Overtime Heroics

The NBA season is over, as the Warriors knocked off the Celtics in six games to win their fourth title in six years. It’s officially the off-season. The first order of business is the draft, which will take place in Brooklyn on June 23, which means it’s less than a week away. The Orlando Magic won the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery, landing the top overall pick and their choice of one of the top three prospects in this class. There’s no consensus #1 overall pick, which may put more pressure on Orlando to pick the best of the three guys. The only other team to move up in the lottery was the Sacramento Kings, who landed the 4th overall pick despite holding just a 32% chance to land a top-four pick.
