Good morning and welcome to the 1992 Draft Lottery Show! First and foremost I would like to say congratulations to everyone within the Atlanta Hawks organization for back to back NBA Championships! All good things must come to an end, and the NBA 1991-92 season was definitely one to remember! I would personally like to thank all of our organizations in the NBA for their active involvement throughout this past season, and look forward to continuing it into the upcoming season. Speaking of the future, the potential future direction of 13 anxious teams hangs in the balance tonight as a new chapter begins for the NBA here in New York City!
Before we get to the lottery, let's review the Draft Order as it stands today based off records, standings and tie-breakers. This is NOT the official draft order; this COULD potentially change.
#1 - Seattle Supersonics #2 - Houston Rockets #3 - Cleveland Cavaliers (via Washington) #4 - Los Angeles Clippers #5 - Miami Heat #6 - Philadelphia 76ers (via Boston) #7 - Detroit Pistons #8 - Charlotte Hornets (via Cleveland) #9 - Toronto Raptors (via Charlotte) #10 - Philadelphia 76ers #11 - Minnesota Timberwolves #12 - Portland Trailblazers #13 - Detroit Pistons (via Denver)

Teams will be anxiously awaiting the turnout of the lottery, hoping that they were fortunate enough to have the lucky combination and secure a top pick! And with that top pick we have some great talent available. Let's take a look at some of the top prospects in this draft.
Shaquille O'Neal, 7'1", C, Louisiana State Strengths: Ferocious Inside Game, Strong as a Bull, Raw Potential for Elite Rebounding and Defense Weaknesses: Could Require Some Time to Develop
Alonzo Mourning, 6'10", C, Georgetown Strengths: NBA-Ready in each Blocking, Defensive Rebounding, Inside Game Weaknesses: Not Overly Quick, Offensive Rebounding, Post Defense
Latrell Sprewell, 6'5", SG, Alabama Strengths: Above Average Jump-Shoot and 3-Point Shoot, Potential to be Starter in NBA from Day One Weaknesses: Doesn't excel at one specific thing, Average to Below Average Handles for a Guard
Jon Barry, 6'5", SG, Georgia Tech Strengths: Above Average Jump-Shot and 3-Point Shot, Great Handles, Pick Pocket on the Court Weaknesses: Not Overly Quick, Perimeter Defense needs work
