There are, of course, chances for teams to move up in the lottery from what would be their normal position, and in this draft, there was a bit of shifting. NBA draft lottery results show the following situation, which does not aim to cover the entire picture.

The second pick in NBA Draft Lottery 2009 went to the Memphis Grizzlies, who moved up from sixth, while the Oklahoma City Thunder will select third, moving up from fourth.
