The NBA Draft Lottery is tonight, and with it comes the much-anticipated answer to who will get to employ Zion Williamson. Duke teammate RJ Barrett and Murray State's Ja Morant are expected to round out the Top 3. After that is when it gets weird. Virginia's DeAndre Hunter, Texas Tech's Jarrett Culver, and UNC's Colby White and Nassir Little are all pegged to go somewhere after that. Darius Garland, Cam Reddish, and Bol Bol are a few other names to keep an eye on.
