The NBA lottery draw ceremony will begin at 7 a.m. today. This annual event is attracting attention from the entire league, and the offseason operation of most teams will also be fully launched.

At this year's draft, Cooper Flag was the hottest draft No. 1 pick this season. Many media once compared him with Davis. The dominance he showed throughout the entire process from preseason training camp to March Crazy has made him an undisputed No. 1 pick.

There have been discussions of the most tempting rookies before, among which Wenban Yama is the best. Looking back at the history of NBA draft in recent years, such as Ban Kairo, Cunningham, Edwards, etc., have become the first picks without any suspense.

At present, Flag has shown his immediate combat strength to his future clubs. Flag has shown his maturity beyond his age, unlike his peers' thinking style, and his presence on both ends of offense and defense on the court is full of attention and desire to win.

At present, the top three with draw advantages are the Jazz, Wizards, and Bulls, with the probability of the No. 1 pick being 14%, and the Pelicans, where Zion is located, is the Pelicans. According to statistics from the well-known draft website Tankathon, the Pelicans have the fourth best lottery chance of lottery and have a 12.5% ​​chance of the No. 1 pick being 12.5% ​​(Frager is a junior at Zion Duke University). The Jazz, who ranked first, had an absolute advantage in choosing Flag. Throughout history, Salt Lake City has always struggled to attract superstar free agents, which forced management to make a difference in the trading market and in the draft, especially in the draft. The Jazz currently reserves a large number of future draft picks, including first-round picks (expected first-round picks and 21-round picks) and second-round picks, and will also receive multiple first-round picks from the Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Lakers and Suns by 2031. )

Harper, who is second in the draft, is the Wizards' long-term need for offensive core. His breakthrough ability to tear the defense can create more opportunities for his teammates. Harper has shown the dual talent of the organizer and the scorer, with both finishing ability and passing vision, which is enough to bear a lot of ball rights. At the same time, Harper will also become the ideal pick-and-roll partner for the all-match threat point Sal, and his size advantage also allows him to coexist with potential defender Carrington. Of course, this does not prevent the Wizards from wanting Flagg. The lottery night of the lottery is destined to be exciting, and the fate of at least 13 NBA teams will undergo a major turning point with the drawn table tennis combination.
