The draft is finally here! Congratulations to the Cleveland Cavs and their fans. The NBA felt so bad for LeBron leaving to take his talents to South Beach that the NBA decided to award number one pick for the 3rd time since that moment. You have the number one pick!! Maybe the rules should be changed, so that the same team can’t keep winning the draft lottery. I’m sure a fan of the Timberwolves or the Kings would agree. They’ve never won the lottery, even though it seems like they’ve had losing seasons for the past century. But with Joel Embiid’s foot injury, it will be interesting to see what the Cavs decide to do with the 1st pick.
This draft in particular is exciting because it is considered the best draft since 2003, a draft that included LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony.

Don’t believe me? Well take a look at some these draft choices in Knicks history. If you’re a Knicks fan reading this, don’t cry. Just remember, we have Phil Jackson managing basketball operations for the first time in his career and a rookie head coach in Derek Fisher, so everything is going to be okay.
