With the picks being officially decided during the NBA Draft Lottery last night, it will be interesting to see just how this year's draft will play out. While it was a tense night for the likes of Magic Johnson, whose Lakers were at risk of losing their lottery pick to the Philadelphia 76ers if they had not landed a top three pick, there weren't many surprises or major franchise altering bounces of the ball. There are, however a few aspects that do need to be discussed when it comes to this year's draft lottery.

But what about a ring?         It's obvious that this team doesn't have much chemistry at the moment besides the Porzingis-Grant duo that surprised the NBA Summer League, which is expected and is almost a non-problem. Players will not mesh in a day especially when they haven't played a single game with each...
