NBA Draft Lottery Order Set

The Cleveland Cavaliers' first season without LeBron James was a disaster. Winning just 19 games and going through a stretch between November 30th and February 9th where they went 1-36 including a 26 game losing streak, it was a far cry from the 61-21 record, the best record in the NBA, they posted in James' last season. Things may be looking up though as the Cavaliers won the lottery and now have 2 picks in the top 4 in the upcoming draft. While the draft is not particularly deep, assuming they don't botch the picks, this can only help them. Utah was the other winner as they get New Jersey's #3 pick (from the Deron Williams trade) and also their own pick at #12. Here's how the rest of the lottery shook out:

1. Cleveland (19-63)
2. Minnesota (17-65)
3. Utah (39-43)
4. Cleveland (19-63)
5. Toronto (22-60)
6. Washington (23-59)
7. Sacramento (24-58)
8. Detroit (30-52)
9. Charlotte (34-48)
10. Milwaukee (35-47)
11. Golden State (36-46)
12. Utah (39-43)
13. Phoenix (40-42)
14. Houston (43-39)
