Share

While the Warriors, Trail Blazers, Bucks and Raptors get set for the conference finals, the teams that didn't make the postseason are getting ready for the NBA draft lottery, which takes place on Tuesday night prior to Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

The prize waiting for the team that lands the No. 1 overall pick is Duke sensation Zion Williamson, the consensus top player in this draft.

As for the Kings, their name will be called Tuesday, but their pick will go to either Boston or Philadelphia, depending on where the pick lands.

As James Ham writes, if the Kings somehow land the No. 1 overall selection, it goes to the 76ers. If they get the No. 2 through No. 14 pick, the Celtics take the selection.
