Lack of Mental Toughness: Philadelphia 76ers veterans Tobias Harris and Danny Green believed that Philadelphia’s playoff struggles in the second round could be attributed to a lack of mental toughness and maturity on the team. But the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery is still a key event to pay attention to as it marks the true beginning of the 2022 offseason. Not too long ago, the draft lottery was must-see TV for Philadelphia 76ers fans. Shortly before the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat begin Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, a handful of teams will participate in the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery.

The Magic will get the top pick in next month's NBA Draft after winning Tuesday's NBA Draft Lottery.

Only the Cavaliers have had the first pick more often in the lottery era. "I feel like I'm the No. 1 pick in the draft because I feel like I'm the best overall player. "The fans. "[The No. 6 pick] will be the highest the Pacers have selected in over three decades, since Indiana drafted Rik Smits second overall in 1988." They made a clear push to change that last season by trading Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield to the Indiana Pacers for Domantas Sabonis. It didn't work last season, but adding another top-four pick might help them finally get back to the playoffs in the future. Most notably, the Sacramento Kings, who had the seventh-worst record in the league last season, jumped up to the No. 4 overall pick. Add in the likes of Markelle Fultz, Wendell Carter Jr., Jonathan Isaac (if he ever plays basketball again), Cole Anthony, Chuma Okeke and RJ Hampton, plus whoever they take at No. 1 this year, and that's a lot of young talent. They had two lottery picks last season in Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner, the latter of which is almost certainly going to be on the All-Rookie Team. "There's so much to look forward to. While that's not an ideal way to spend seven-plus months, all of the losing paid off as they won the No. 1 overall pick on Tuesday night. There is no clear-cut No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, and the various candidates comprise a wide range of positions and skills. The Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and Detroit Pistons round out the top five.

The Rockets, Magic and Pistons enter the NBA Draft Lottery with the highest odds to land the No. 1 overall pick.

This will be just the fifth time the Kings have drafted in the top four in the past 40 seasons, and the first time since selecting Marvin Bagley III in the 2018 draft. Drafting at No. 3 will be the Rockets, who had the No. 2 pick in last year's draft. The San Antonio Spurs, slotted at No. 9, could have their first top-10 selection since selecting Tim Duncan. New Orleans is the only 2022 playoff team currently with a lottery pick. We're just really excited to be able to fall in love with somebody and pick that player." "We look to add a really talented, young, high-character guy to our talent base and our roster. Both Durant and Payton were selected at No. 2 overall. "And generally leverage will kind of unfold from there, but I know we'll have a lot of interesting discussions with teams. "The fans, the organization, it's so exciting," Mosley told ESPN's Mike Schmitz on the draft lottery broadcast. "I do feel that as [these top prospects] start to make the rounds, teams will start to fall in love with guys, which is what generally happens," Weltman said. This really doesn't change much of the way that we'll approach the draft. "I haven't been very good at this," Weltman told reporters via videoconference.

Orlando landed the first pick, while the Thunder, Rockets and Kings also grabbed top-four spots.

Scottie Barnes actually did help lead the Toronto Raptors back to the playoffs after the Raptors jumped into the top four last summer, and he narrowly edged Mobley out for Rookie of the Year in the process. Cleveland jumped up to No. 3 last season, and with Evan Mobley at power forward, the Cavs nearly made it back to the first round of the playoffs for the first time since LeBron James left. Joining the in the top four are the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings in that order. The only guard widely believed to be in the running for the top selection is Purdue point guard Jaden Ivey, an elite athlete who impressed on college basketball's biggest stage in March. While this class lacks the surefire No. 1 pick last year's gave us in Oklahoma State point guard Cade Cunningham, there are a number of prospects who can make a case for the top selection. The Orlando Magic have won the 2022 lottery and will pick first in June's NBA Draft. Orlando had the Eastern Conference's worst record in the 2021-22 season with a 22-60 mark.

The Blazers fell in the lottery, only adding to the uncertainty of Lillard's future with the franchise.

There are plenty of contenders (and the superstars who play for them) who would happily trade for Lillard, and the Blazers will likely fetch a better haul if they don't wait until a trade demand crushes any leverage they might have. First, a late-season surge by the Pelicans -- ironically thanks in large part to McCollum -- caused the Blazers to lose out on New Orleans' 2022 first-round pick, which was considered to be a key piece of the trade. Not only did the Blazers fail to jump into the top four -- they actually dropped a spot. When the time for the seventh selection came, however, NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum uttered the dreadful words that Lillard and the city of Portland didn't want to hear. Boasting a lineup chocked full of fringe NBA players and G Leaguers, Portland went just 2-21 after the All-Star break -- yes, they won TWO games in almost two months -- in an effort to land a lofty draft pick to use on a promising prospect or to sweeten a potential deal for win-now help. The fact that Damian Lillard showed up as the Portland Trail Blazers' representative at Tuesday night's NBA Draft Lottery in Chicago tells you just how important this night was for the franchise.

'Pivotal moment' for Giddey's Thunder; 'wasted' year of tanking: NBA Lottery winners and losers.

