There is one true prize in this years NBA Draft, and that is the 285-pound phenom Zion Williamson out of Duke.
With just one year of college basketball under his belt, the South Carolina native was able to make a huge splash in the NCAA, dominating the competition and getting the attention of the NBA.
Attention not seen since LeBron James, who was drafted back in 2003 straight out of high school and labeled the ‘Chosen One’ on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
And it will all come down to luck - The NBA uses a lottery system that gives the three worst teams the best shot at landing a potential superstar.
Those teams this year are the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Phoenix Suns – but even the best shot is only a 14 percent chance.
This is a change from previous years, where the team with the worst record would have a 25 percent chance at the top pick.
The NBA Lottery is Tuesday night at 8:30pm eastern.
