NBA Draft guessing game
Posted May 22, 2008
Tuesday's NBA Draft lottery, won by Chicago, set the first-round order for the June 26th extravaganza. With order in place, mock drafters fired up a new batch of guesses. Of the four Triangle underclassmen who declared early — Ty Lawson (UNC), Wayne Ellington (UNC), Danny Green (UNC) and J.J. Hickson (N.C. State) — Lawson's name appears in the first round in three of the four linked projections.
