In the NBA rookie of five months, the Minnesota Timberwolves chose Anthony Edwards as their first decision.
The Auckland Warriors, who had the second call, invited James Wiseman to center, and LaMelo Ballas will go to the Charlotte Hornets with the third call.
The first three invited basketball players had their first call scheduled at different times, making it difficult to predict which player would be selected first.
Artūras Karnišovas, vice president of basketball operations at Chicago Bulls, had his fourth call in this exchange and selected Patrick Williams.
Edward, 19, 196 cm tall, competed in the NCAA for one season and represented the University of Georgia there. He scored 19.1 points during the game.
At Timberwolves, he will be joined by other young talents D’Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns.
J.Wiseman, a 216 cm tall center, played just three games at the University of Memphis last season and then retired from the NCAA for breaking the rules.
The Warriors team believes that he and Draymond Green will strengthen the club’s defense.
LaMelo is Lonzo’s younger brother and they are the first brothers in NBA history to be invited to the top five in the rookie trade.
Last season, LaMelo played in Australia, scoring 17 points and making seven assists. He played in Lithuania even before.
A. Karnišovas tried to change the fourth call and move up to the second before the newcomers’ trade, but the Warriors did not agree to the trade offer.
The shares of P. Williams, chosen by the Lithuanian, in the exchange of newcomers have soared in recent weeks. Until recently, you were promised a shout in the middle of the first lap. Light Edge played at Florida State University last season and scored 9.2 points there.
The Clavland Cavaliers, who had a fifth call, called up forward Isaac Okoro, who scored 12.9 points and rebounded 4.4 in the NCAA final season.
The basketball player is valued for his defense and is expected to help the Cavaliers strengthen it.
Two European basketball players heard their names in the top ten.
French player Kilian Hayes will continue his career with the Detroit Pistons, who selected him with a seventh call.
Israeli talent Deni Avdija has heard his name in the ninth, the light edge will wear the Washington Wizards jersey.
