Cooper Flagg hype & appreciation thread

If we finish last, we have a 100% chance of one of those above. We would have at best a 25% chance of getting the 1st pick and selecting the best of the bunch.
That’s pre-2019. It’s a bit complicated but the bottom three teams only have a 14% chance of winning the lottery. Worst overall record is top five so that part of your assertion is correct (if you were including top five and not the four printed above your post.) I guess we both stand corrected.:p

“The NBA Board of Governors approved changes to the lottery system on Sept. 28, 2017. Under the revamped format (which began with the 2019 Draft), the NBA Draft Lottery will ensure that the team with the worst record will receive no worse than the fifth pick. Under the pre-2019 system, the team with the worst record would pick no lower than fourth.

The new system will level the odds at the top of the NBA Draft Lottery so that the teams with the three worst regular-season records will each have a 14 percent chance of winning the lottery. In the pre-2019 structure, the top seed had a 25 percent of winning the lottery, the second seed had a 19.9 percent and the third seed had a 15.6 percent.

After drawings are conducted for the first four picks of the NBA Draft, the other lottery teams will continue to pick in inverse order of their regular-season record.”

The really *****y thing about tanking is you still have basically a 50/50 shot at not even getting a top 4 pick.

I also read the list too fast and didn't see Cooper Flagg was on it so I was thinking we had Cooper flagged plus four options which would give us 100% chance of 1 of those 5 given the worst record.

Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and scoring with Hearskys mom.
