June 23 – With the Dallas Mavericks’ glorious NBA Championship victory over the Miami Heat still fresh in the minds of NBA betting fans, it is already time for the 2011/12 NBA Draft, and in this vein, leading land and online sportsbook WilliamHill.com has released the latest NBA Draft betting odds.

William Hill has posted odds on arguably the two best NBA Draftees in the form of the highly talented Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams. Kyrie Irving has been installed as the 1/5 odds-on favorite to go first overall, while Williams is at 7/2 for that honor.

Kyrie Irving could prove a valuable asset to the Cavaliers

It goes without saying that the Cleveland Cavaliers would give their left arms (and possibly lefts legs too) to get LeBron James back next season, but that’s not going to happen, which means they’ll be champing at the bit to sign Irving, a player that is deservedly making basketball headlines.

Last year at Duke, Irving showed off the kind of talent and drive that could see him become a formidable playmaker in the NBA. He continually showcased his ability to create plays for himself and his teammates, which is why he could prove a very welcome and valuable asset to the lackluster Cavaliers.

Derrick Williams could help get the Timberwolves back on track

So assuming Irving is scooped up by the Cavs, the next NBA Draft betting odds question is where the equally talented Derrick Williams will likely end up? We believe with the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team that needs a lot of attention as well as a major skill injection if they are to become contenders in the NBA next season.

While the franchise is in dire need of a shooting guard and a small forward, coach David Kahn will not hesitate to snatch up the best possible player, and after Kyrie Irving, that will likely be Derrick Williams. Williams would undoubtedly work well with Kevin Love, who is arguably the best remaining player at Minnesota.
