I suspect San Antonio or Dallas beat the odds to be in the top 3

WAS, CLT and BK
WAS and CLT because they've suffered enough, BK because Harden and Morey did them dirty

12 teams mentioned and not the team with the 7th best odds?

Re: Which 3 teams would you like to end up top 3 tonight? (Excluding your own team)
lol @ toronto not being an option
Spurs are the obvious #1 choice, they could build a dynasty
Portland is my sneaky #2 choice. Young team that showed growth this season, could be a good fit with Sharpe and Henderson

Rooting for Portland because I like that they didn’t full on tank and I have some good friends that are Blazers fans. Also Utah because I live here and the Celtic connection with Ainge. Charlotte because damn, they need something good. SA or Houston would be really interesting.

Washington, Brooklyn and Chicago.
Washington because I have liked their moves in recent times, they have sucked for ages and they don't have a face of the franchise.
Brooklyn because I feel like they have mostly made good or at least understandable decisions with bad luck during Marks' tenure, they don't have a face of the franchise and I liked the way they tanked.
Chicago because they tried to win and because I think that with one stud player they could becoming a blossoming young core and future threat, while also having a very clear void for that one stud player to fit in to. A top 3 pick in Chicago should immediately make the starting line up and have a chance to usurp his team mates. On the other hand a team like Portland has weird log jams everywhere. I wouldn't begrudge Portland getting good luck, it just doesn't feel like the runway is open in the same way as many other lottery teams. I feel similarly about the Raptors.

Re: Which 3 teams would you like to end up top 3 tonight? (Excluding your own team)
I kinda like what the Wizards have brewing...like Coulibaly as a rook and they seemed to ahve a good haul last draft. Would be fun for the Nets not to suck. Then I waffled between IQ & RJ's new team, and the local Chicago Bulls. Voted for WSH / BKN / TOR, but would be cool with the Bulls joining them to round of the top 4.

Better question: why did OP use "CLT" for Charlotte?

Re: Which 3 teams would you like to end up top 3 tonight? (Excluding your own team)
Collectively I kind of want some of the top talent to go to the East for once (seriously, if you look at the truly elite rated prospects since LeBron, they almost always get drafted West) , but then I go through the teams individually and the only ones I'm really cool with getting Flagg are Washington and maybe Chicago. Voted Washington, Portland, Utah. I've always had a soft spot for Portland, and Utah getting the first #1 Caucasian-American prospect in ages would be funny to me.

Re: Which 3 teams would you like to end up top 3 tonight? (Excluding your own team)
Charlotte and Washington would be my clear top 2 because they're in the East and could really use a boost in excitement with a number one pick who is playing at a college relatively local to both places. Then maybe I don't know, maybe Utah because that franchise still hasn't won a championship and it would trigger some people to see them get rewarded because they tanked the most shamelessly. I would've said Brooklyn if they were still in New Jersey

He was definitely thinking about landing strips.
