The NBA Draft Lottery takes place at 8:30 tonight in Chicago and one team is going to win the Zion Williamson sweepstakes. It's been a long time since there has been a clear number one pick, but Williamson is considered a sure bet on and off the court.
If you think you know who might get Williamson, think again. The NBA changed its lottery odds format allowing several teams to have a legitimate shot at the top pick. That rule change came via tanking but it was clear some teams still took that route for a high pick
