2018 NBA Draft

[hoopla32]

Hammers, Sonics Select Jordan and Hakeem 1-2 in the 2018 Draft

The 2017-2018 season wasn't a welcoming one for the league's two newest franchises. Fortunately for them, according to most scouts, this was a great year to land a top three pick. By most measures, this draft class featured at least two players who most scouts tagged as "can't miss" in Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan. Two players who seem like surefire cornerstone pieces. As one GM said, "Hakeem and Michael are sure fire bets. You get one of those two, then you have a surefire superstar to build around for the next decade."

The Seattle Supersonics finished with the league's worst record at 23-59 and the Pittsburgh Hammers finished with the league's third worst record at 28-54. That was good enough to land the Hammers with the number one overall pick and the Sonics the number two overall pick.

Rounding out the top five of the draft was Charles Barkely out of Auburn who was selected third overall by the Phoenix Suns, John Stockton out of Gonzaga who was selected by the reigning Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers who had the Sacramento Kings pick, and Sam Perkins out of North Carolina who was selected by the Detroit Pistons.
