Pre-Draft Hub: Joel Embiid Is A Young Zydrunas Ilgauskas D:

With this year's prospects considered as one of strongest draft class in decades, even better than the legendary 2000 Draft Class, let this thread serve as a hub for any discussion about the upcoming draft or prospects before that magical night in June when the NBA Draft happens.

Cleveland Cavaliers win another 1st pick, for the 3rd time in 4 years, followed by Milwaukee Bucks at 2nd and Philadelphia 76ers at 3rd.

Warlock Nick Gilbert stayed at home this time due to his condition but he still did his part by praying to Yinka Dare, don't worry the tears of teams who lost out on the lottery heals and gives Nick Gilbert strength.

Cavs GM on having Dan Gilbert’s son’s bow tie in his front pocket for luck: “I didn’t wear it, because nobody else can swing Thor’s hammer.”

Tonight's the night, the 2014 NBA Draft Lottery before game 2 of the Eastern Conference champion Indiana Pacers match against the Miami Heat. Catch the Draft Lottery on ESPN or NBA TV!
Which team do you want the ping-pong ball gods to favor and receive the #1 pick? What's the stupidest lucky charm that team representatives will bring to the lottery? Will the warlock Nick Gilbert still have enough powers to conjure for the Cavaliers the number 1 pick again for the 3rd time in 4 years? Will Dr. J look stupid representing the Sixers bringing with him a piece of the backboard shattered by Darryl Dawkins? Will Celtics fans have a massive butthurt again about the Draft Lottery that will last for almost 20 years? Who among the draft prospects are can't miss legends in the same level as Kwame Brown or have 'bust' written all over them like Derrick Rose? Like David Stern before him will Adam Silver give a friendly help to the Knicks? Weighted ping-pong balls, sounds silly but it's true!

1. Bucks
2. Celtics
3. 76ers
4. Magic
5. Lakers

Unless LA wins a top three pick, the Jazz pick before them.
