Top 10 NBA Teams that Had the Best 2019 Draft
A lot of teams had amazing drafts. Some had good, some had okay, some had bad, and some had horrible drafts. We will be reviewing the amazing and good drafts.
-
New Orleans Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans are a professional basketball team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. They are a member of the NBA's Western Conference Southwest Division. The team was established as the New Orleans Hornets before changing its name to the Pelicans in 2013.
The Pelicans, of course, got Zion Williamson. He is one of the best prospects ever. I like their pick of Jaxson Hayes. He will be a great center for the future.
Getting Nickeil Alexander-Walker was awesome. He can easily play backup point for Lonzo Ball. Great draft from one of the best executives ever, David Griffin.
-
Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies are an American professional basketball team based in Memphis, Tennessee. The Grizzlies compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division. The team was founded in 1995 as the Vancouver Grizzlies and relocated to Memphis... read more
The Grizzlies had a great draft. They got Ja Morant, who will change this franchise. Then they completely stole Brandon Clarke.
Things could be looking up for the Grizzlies.
-
Portland Trailblazers
The Portland Trail Blazers, commonly known as the Blazers, are a professional basketball team based in Portland, Oregon. They play in the NBA's Western Conference and have a passionate fan base. The team was established in 1970 and has appeared in the NBA Finals three times.
The Portland Trail Blazers got the biggest steal ever. Nassir Little is a top-10 talent. He has huge offensive and defensive talent.
I love the pick of Nassir Little. An absolute steal.
They had the best buzzer shot ever in the history of basketball.
-
New York Knicks
The New York Knickerbockers, commonly referred to as the Knicks, are an American professional basketball team based in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. They compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Atlantic Division. The team was established in 1946 and is one... read more
They pulled a number-one talent in R.J. Barrett. He will be a superstar in this league. The Knicks should be very happy with this pick.
The Knicks also got Kyle Guy. He should be a great player.
-
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers, also known as the Cavs, are a professional basketball team based in Cleveland, Ohio. They compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Eastern Conference Central Division. The team won its first NBA Championship in 2016.
The Cavaliers had a good draft. They got Darius Garland, who can be one of the best players from this draft. I am kind of nervous about the fit with Collin Sexton.
Coach Beilein runs this kind of offense all the time, though. His double-guard offense is deadly, so I trust him. I love the pick of Dylan Windler also. Plus, they got Kevin Porter Jr. to come off the bench or maybe even start.
-
Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons are an American professional basketball team based in Detroit, Michigan. They compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Eastern Conference's Central Division. The Pistons have won three NBA championships, in 1989, 1990, and 2004.
Great pickup of Sekou Doumbouya. They got a steal at 15th. Dwane Casey should be able to build him up.
Isaiah Roby is a good player and a steal as well. I absolutely love what the Pistons did.
-
Washington Wizards
The Washington Wizards are an American professional basketball team based in Washington, D.C. They compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division. The team was originally established as the Chicago Packers in 1961 before relocating and becoming... read more
They picked up Rui Hachimura. I love that pick. He should be a guaranteed great role player, and he may end up being a star.
Great draft for the Wizards.
-
Miami Heat
The Miami Heat is an American professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida. The Heat compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. Founded in 1988, the team has won three NBA championships.
Just a class team, nothing else to say.
I don't get why they took Tyler Herro over Nassir Little and Sekou Doumbouya, but I still like Herro too. The reason they are on this list is because of their trade for KZ Okpala. Plus, they stole Bol Bol in the second round.
-
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves are an American professional basketball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They are a member of the Western Conference Northwest Division in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team was founded in 1989 and plays its home games at the Target Center.
After missing out on Darius Garland, the Wolves got Jarrett Culver as a second choice. I like a Culver/Towns pick-and-roll game.
-
Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are a professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are one of the most storied franchises in NBA history and are widely recognized for developing legendary players such as Larry Bird, Bill Russell, and Paul Pierce.... read more
They got Grant Williams, so they should be in the top 10.

The Spurs were founded in 1967 as the Dallas Chaparrals before relocating and rebranding, and they have won five NBA championships.... read more
I love the Keldon Johnson pick. It was a total steal. I don't really like Luka Samanic. I feel like they could have gotten something better instead of Samanic.
Now, if they had just flip-flopped the selections, that would be great.
-
Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks are an American professional basketball team based in Atlanta, Georgia. They compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. The team was founded in 1946 and moved to Atlanta in 1968, after previously being located in... read more
Literally had the best draft out of everyone. Got the two best wing players available in Hunter and BamBamCam. And yeah, I said everyone, including RJ and Culver.
