NBA Draft 2019 prop bets: Zion Williamson a sure thing but plenty of mystery remains | Sporting News
The 2019 NBA Draft is here, and with it the hopes of every fan that their franchise will land the next big superstar. Rumors have swirled (and deals have been agreed upon) for the last seven days since the conclusion of the NBA Finals, and it’s pretty much anyone’s best guess as to which former college standout will be taken when.
While Zion Williamson is a lock to go first off the board – sportsbooks aren’t even offering odds – there are plenty of lines for fans to bet on ranging from the simple “Will Player X be drafted by Team Y” to the more complex prop bets of something like the over/under on the sum of draft positions for players from certain schools.
