As expected, the Cleveland Cavaliers will hold the 14th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. While the Cavs had a very small chance to improve their spot 0.5% for first overall, 2.4% for top four), this was the most likely scenario. Cleveland has held the third, fifth (twice), and eighth pick in the previous four drafts.
The Orlando Magic ended up with the first overall selection with Oklahoma City, Houston, and Sacramento rounding out the top four. The NBA Draft will take place June 23, 2022.
Anderson Varejao was the Cavaliers representative at the NBA Draft Lottery which took place Tuesday night. Previous representatives include Nick Gilbert and Machine Gun Kelly.
