1. Cleveland Cavaliers
Ten years after taking LeBron, the Cavs once again have the No. 1 overall pick. They had it in 2011 as well and took point guard Kyrie Irving. This year’s decision is not as clear cut. The consensus is that they’ll take 7-footer Nerlens Noel from Kentucky, even if they aren’t as high on him as some other teams.

2. Orlando Magic
Orlando has done a really poor job on draft night in recent years. Not since taking Dwight Howard with the first overall pick in 2004 has it landed a star. It would be hard to mess this up, however: the Magic can’t go wrong with Otto Porter, Ben McLemore, or Victor Oladipo.

3. Washington Wizards
The Wizards have a promising young backcourt with John Wall and Bradley Beal. The best players in this draft would fit just fine with that duo. Next season, expect Washington to increase its winning percentage for the fourth year in a row.

4. Charlotte Bobcats
Charlotte should probably take the best player available, but who is that? It could be whoever is left from the Noel/Porter/McLemore/Oladipo quartet, or it could be Anthony Bennett or Alex Len. New head coach Steve Clifford mentored Yao Ming and Dwight Howard, so he knows the impact a great center can have, so Len could be the pick here.

5. Phoenix Suns
The Suns are drafting here for a reason; like most of the lottery teams, they have many needs. Point guard is not one of them, however, so expect Phoenix to bolster its perimeter scoring with Kansas’ McLemore, if he’s still here.

6. New Orleans Pelicans
The newly-named Pelicans have Greivis Vazquez and last year’s lottery pick Austin Rivers, but many experts believe they’re interested in another point guard, and Trey Burke is worthy of this draft spot. If Len slides here, New Orleans has shown interest in him as well, despite the fact that they have Anthony Davis. Yeah, trying to figure out the thought process of some of these struggling franchises is not easy.

7. Sacramento Kings
With a new general manager hired so recently, it is hard to get a good read on Sacramento. Despite using recent draft picks on Tyreke Evans, Isaiah Thomas, and Jimmer Fredette, the Kings might be inclined to bring in a true point guard like Burke or Michael Carter-Williams. That line of thinking likely also nabs them the best available player.
