NBA Draft Lottery Thread

[Iceman]

My actual prediction though:

1. Phoenix Suns
2. Philadelphia 76ers
3. Denver Nuggets (via New York Knicks)
4. Philadelphia 76ers (via Los Angeles Lakers)
5. Boston Celtics (via Brooklyn Nets)
6. Minnesota Timberwolves
7. New Orleans Pelicans
8-14. same

Man, I sure hope so! Being a Suns fan

I'd rather not see Brandon Ingram in LA tbh

 

[Iceman]

Would love to see Ben Simmons in purple and orange next season

Can't wait for Toronto to win and everybody to riot
 
I ran it through ESPN since their lotto simulator also provides a mock draft, first try got the Timberwolves winning (5th spot. 8.8% chance), that would be one hell of a team. Also had the Lakers pick dropping to 4 which is another thing I can't wait to see happen

and in those years the pistons never got a good pick. we got lucky that some guys basically fell in our laps.

Now we will know for sure if the lottery is rigged

Fucking spoilers everywhere

 

[Iceman]

Oh yea. That's not going to be a good thing if Philly does indeed get the #1 pick

 

[buzzy]

I wouldn't put it past the guy to see a ranking of the odds and didn't think it through and thought they won.

 

[Mexi]

Stubhub insured the first pick already lol

yep 100% I was so ecstatic when we got Drummond, thought we had no chance
 
can't wait to see who this year's steals might be, gonna do some looks at individual prospects once the lotto is behind us

Has any team slotted at 14 (or last, before all the expansions) ever ended up with anything other than the 14th pick?

Watch the magic moment documentary on netflix about the 1992 orlando magic... in 1993 they had a 1 in a 66 chance of winning a back to back first pick(which they selected penny) after selecting shaq the year before.... they had one ping pong ball in there and it found its way to being a first pick. That was the luck of pat williams

 

[Paulius]

I doubt it

Shouldnt

Remember no matter what happens, the lottery is fixed
