NBA Draft Lottery is set, giving more ideas where De’Andre Hunter could land

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:

1. New Orleans Pelicans
2. Memphis Grizzlies
3. New York Knicks
4. Los Angeles Lakers
5. Cleveland Cavaliers
6. Phoenix Suns
7. Chicago Bulls
8. Atlanta Hawks
9. Washington Wizards
10. Atlanta Hawks
11. Minnesota Timberwolves
12. Charlotte Hornets
13. Miami Heat
14. Boston Celtics
15. Detroit Pistons
16. Orlando Magic
17. Brooklyn Nets
18. Indiana Pacers
19. San Antonio Spurs
20. Boston Celtics
21. Oklahoma City Thunder
22. Boston Celtics
23. Utah Jazz
24. Philadelphia 76ers
25. Portland Trail Blazers
26. Cleveland Cavaliers
27. Brooklyn Nets
28. Golden State Warriors
29. San Antonio Spurs
30. 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.

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.

Where do you think Hunter lands?
