Arena lights casts various color tones around the arena as teammates Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid have a laugh during a timeout in the first half on Saturday, Nov. 30, 2013 in Paradise Island, Bahamas.

Now that we know the order of this year’s NBA Draft Lottery, we can take a little closer look at where we think former Jayhawks Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid might be drafted in late June.

It seems safe to say that both will be top 3 picks. That’s been the consensus opinion of NBA gurus, executives and analysts since the two announced their intentions to leave Kansas and Tuesday’s unveiling of the lottery order did nothing to change that.

For those who might have missed it or don’t care enough about the NBA to pay attention, here’s the lotto order (complete with any applicable trades), which, inexplicably, once again was won by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

1. Cleveland Cavaliers
2. Milwaukee Bucks
3. Philadelphia 76ers
4. Orlando Magic
5. Utah Jazz
6. Boston Celtics
7. Los Angeles Lakers
8. Sacramento Kings
9. Charlotte Hornets
10. Philadelphia 76ers
11. Denver Nuggets
12. Orlando Magic
13. Minnesota Timberwolves
14. Phoenix Suns

OK, now that we’ve settled all of that, let’s take a look at how Embiid and Wiggins fit with the existing rosters of the top three teams in this year’s draft.

1. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS

Top players: PG Kyrie Irving, SF Luol Deng, PF Anderson Varejao, SG Dion Waiters

Top needs: Scoring. The Cavs have a serviceable group of big men who can play defense and rebound, but they don’t have a go-to offensive option in the post. Add to that the fact that so much of the scoring burden constantly falls on Irving and you might be looking at a team that simply wants to take the guy who can best put points on the board.

Wildcard: The big question here is whether the Cavs believe they can or will resign Deng. If they do, he locks up their starting small forward position and opens the door for adding Embiid. If they don’t keep Deng, then I think you’ve got a situation where Wiggins and Embiid is decided by a coin flip. Of course, there also exists the possibility that Cleveland’s former favorite son, LeBron James, could be eyeing a return and if that’s even close to possible, the Cavs wouldn’t want to invest in Wiggins at LeBron’s position.

Wiggins or Embiid? — Embiid.

2. MILWAUKEE BUCKS

Top players: PG Brandon Knight, PF John Henson, SF Khris Middleton, SG Ramon Sessions

Top needs: Everything. Knight’s a solid but unspectacular point guard, but outside of that, the Bucks are hurting. Milwaukee not only could use a serious boost in talent, but could also use an extremely marketable player who could become the immediate face of the franchise. Embiid’s got the more marketable personality in that he likes to tell stories about slaying a lion and is a practical joker with a million-dollar smile, but Wiggins might be easier to sell as a future elite-level all-star because of the position he plays and the fact that his skill set includes physical feats that can blow people’s minds.

Wildcard: Might the Bucks look to trade the pick in an attempt to turn it into 2 or 3 guys who could make an immediate impact instead of just one? That’ll get sorted out in the next four weeks, but, with this team, anything is possible.

Wiggins or Embiid? — Wiggins.

3. PHILADELPHIA 76ERS

Top players: PG Michael Carter-Williams, PF Thaddeus Young, C Nerlens Noel, SF Jason Richardson

Top needs: The Sixers ranked near the bottom of the NBA in many defensive categories last season, but were dead last in offensive efficiency, a reality that would make the Embiid or Wiggins decision an interesting call. However, it’s one they’re likely to avoid seeing how they landed the No. 3 pick. The draft lottery probably fell perfectly for Philly, which very well might be “forced” to take Duke’s Jabari Parker, a player who probably fits their greatest need. Not that the Sixers wouldn’t take Embiid or Wiggins, but many believe Parker is the more polished scorer of the top options and is the kind of guy who is ready to contribute and help carry the scoring load right away.

Wildcard: It’s all about Parker. If he were to go in the top two, ahead of either Embiid or Wiggins, Philly would no doubt jump on whichever former Jayhawk remained, both because of the way either could help their roster and the way either could inject some life into the franchise. Parker’s probably the guy they end up with, but since we’re asking about the KU guys for this blog, we’ll still answer the question… You know, just in case.

Wiggins or Embiid? — Wiggins.
