There were no surprises at the top of the draft — Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and RJ Barrett went 1, 2, 3 as expected— but plenty of trades were made and some of the most hyped prospects slid quite a way in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Williamson shed giant tears with his mother after hearing his name called, just a few picks before two of his fellow Duke teammates Barrett and Cam Reddish were selected in the top 10. Kentucky and North Carolina joined Duke in each producing three first round picks. Eleven freshmen were taken in the first round.
NBA DRAFT WINNERS & LOSERS:
Pelicans, Grizzlies build bright futures; Suns, Wizards reach
Oregon's Bol Bol was the biggest drop of the night. The 7-2 center fell from a mid-first round projection all the way to No. 44 with Miami (rights traded to Denver). North Carolina's Nassir Little also dropped to much later in the draft than anticipated. Portland selected him at No. 25.
