Three basketball players from Michigan have declared for the NBA draft and here is where the experts think they will land.

Charles Matthews and Jordan Poole officially put Michigan basketball in their rearview mirror; However, Ignas Brazdiekis had a decision to make and he had to do it quickly.

Among the many new rules of the NBA and the NCAA, players can now hire an agent and try to get a fair assessment of where they could be driven in the project. When undergraduates declare themselves for draft NBA, their name is provided to the Undergraduate Student Advisory Committee (UAC) which "will now provide written feedback to players and their coaches.

Comments are gathered by sending NBA leaders a series of e-mails with a list of names and asking their team to evaluate the stock of players in stock. The player is then informed of the responses of NBA leaders, whether it is a lottery choice or a draw. "

The new rules also state that if the player wants to return to college, he must withdraw his name from the nomination by May 29th.

In addition to the new reporting rules, the project itself is changing. Two years ago, the NBA approved the changes to the project that will be implemented this year.

The big drafting team of the NBA explained the new rules:

In the revamped format, the NBA Draft Lottery will ensure that the team with the worst record will not receive worse than the fifth choice. Under the system before 2019, the team with the worst record would choose no less than the fourth.

The new system will level the odds at the top of the NBA provisional lottery, so teams with the three worst records in the regular season will each have a 14% chance of winning the lottery. In the structure before 2019, the first seed had 25% winners in the lottery, the second seed of 19.9% ​​and the third seed of 15.6%.

The chances of the remaining 14-team lottery participants will be reduced gradually after the first three. For example, the difference in lottery odds between the first three seeds (14%) and the fourth (12.5%) will be 1.5%. The difference between the fourth seed and the fifth seed (10.5%) will be 2% and the difference between the fifth seed and the sixth seed (9%) will be 1.5%.

Once the draws are made for the first four picks in the NBA draft, the other lottery teams will continue to choose in the reverse order of their regular season record.

Although we all know that Zion Williamson will be voted No. 1, no team is sure to choose what many speculate as being the goal of the new rules; to prevent the tank for the mentality of Zion.

Since Zion did not play for Michigan, let's see where the Wolverines will be taken.
