The NBA Draft is closing in fast, and teams are scrambling to figure out every possible scenario, every possible pick they could make. Similarly, the sports writers of the world are trying to determine which players will be selected when. In the NBA, getting the right player can change the course of your franchise for the next 15 years. Needless to say, it’s a big deal.
