NBA Draft 2016 Big Board: Ranking Top 50 Players In Talented Class

The order of selection for the lottery portion of the 2016 NBA Draft’s first round was set Tuesday when the Philadelphia 76ers won the No. 1 overall selection.

Now it’s time for teams to really ramp up their scouting efforts, which will include workouts, interviews and lots more film study to figure out which players are best-suited for their respective teams.

The first two picks are pretty much set — it would be a major surprise if someone other than Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram went in the top two — but the rest of the first round is difficult to predict right now.
