When is the NBA draft?
The NBA draft is an annual event in which the 30 teams in the National Basketball Association (NBA) select new players for their rosters. The draft lottery took place on May 14, 2019. The draft will be held on June 20, 2019, at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
The order of selection for the first round of the draft is determined by a lottery system. The lottery is currently used to determine the top three picks in the draft; those picks are given to teams with the three worst records in the previous season. For 2019, the New Orleans Pelicans, Memphis Grizzlies, and New York Knicks all had equal chances (14 percent) of obtaining the #1 overall pick.
The team who did not win any of those top three selections will receive the fourth overall pick. From there, it reverts back to a standard NBA draft order for subsequent rounds.
In addition to recruiting new talent, trades are often executed during or leading up to the draft. These trades can involve players, future draft picks, or both.

The New Orleans Pelicans have the No. 1 overall pick for the second time in franchise history, as they did in 2012 when they selected Anthony Davis. The Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks round out the top three.

Who are the top prospects?
There is a lot of talent in the 2019 NBA Draft class, with some players having the potential to be franchise cornerstones for years to come.

RJ Barrett, Darius Garland, and Coby White are all point guards who could potentially go in the top five of the draft, while De’Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish, and Nassir Little are all wings who could also find themselves going in that range.
Center Bol Bol is one of the more intriguing prospects in the draft due to his unique skill set, but his injuries will likely cause him to slip out of the lottery.