As the cameras panned to Sabonis – his smile said it all. After a season of tanking that many are now describing as “wasted,” the Detroit Pistons were left devastated after falling into the fifth spot of the NBA draft lottery. After receiving the good fortunes of a number one pick last season, it was Detroit who would now have to suffer, falling back to fifth overall on the draft lottery shortlist. Oklahoma City were touted to receive the 4th and 12th as their major pick slots entering the lottery, but will now benefit from a piece of the big three with the 2nd overall pick. A franchise with a great track record as overall number one pick winners, Orlando rejoiced at their lottery jackpot – as fans reminisced about the glory days of selecting NBA legends Shaquille O’Neale (1992) and Dwight Howard (2004) in the number one slot. However, after a season of tanking that many are now describing as “wasted,” the Detroit Pistons were left devastated after falling into the fifth spot.

We have officially entered NBA Draft season.The NBA Draft Combine is underway in Chicago, and tonight, we'll find out the order for next month's NBA Draft ...

But Detroit still has other business to handle at this week’s combine. •7h ago •7h ago The way the lottery shakes out will have the biggest influence on who goes No. 1. •7h ago He moves naturally and mechanically like an NBA wing and elevates over the top for shots. Quick reminder before the NBA Draft Lottery commences: Several teams will not have a first-round pick. Houston's evaluators have already done some groundwork, but this week's combine will go a long way towards whittling down their Big Board. Expect all sorts of superstitious behavior from Houston today. The shots just didn’t fall this year like they sometimes don’t for teenagers over small samples. It is much more of an eye-of-the-beholder situation, where different evaluators have drastically different takes. Toronto used that pick to select Florida State's Scottie Barnes, who would go on to win Rookie of the Year.

For nearly four decades the lottery has been a big night on the NBA calendar. Here is how it all went down last night.

To preserve the integrity of the broadcast, no one is allowed to leave the room. It has been 16 years since the Kings last playoff experience—most of the players in this year’s draft are too young to remember it—which happened to be the last season Sacramento finished above .500. There are some solid pieces in Sacto. De’Aaron Fox still has All-Star potential and Domantas Sabonis was acquired last season to provide some muscle alongside him. For one night, a dozen non-playoff teams (sorry Lakers, Clippers) have hope for the future. Presti’s last trip to the drawing room was in 2009, when the Thunder jumped up one spot, positioning the team to draft a dynamic guard from Arizona State named James Harden. This time around, Oklahoma City jumped from fourth to second, guaranteeing the Thunder, which added Josh Giddey to a growing young core last season, another blue chip prospect. But the Kings need a star and GM Monte McNair, who is in the final year of his contract, may not get a better chance to nab one. And Houston still has to figure out what to do with John Wall. Rockets GM Rafael Stone hinted that the team would entertain offers for the pick—one exec said he sees the draft as eight-deep, with no clear No. 1—but if not it will be critical to add the right piece to this mix. In the hours before the lottery the Rockets canned several members of Stephen Silas’s coaching staff (Silas was on board with the decision, a source told SI). Jalen Green, the second overall pick last season, proved he could score, but needs polish. It has evolved since then, from envelopes to ping pong balls, weighted odds to flatter ones, but for nearly four decades the lottery has been a big night on the NBA calendar. The last, he recalled, was in 2017, when the Magic came away with the sixth pick, which they used on Jonathan Isaac. From a backpack Glass pulled out ping pong balls from Orlando’s most successful lottery trips: 1992, when the Magic won the right to draft Shaquille O’Neal, ’93 when Orlando, picking first again, swapped Chris Webber for Anfernee Hardaway, and ’04, when lottery luck allowed them to draft Dwight Howard. As Glass, eager for another souvenir, eyeballed the ping pong balls in the case, Sheppard wrapped an arm around him. This wasn’t Glass’s first time in the drawing room. The NBA draft lottery has been around since 1985, back when David Stern, annoyed at a handful of teams openly losing to secure a better place in the draft order, pushed through a new system. It's just after 5:30 CT when the doors to the drawing room, located this year inside the McCormack Place Convention Center are flung open.

In the first post-Lottery update there doesn't seem to be much consensus, with Jabari Smith and Chet Holmgren as top options at No. 1.

The 6-foot-8 forward out of Iowa appears as high as No. 4 (ESPN/Net Scouts), but no lower than No. 8 (SB Nation). His most likely landing spots are the Pistons at No. 5 or Pacers at No. 6. Position: G/F Athletic wing who can make a difference on both ends, with finishes around the rim and a reliable jump shot. For example, Jabari Smith is projected to go 1st in seven of the 12 mock drafts listed below. The player with the highest point total represents the top overall selection, which is as follows: - Unlike previous seasons, there’s not a single player in our lottery that is coming straight from international play. Ivey is an athletic point guard and the Pistons would be thrilled if he slips to them at No. 5. It’s possible teams are waiting to see more on the talented shooter. There isn’t a consensus No. 1 pick like there’s been in past years (every mock had Cade Cunningham going first last season) and up and down the lottery there is much variation. We bring them together to provide a solid estimate of how the Draft could play out (Last update: May 19, 3:04 a.m. ET): The pick here would likely be Jaden Ivey if he’s available, but the Kings are pretty set in their backcourt with DeAaron Fox and Davion Mitchell, whom they took last season with the No. 9 pick. - In our first look at the best mock drafts around the internet, the theme seems to be uncertainty.
