between Memphis and Minnesota (33 and 34); and the Los Angeles
Clippers and New York (35 and 36): since the order of selection in
the first round for each set of teams may change based on the
results of the Draft Lottery, the order of selection in the second
round cannot be determined until after the Draft Lottery is
conducted on May 20.
