The 2018 NBA Draft starts at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, and nothing is set. Will Deandre Ayton go No. 1? Maybe Luka Doncic? An outside choice like Jaren Jackson Jr. or Marvin Bagley III?

Adding to the potential chaos of the lottery, the teams at the top of the draft are not set in stone either, with many current owners of high picks appearing willing to trade down. We’ve already seen Dwight Howard shipped from the Hornets to the Nets for second-round picks the day before the draft, and that feels like the beginning.
