The NBA Draft has come to an end. Despite all the rumors and drama entering the draft it ended up being fairly tame. The biggest news of the night was obviously Jimmy Butler being traded to the Timberwolves and that set the tone for many trades throughout the night. However, of the picks actually made none of them were particularly surprising.
The top three went as expected with the 76ers trading up to take the No. 1 pick and the Celtics trading down to No. 3. Philadelphia has taken Markelle Fultz out of Washington at No. 1. The Celtics wound up grabbing Jayson Tatum at No. 3 which some might have considered a reach. Then there's the Lakers, which made Lonzo Ball's wish come true.
