The NBA Draft is now in the books. Today, we take a look at all 60 selections from the draft and see who is playing where next season.
Draft night was as crazy and exciting as I thought it would be. We saw a blockbuster trade sending Jimmy Butler and pick 16 that turned into Justin Patton to Minnesota. The Bulls got Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, and the number seven pick they converted into Lauri Markkanen in return. To see an All-Star traded on draft night was just the icing on the cake of an exciting evening.
Today, we will take a look at each of the 60 NBA Draft picks and see who is heading to what franchise next season. Without further ado, let us get down to business.
