The 2021 NBA draft lottery is complete with Pistons the winning the top selection. The Rockets, Cavaliers, Raptors and Magic round out the top five picks. The Timberwolves lost their top-3 protected pick to the Warriors and the Bulls lost their top-4 protected pick to the Magic.

The Pistons will likely take Oklahoma State star Cade Cunningham with the first pick while the Rockets get a big man in Evan Mobley. The Cavaliers are heavy on guards and will likely opt for Johnathan Kuminga, leaving Jalen Suggs and Jalen Green for the Raptors and Magic, respectively, as the top five picks.
