New Orleans Pelicans win No 1 overall pick in NBA draft lottery
- Pelicans buck odds to win No 1 overall pick in June’s NBA draft
- Grizzlies, Knicks and Lakers to pick second, third and fourth
New Orleans have bucked the odds and won the NBA draft lottery, and now will have the first chance at choosing Zion Williamson next month.
The Pelicans won the lottery for the first time since 2012, when they selected Anthony Davis. And the lottery win comes after a season when Davis wanted a trade – something that might not seem so appealing to him now, not with Williamson likely coming to New Orleans.
