The lottery balls fell pretty much where they were supposed to — the only team that got screwed was the Knicks, and that’s fine — and Chad Ford has the draft shaking out as it does above.

As for those picks that didn’t convey this year? The Lakers pick is top-3 protected next year, the Heat is top-10 protected again, and the Thunder’s pick is top-15 protected. So, #OneFourElevenSixteen is a real possibility next year.
We’ll have much more in the coming weeks.
