So Washington's pick is top 8 protected. If it is past that, it goes to the Knicks. They should be safe from that, but a nice little five game winning streak could cause a little stress. So they hope Young is good, but not that good.
In the West, the Jazz pick goes to OKC if it falls outside of the top 8. I expect the Jazz slide in the standings but it looks like they will be close to the 8th best odds, so without lottery luck they may be sweating draft night pretty hard.
