The 2019 NBA Draft Lottery is now complete, and Virginia fans have a little bit more of an idea of where De’Andre Hunter could land during the NBA Draft on June 20. In a dramatic turn of events, the New Orleans Pelicans landed the No. 1 pick, despite having just a 6% chance of earning the top spot.
Zion Williamson will likely (definitely) go to the Pelicans with the first pick, and that could even impact whether Anthony Davis decides to stay in New Orleans. The Memphis Grizzlies got the second pick, followed by the New York Knicks in third and the Los Angeles Lakers in fourth.
Here’s the full draft order:
- New Orleans Pelicans
- Memphis Grizzlies
- New York Knicks
- Los Angeles Lakers
- Cleveland Cavaliers
- Phoenix Suns
- Chicago Bulls
- Atlanta Hawks
- Washington Wizards
- Atlanta Hawks
- Minnesota Timberwolves
- Charlotte Hornets
- Miami Heat
- Boston Celtics
- Detroit Pistons
- Orlando Magic
- Brooklyn Nets
- Indiana Pacers
- San Antonio Spurs
- Boston Celtics
- Oklahoma City Thunder
- Boston Celtics
- Utah Jazz
- Philadelphia 76ers
- Portland Trail Blazers
- Cleveland Cavaliers
- Brooklyn Nets
- Golden State Warriors
- San Antonio Spurs
- Milwaukee Bucks
With Hunter expected to go in the pick 5-8 range, it’s likely he will end up with the Cavaliers, Suns, Bulls, or Hawks. SB Nation projects Hunter to the Cleveland Cavaliers, which could be a great fit under new head coach (and former Michigan coach) John Beilein. Hunter recently withdrew from the NBA Combine, which could be to avoid injury or as a result of promises of going at a certain position.
DeAndre Hunter, Chuma Okeke and Killian Tillie have withdrawn from the NBA Combine, the league office just informed all 30 teams that they will not be available for interviews tonight. Feel free to start speculating as to why (promises, etc).

Hunter is joined by Virginia teammates Ty Jerome and Kyle Guy in the draft, and Mamadi Diakite has been participating in the G-League Elite Camp.
