Second round is in the first post, too.

Yeah I was just guessing how tiebreakers would pan out.

 

[EPIC FAIL GILDERHUS]

Kings got screwed by the draft lottery...seems like the worst team in the league hardly ever gets the top pick; and often drops out of the top 3. Good incentive for teams NOT to tank the rest of the season.

 

[julius]

wait, we have 3 picks in a row? 54, 55, 56?

 

[BrianFromWA]

54 is Charlotte Bobcats (From SAS). We have 55 and 56 (according to Draft Express)

Only 2 times in the past 20 years has the team with the worst record won. I believe the draft lotto achieves it's goal. To keep teams from tanking. If you haven't learned by now, you will never learn. The facts are, chances are against the team with the worst record to get the #1 pick, 75% chance they will not get it.

Probably why he said "good incentive not to tank"

However, the process is still a lottery and is based completely on chance. If I'm a team going into it, I'd still like the most odds.

agreed there. Its easy to say that there is a %75 chance that they dont get it.. but the odds are even worse for the other teams. like %83 chance that they dont, and so on.

Yea that is a mixed bag. If you are loosing too much, free agents don't want to play for your team. Not any you want anyhow. On the other hand, if you look at the teams that have won, most of them have either struck gold with a #1 draft pick, or traded for a player who was a #1 draft pick. The exceptions over recent years being Detroit and Boston. The only reason KG wasn't picked #1 then, was you didn't pick high schoolers #1 back then. The only teams that really haven't struck gold with the #1, are the teams that blew their pick.

Oops my bad we only have 4 second rounders KP better trade for some extras.
