The draft is only a week and a half away, and here's all we know for sure -- John Wall will be the No. 1 pick on June 24. We've been writing for weeks that the Washington Wizards taking Wall with the No. 1 was a done deal. Multiple team sources, off the record of course, have been telling us for weeks that Wall is their man.
Now, it looks even more official. The Washington Post reported over the weekend that Evan Turner wouldn't even be working out for the Wizards and was conceding the No. 1 spot to Wall.
To read as comprehensive a report on the draft as you'll find -- lottery picks, second-round surprises, international prospects, trade rumors and more -- sign up for ESPN Insider today.
