If we jump into the top 3 I'm going to demand that MKG post a video on instagram of himself dancing to DJ Khaled "All I do is Win."

Good luck brethren. I hope Charlotte move up into the top-5 for the sake of good forturne, but then again I don't because the player that I hope they select for the betterment of the roster is in the #7-13 range

This has been my thought while reading this whole thread.

Thereabouts, because that 8th pick is probably McDermott, LaVine, Vonleh, or another player that doesn't really help them immediately. I'm perfectly happy that we got Vonleh though. If I had to pick between what I saw in Vonleh last year and what I see in this years crop picks 6-10, I'm taking Vonleh.

I would love to take a guy like Justice Winslow but I think we should trade back and try and pick him up. I think he has a good upside. Not a star but could be a very solid player

Horrible comparison.

right. I think he has better defense and boozer will prolly be the sightly better offensive player. I think Okafor will spend most of his career injured for some reason. Hope not tho

Wait, are you saying you want to trade back from 9 and take Winslow? You mean, like, trade back to 12 or 15 or so?

If you don't like or don't want to read meaningless **** then just stop here. Because I wasted a lot of time on a lot of meaningless **** and I'm about to write about it.

I ran the draft lottery 500 times on ESPN. Yes **** times. I also kept track of how many times each team finished. Obviously because I ran it so many times, the percentages basically won out. But I compared each teams position based on what the percentages should have been.

Orlando landed the first pick 2.5% more than it should have. Denver was 2nd followed by Minnesota at 3rd. The Hornets landed it 0.5% less than it should have. Sacramento was last at 1.7% less.

The Hornets were actually third in landing a top 3 pick at 1.5% more. Orlando led with 3.4% and Sacramento was 2nd with 2.1% more. This was the same for moving up in the draft. Detroit was the worst in moving up at 2.1% less.

The Hornets were tied for second in dropping in the draft at 3.0% less than it should have, Sac was first at 3.2% less. The Knicks were by far the highest team to drop more at 3.8% more than it should have.

Orlando getting the 7th pick was the pick that happened more than it should have. Orlando keeping their 5th pick happened less than it should have the most. The Hornets pick that occurred more than it should have was the third pick, the least was the 10th pick.

Now here's to hoping the stuff that actually matters gets us what we want. LETS MOVE UP FOR ONCE.
