Who’s going No. 1?
Zion Williamson. The Duke star has been the unanimous No. 1 pick after a standout freshman season in which he averaged 22.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.8 blocks per game. The New Orleans Pelicans, who just traded superstar Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers for a package that includes the No. 4 overall pick in this year’s draft, won the draft lottery last month to secure the top overall pick.
Where will Maryland star Bruno Fernando land?
It’s unclear. The former Terps center has been projected to land anywhere from the middle of the first round to the early in the second, with teams such as the San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards potentially in range to take him.
