2015 NBA Draft (Second Update!)

With the contract salary still under negotiation, the Pelicans had yet to make an official announcement, but after Woj's report, the news was pretty much confirmed.

D'Antoni was not bad either.

Tang Tian had planned to improve his Passing Ability in the new season. With D'Antoni coming in, he could strengthen that aspect perfectly.

Both Jokic and Davis, his two interior players, could shoot threes.

He had faced D'Antoni and the Rockets as opponents in his previous life. Now that he had the chance to experience Moreyball firsthand, he was quite looking forward to it.

Contract negotiations could not be settled overnight.

While D'Antoni and the Pelicans had yet to finalize the salary negotiations, the 2015 NBA Draft had arrived.

The lottery drawing had already been held during the second round of last season's Playoffs, and the lottery order had been determined.

The Timberwolves, who had the worst record last season, won the Top Draft Pick.

The Second overall pick belonged to the Nets.

The Nets had finished Tenth in the East last season, so their odds of landing a top-three pick had not been high.

But their owner, Prokhorov, showed off his lucky hand.

Although many fans mocked the league for manipulating the lottery results once again, after enduring the Billy King era, they finally had a chance to turn things around.

The Third overall pick belonged to the 76ers.

The lottery picks from fourth through fourteenth went, in order: Kings, Suns, Nuggets, Magic, Pistons, Jazz, Hornets, Mavericks, Heat, Pacers, Thunder.

The Pelicans had only one Draft Pick this year, the twenty-eighth pick in the first round.

On draft day, Tang Tian went to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn with Dempsey and Lausha.

With last year's experience under his belt, Tang Tian seemed much more at ease this year.
