Jimmer Fredette-Will he be a Lottery Pick? (Yes -160, No +120)
The star guard from BYU did end up as a lottery selection. The Milwaukee Bucks picked Fredette at the tenth spot of the first round. However, the club promptly sent Fredette to the Sacramento Kings in a multi-player trade.
Chris Singleton-Will he be a Lottery Pick? (Yes -300, No +200)
In an upset, the defensive specialist out of Florida State missed the lottery stage. At four spots past the lottery, the Washington Wizards tabbed Singleton with the 18th pick.
Donatas Montiejunas-Will he be a Lottery Pick? (Yes -180, No +130)
Once again, the projected outcome did not occur. The only seven-footer in this year's draft slipped to the 20th spot in the opening round. Montiejunas is set to join a crowded frontcourt with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Klay Thompson-Will he be a Lottery Pick? (Yes -300, No +200)
This one went as expected although the club that chose Thompson was a bit of a surprise. Even with a strong backcourt in place, the Golden State Warriors added the Washington State shooting guard with the 11th choice of the first round.
Marshon Brooks-Will he be a Lottery Pick? (No -400, Yes +250)
The Providence guard was picked well outside of the lottery range. Brooks went to the nearby Boston Celtics at the 25th spot of round one.
Tobias Harris-Will he be a Lottery Pick? (No -500, Yes +300)
While Harris showed plenty of potential in his one collegiate campaign at Tennessee, he didn't make enough of an impression to move into the lottery. The forward ended up going to the Charlotte Bobcats with the 19th pick of the first round.
JaJuan Johnson-When will he be Drafted (First Round -120, Second Round -120)
In the end, the Purdue frontcourt star snuck into the first round. Johnson went to the New Jersey Nets at the 27th spot of round one.
Kawhi Leonard-Draft Position (Ov/Un: 6.5, OV-15)
Heading into the draft, many viewed Leonard as a definite top 10 selection. However, the San Diego State forward was still on the board at the end of the lottery stage of the draft. With the first choice after the lottery, the Indiana Pacers grabbed Leonard at the 15th spot.
Kemba Walker-Draft Position (Ov/Un: 6.5, OV-9)
While Walker was able to become a lottery selection, he still went a little lower than many analysts had projected. In the end, Charlotte went with the star guard out of Connecticut with the ninth pick of the opening round.
