Here's one:

Let's say GS is 7th worst.
The only way GS gets the 8th pick is if a team from 8th-14th worst jumps ahead to the top 3, correct?

Correct. IMO there's a slim hope if they finish 7th. 6th or worse then then odds are like really bad.

If my math is right, there's a 29.5% chance that any kind of a jump happens for a team that is 8th-12th worst.

I hope that math is right, since that would be a lot better than a slim chance. I'm guessing the odds of two teams jumping is like 5%, but that's just a wild guess since I don't want to do the math haha.

It looks right to me. Seeds 1-3 have a total 167% chance out of 300% to get that 1-3 spot,
OR 55.67% chance that a 1-3 seed gets a 1-3 spot.

Seeds 8-14 all have like <3% chance at those spots, but it adds up quite a bit.

Have you watched them play? All Jefferson does is shoot every time he touches the ball. He gives them scoring talent, but he provides no veteran experience to them whatsoever.

off the court things, locker room etc. and he is not the worst shooter on the world, he is an updrade for sure
Problem is they have very tough schedule and cleary their FO want their pick back. i hope Cavs will tank better, and Detroit and Sacramento will be worse. or we will have luck in the lottery.
having NO picks this year will put us as first round playoff exit team for 5 years

Here's a good summary table:

Looks like it's a 25% chance that the 7th seed falls to 8th, 9th, or 10th.

For a second there I thought this was about idaho.

The Warriors lost to NOH at home, now face the Nets at home. It's time to put the W in Ws.

Golden State is is going to have to win a few unexpected games. They have about a 2-3 game lead and one game left they should win after tonight. There are 4 teams in the Eastern conference within 3 games of them. These teams will play each other and one has to win. The best the Jazz can hope for is that they are tied with a few other teams and lose the coin toss and drop to the 8th pick or lower, or a team jumping them in the lottery. They gave up a 14 point lead going into the 4th quarter at home tonight. I hate GS right now. The Jazz losing tonight is a good thing, because I officially want them to not make the playoffs, cause otherwise they won't get a pick this year.
