Pretty much everyone tracking tonight's NBA Draft expected Ben Simmons (LSU) to go No. 1 to the Philadelphia 76ers and Brandon Ingram (Duke) to go No. 2 to the Los Angeles Lakers. After the predictable picks were complete, the surprises began.
Few—if any—draft analysts had predicted Jaylen Brown (California) or Dragan Bender (Croatia) going in the top four. The latest ESPN big board had Kris Dunn (Providence), Jamal Murray (Kentucky), and Marquese Chriss (Washington) ranked ahead of both players.
Fans had a split opinion.
Here is a full breakdown of the picks so far:
1. Philadelphia - Ben Simmons
2. Los Angeles - Brandon Ingram
3. Boston - Jaylen Brown
4. Phoenix - Dragan Bender
5. Minnesota - Kris Dunn
6. New Orleans - Buddy Hield
7. Denver - Jamal Murray
8. Phoenix (via Sacramento) - Marquese Chriss
9. Toronto - Jakob Poeltl
