Interesting article from Marc Stein about the Jazz and whether it's too late for them to tank because of their hot start to the season. Definitely worth the read.

When it's too late to Brick For Vic
Are the Utah Jazz, who entered the week at 12-6, too good now to find a pathway to the No. 1 overall pick in June's NBA Draft? History says very likely "yes"

As confirmed by Adams' research: Since 1983-84, when the NBA expanded its playoff format to eight teams per conference, 111 teams have started precisely at 12-6.
No less than 101 of those 111 reached the playoffs.
The 10 that fell short, furthermore, won at least 33 games ... while combining to win an average of 39 games. With even a total as low as 33 wins, it would take something stronger than mere good luck for #thisjazz to win the No. 1 overall pick in the lottery in May and have a clear shot at drafting Wembanyama.
