This is a big deal for New Orleans, which has been rebuilding since trading Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers last summer.

Ja Morant, a 6-foot-3 point guard from Murray State is widely considered to be the best player in the draft. The 19-year-old averaged 24.5 points and 10 assists per game last season.
RJ Barrett to the New York Knicks
The 2019 NBA Draft lottery was held on May 14, 2019, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

And then, in a bit of a surprise, the New Orleans Pelicans won the third overall pick despite having only a six percent chance of doing so.
Darius Garland to the Cleveland Cavaliers
With the fifth overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft the Cleveland Cavaliers have selected Darius Garland out of Vanderbilt University The Cavaliers were actually slotted to pick eighth overall but jumped up three spots in the lottery.
The point guard only played five games in his one and only collegiate season due to a meniscus injury that he suffered in his left knee. That being said, he was very impressive in those five games and scouts believe that he has a very high ceiling. He will join Collin Sexton in the backcourt to form a young and dynamic duo
Coby White to the Chicago Bulls

The Hawks will now have an opportunity to add a young piece to their core of Trae Young John Collins and Kevin Huerter Hunter should be able to come in and contribute right away on both ends of the court for Atlanta.
Cam Reddish to the Phoenix Suns
