Philadelphia picks first for the first time since 1996 when it selected future Hall of Famer Allen Iverson.
8:25 p.m.: The first 11 picks went in order of record, meaning the Celtics, Lakers and 76ers own the top three draft choices. If the Lakers had fallen out of the top three, they would have lost their first round pick to the Suns. The Suns will pick fourth and 13th next month.
Additionally, the Kings get to keep their pick. If it had fallen out of the top 10, they would have lost it to Chicago.
8:20 p.m.: Here we go.
The Bulls will pick 14th. The Suns will pick 13th (from Washington), the Jazz will pick 12th, the Magic will pick 11th, the Bucks will pick 10th, the Raptors will pick ninth (from Denver), the Kings will pick eighth, the Nuggets will pick seventh, the Pelicans will pick sixth, the Timberwolves will pick fifth and the Suns will pick fourth.
8:15 p.m.: Cool story of the night: Timberwolves rep Karl-Anthony Towns, who just recently won the 2015-16 Rookie of the Year award, is wearing the wedding band of former coach Flip Saunders on a chain around his neck.
Saunders died from cancer before last season.
