We move down from tied for 3rd to 4th and GS moves from tied for 13th to 14th Sucks, couldn't have gone any worse https://www.nba.com/news/ties-broke...ion-in-2024-nba-draft-presented-by-state-farm
In a sense the GS flip could be worse to lose than ours, only a 25% chance both us and Charlotte are outside top4 where that flip matters. But GS is dead last unless they move into the top4. Think I'm rooting for them to get 4th.
The GS pick is actually affected more so than our own. The coin flip lost us .1 to Charlotte which is pretty irrelevant, where as the GS pick dropped a spot.
It's relevant if both Charlotte and Portland fall out of the top 4, in which case our pick slots one spot lower.
Moving down from a coin flip from 3-4 cost them a tenth of one percent. 13.3 % chance instead of 13.4%. No real difference.
It's only one of a thousand ping pong ball.... But if neither team gets a top4 pick Charlotte picks first.
Technically it's 1/1000 combination of ping pong ball numbers as they don't actually have a thousand ping pong balls.
The 1st and 2nd pick in this draft are worthy. Actually the first 4 players taken might be pretty good. Are they Wenby? No, But then how many players have been that good over the last 30 years? Basketball is still a team sport. Last I checked the best teams win games and compete for rings.
