The NBA Draft is fast approaching and with the event going down on Thursday, June 27 rumors are starting to fly for all the top teams, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards as well as names like the Suns, Bobcats and Pelicans.
Nerlens Noel is considered the top pick in the draft despite being injured and the event will be going down at 7 PM at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and a number of players will be in attendance, including names like Steven Adams, Victor Oladipo, Ben McLemore, Alex Len, Otto Porter and Cody Zeller. Those players will chill in the green room and they are expected to be top picks. Len is moving up boards and could end up as the number one pick.
