Bryan Colangelo's rebuilding job as president and general manager of the Toronto Raptors got a little easier.

Colangelo and the Raptors had their first major breakthrough Tuesday night, winning the NBA lottery and the right to pick first in the June 28 draft in New York.

"There's some jockeying that can be done," Colangelo said. "Maybe we'll trade down and end up with two players out of the draft. We'll see. We've got a lot of options. This is a great day and an exciting day for this organization."
