We’re about to find out. Tonight is the NBA draft lottery and the Kings have the best chance of getting that No. 1 pick (25 percent). The Wizards and Clippers are right behind at just below 18 percent while the Soni … er … Thunder have an 11.9 percent chance and the Timberwolves and Grizzlies at about 7 percent.

No matter who ends up with the top pick, Blake Griffin, from Oklahoma, seems to be the consensus No. 1. And why not? There’s not much else in this draft. That’s why so many underclassmen declared. Take a look at the list.

UPDATE: We’re down to the final three picks. It took until pick six for anything exciting to happen, as Nos. 7 through 14 held true to the standings. The big loser? The Kings, who had a 1-in-4 chance of landing the top pick and instead end up at No. 4. But it was worth seeing the “Oh well, I’m retired” look on Chris Webber’s face.

The three remaining teams are the Clippers, Grizzlies and Thunder. Here’s hoping Griffin doesn’t end up in LA.

UPDATE TWO: Oh well. The Clippers get the No. 1 pick, with the Grizzlies at No. 2 and the Thunder at No. 3.

Unless they do something crazy - Michael Olowokandi anyone? - the Clippers should be taking Griffin with that pick in next month’s draft. So it should be about three years until he’s a free agent and bolting LA for some other team.
