2009 NBA Draft Order Changes One More Time Heading into Draft Night

The 2009 NBA Draft Order Starts with the Los Angeles Clippers Making First Pick

Ryan Christopher DeVault
The 2009 NBA Draft order is pretty much set, and now the excitement and anticipation is only hours away from the culmination of the 2009 NBA Draft. The Los Angeles Clippers have the #1 pick in the draft, and will be followed by the Memphis Grizzlies at #2 (for now). The Minnesota Timberwolves traded up to get the No.5 and No.6 picks in the draft, and could look to make more moves. It will be interesting to see how the 2009 NBA Draft order actually plays out on draft day, and if there are more trades in the pipeline that could see even further adjustments to the 2009 NBA Draft order. Regardless of who picks where in the draft, there is a lot talent about to hit the hardwood in the NBA, and it all gets started on Thursday night at the 2009 NBA Draft. You can also see how the final 2009 NBA Draft order plays out by visiting the AC Live Blog at the NBA Draft updated pick by pick on draft day.
