Furthermore, the Pistons selected Cade Cunningham first overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. When Houston had the top pick in 2002, the Rockets picked Shanghai Sharks star Yao Ming. Of course, the Spurs have not received the top pick since 1997, when the team drafted Tim Duncan out of Wake Forest.

Two other teams to analyze for the 2023 NBA Draft Lottery are the Dallas Mavericks and Chicago Bulls. Dallas is slotted at No. 10. If the Mavs drop out of the top 10 after the lottery, they will send their pick to the New York Knicks. Likewise, New York is slotted at No. 11. Unless they move into the top four, the Knicks will send their pick to Orlando.
