its a Guard-driven Game and nothing else and with new lead man Monty Williams in the fold the only problem is Mr. Sarver and he is cutting the checks!
Bulls need pick #3 and a chance at R.J. Barrett as the Bulls love Duke Players but this guy to me is like Grant Hill kinda sorta he is real special...
Hawks with Trae Young and John Collins need to get into the Top 3 as they need Barrett or Zion not Ja...and Atlanta knows this big time!
After those five teams its any ones ball game and you need to watch closely which one of those teams in the Top 5 land outside that top 5...that's when the 2k19 NBA Draft Lottery begins!
