Minnesota Wins The NBA Draft Lottery


The Minnesota Timberwolves have won the 2015 NBA Draft Lottery. They had a 25% chance to win the first overall pick, marking just the fourth time since the current format began in 1994 that the team with the best chance to get the top pick has seen the correct ping pong ball combination pop up out of the machine. The consensus number one overall draft prospect is currently Karl-Anthony Towns from Kentucky.

The Lakers drew the second overall pick, after having the fourth best chance at the first pick. Philadelphia saw their number combo pop up for the third pick, as the Knicks were pushed out of the top three selections.

Philadelphia did not pick up either one of the conditional first round picks they stood to gain from the Lakers or Heat.
