NBA Draft Lottery is just screwed up.

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) May 30 '12, 08:08

Charlotte finished 7-59 this year.

Chance of Charlotte of getting the #1 pick: about 25%

Chance of Charlotte getting the #4 pick: about 36%

It's a pretty crappy way to handle the draft. - Krusty May 30, 08:41
It "solves" a phantom problem. I hate everything about it. -- nm - David, Treachery Specialist May 30, 08:37
I think I get it. (Some light math inside.) - Was Bar Was May 30, 08:32
it dis-incentivizes outright tanking -- nm - prayformojo May 30, 08:12 4
- If ownership wants to tank, let them. -- nm - Strongbad May 30, 08:15 3
  - they can tank all they want. just don't automatically reward them with the #1 -- nm - prayformojo May 30, 08:16 2
    - I don't like the tanking for the pick but the worst team shouldn't end up with the fourth pick behind - Krusty May 30, 08:45
    - and they should have to refund money to season ticket holders as well -- nm - Beaker May 30, 08:16
yes. I like the way the NHL does it way better -- nm - Beaker May 30, 08:10
25% among how many teams? - Spawn May 30, 08:09 3
- 14, which is the highest. - Strongbad May 30, 08:10 2
  - That is what you get for throwing the season. -- nm - Spawn May 30, 08:12 1
    - to be fair, with Jordan I don't think he actually tried to tank the season -- nm - Beaker May 30, 08:22
