How do tie breakers work in the lottery? Coin flip, or do they average the odds out?

Jazz lose every coin flip they are involved with. Take that to the bank. I suppose we could finally win this one and the #2 pick wins the lottery though.

If you look at the algorithm, the first question is, “is one of the teams the Utah Jazz?” If yes, the other team gets it. If no, then proceed to the rest of the protocol.

I just Did the lotto simulator 10 times. First 6 times the jazz got second pick, then 5th then second then 5th again. WTH????

Very similar to what I got. I only had the Jazz getting 1st once lol.

I mean, 14% would make so the most common amount of hits every 10 rolls is one.

The Jazz did win a pre-draft coin flip in 2014, such that the Jazz got the #5 pick (Exum) and the Celtics got the #6 pick (Smart).

If we're ending up flipping a coin with Washington that is disaster territory, we're flipping for 5th or 6th since we tied for last and both got jumped by 4 teams. Odds would be split for the actual lottery portion and coin flips should only decide order after that.

I know there's like a 25% of that if we end up in that scenario but thinking about this just made me sad

Isn't coin flips prior to the lottery?

Edit: It does for example impact 2nd round pick as well, plus probably ping pong balls if they're an uneven number.

The Wizards have not one, but two 16-game losing streaks this season. It's flat-out remarkable that the Jazz have tanked with these guys.

They still have games against the Sixers and Nets on their schedule as well.
