New Orleans Pelicans win NBA draft lottery, golden chance to draft Zion Williamson Globe_Sports

The Associated Press

The draw gives the Pelicans – who had only a 6-per-cent chance of winning – the inside track to select Duke freshman forward Zion Williamson at No. 1. The franchise had the top pick in 2012, when it selected Anthony Davis, who last season requested a trade. Under rewritten lottery rules designed to prevent tanking, the Knicks, Cavaliers and Suns held equal 14-per-cent odds to select No. 1 by virtue of having the three worst regular-season records. Bygone lottery guidelines would have granted New York a 25-per-cent chance as a result of an NBA-worst 17-65 record in 2018-19.

The Chicago Bulls will pick seventh, followed in order by the Atlanta Hawks, the Washington Wizards, Atlanta, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Charlotte Hornets, the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics.
