The 2018 NBA Draft is just over a month away, but the lottery took place on May 15.  Today, we take a look at the draft order after the lottery.

The 2018 NBA Draft takes place on June 21.  The Sacramento Kings had some fortunate luck in the draft lottery.  They moved up from seventh to second overall.  The Kings will add a player with face of the franchise talent in June.  GM Vlade Divac and his staff need to make the right selection so the team can head towards contention next season.

With the draft lottery in the books, lets us take a look at who is picking where for all 60 picks on draft night.  Trades could still shake up the order, though.  A Royal Pain will bring you those updates as they happen.
