Worst record in the league has a 14% chance at the number one pick.
Tanking properly isn't actually a thing anymore. Winning the lottery is all luck and tanking properly equates to very slightly increasing your poor odds of a #1 pick.
I mean, this is kind of true, but Sexton and Markkanen are also going to hate playing here and end up playing with minimal passion if our goal is "let's just miss the playoffs and hope we get really lucky!"
It will also reduce their value by a good bit, reducing the amount of potential good picks we could have.
The bad odds for the #1 pick do mean that most rebuilds nowadays have to be 5-7 year rebuilds.
The Jazz also owe a top 10 protected pick next year and top 8 the year after so they would have to do aggressive post ASB tanking two years in a row.
