Draft Lottery Predictions 

Post#1 » by Howard Mass » Tue May 16, 2017 7:25 pm

Everyone,

Tonight is the big night.

Here is my prediction

1) Phoenix
2) Orlando
3) Boston (Via Brooklyn)

Magic also get The Lakers 2019 1st UNPROTECTED.

It will be a heart-pounding couple of minutes as the picks are announced.

I just hope they do not drop and a team with strong young talent like Minnesota does not get stronger.

Here is hoping for the best although my luck has been horrible on The Lottery Simulator.

Ive had decent luck on the simulator. The first time I ran it Orlando came in first, and in all the Magic won the 1st pick on three separate tries over the course of the off season which was crazy. We'll see, I'm fully expecting the basketball gods to hit us with the worst possible outcome tonight just to round out our season.

Hoping we land top 3, expecting 76ers to "process" 2 top 6 picks and Magic get 6th and LA 2019 1st rounder.

If we're not called at #6 shots of tequila and unrealistic expectations dead ahead.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

As they're reading the picks if any team is skipped then we likely drop...correct?

If 1 team is skipped then potentially, we can jump as well as another though

Correct, our odds would decrease substantially for top 3 pick and our odds of dropping increase if 1 team and especially 2 teams are skipped...but let us not bring this sort of negativity to the room! ;)

On a glass-half-full note...if teams start getting skipped it also means the Lakers' odds of getting a top 3 pick drop dramatically too, so that would be good for us in two years.
