While a consensus number one pick has yet to emerge, we now officially know what team will be tasked with making the draft's first selection; the Cleveland Cavaliers. Besides the Cavs, who had the third best odds of winning, count the Wizards and the Blazers as winners on Tuesday night. The Wiz secured the No. 3 selection despite only having a 12.4 percent chance of landing in the top three. At No. 10, the Blazers retained their lottery selection, which would have gone to the Bobcats had it been outside of the top 12. Give their odds, the Magic (best odds, will pick second) and the Bobcats (second best odds, will pick fourth) had to have gone home disappointed.
