Still very early in the season, 2019 NBA Draft big boards have begun to take shape. After almost two months of the college season, here’s a new lottery Big Board.

It did not take long for fans of many teams to turn their focus to the 2019 NBA Draft. For the Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks, any slim hopes for a miraculous playoff push have been replaced by the excitement for the draft and hopes for a brighter future.

For most teams, this excitement stems from the possibility of drafting Zion Williamson. He’d fit on each of the worst teams in the league, and has become extremely difficult imagining a scenario in which he isn’t picked first.

Other than Zion, this draft has not quite lived up to the excitement previous ones have generated. Lacking star power, the 2019 NBA Draft will have plenty of question marks and what looks like plenty of depth for potential role players.

At this point in the season, the difference between mid-first round picks and early/mid-second-rounders is small and can be argued any way, so for now, this Big Board will only highlight prospects in the lottery.
