After 55 minutes of programming, the NBA revealed the 2018 draft order Tuesday with the Phoenix Suns getting the first overall pick.
Of course, not every team was as lucky as Phoenix. The Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks were among the teams who did not land in their projected spot.
NBA teams and players made their feelings known on Twitter as deputy commissioner Mark Tatum ticked off which teams were going where. Here are some of those highlights.
Thanks, @Lakers.
