Tonight is the night that Coby White, Nassir Little, Cameron Johnson, and many other standout college players have been waiting for. The 2019 NBA Draft is tonight, and all eyes are on New York to see how everything will shake out.
There is no drama about the number 1 pick in the draft. That’s going to be Zion Williamson going to the Pelicans first overall. After that, there is a bit of uncertainty, particularly because the 4th overall pick could (and likely will) be traded from New Orleans to a team trying to move up into the top 5.
White is expected to go somewhere between pick 5 and pick 7, Little should easily end up in the top 15, and Johnson will likely be selected close to the end of the first round, if all the mock drafts are to be believed.
