They are still aiming for 2015-16. It's not a guarantee it happens that quick as there are lots of moving pieces (obviously) but it's a good possibility.
Nashville got to pick 2nd in 1998. Atlanta received 2nd in 1999. Minnesota and Columbus 3rd and 4th in 2000.
So there is precedent in expansion teams getting high picks.
