Thank Nation! Pre-Lottery: Denver 9th, NY pick 7th (PART 4)

[free]

1. Go and watch the Friday Night Lights movie immediately.

2. You flip 3 coins, until you have an odd one out. The odd one out gets the 8th pick. It is then a coin toss between 2.

really hope toronto picks second in the 2016 nba draft

[LegendaryXD]

Amazing assets management. One of the top NBA teams and two first round draft picks this year (one lottery) and two next year as well.

Damn Masai, well done

Raptors have a 1% chance of getting a top 3 pick in the draft.

[BackseatBoss]

I mean last time we had to go to a coin toss, we all know what happened... However, this season it's different. This season Raptors are a force in the league. We have the 4th best record in the league. We got really lucky with our rookies this year. We got the best opponent for the playoffs possible. This is just a really good year for us, so I believe that the coin toss gods will be with us.

We can't get the #1 pic, Denver exercises their option to switch after the lotto is done.

Still though, imagine drafting Ingram?

Oh mama, hold me.

Do we know if the coin toss is supervised by a third party? The 8 to 10 slots can matter quite a bit.

Its supervised by every team involved that is not that Raptors.

[hyper316]

Double coin toss ross

[SHFT]

Hoping the coin flips our way......I also totally forgot Boston has Brooklyns pick this year that team is going to be scary good

[0 - 100]

Let's hope we get 8th and at the very least 9th. One time

[Mysticist]

Why is everyone assuming that there'll be a coin toss on tie breakers ?

http://stats.nba.com/playoffpicture

TIEBREAKER BASIS FOR TWO-WAY TIES:

(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Head-to-head won-lost percentage
(2) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(3) Division won-lost percentage for teams in the same division
(4) Conference won-lost percentage
(5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(6) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(7) Net Points, all games

TIEBREAKER BASIS FOR MULTI-WAY TIES:

(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage
(3) Division won-lost percentage for teams in the same division
(4) Conference won-lost percentage
(5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(6) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(7) Net Points, all games

but this is the likely outcome

That's for playoff seeding, not draft order.

Yes, it is supervised by the same auditing firm that will handle the lottery. If the three-way tie breaking procedure is the same as in 2014 when there last was a three way tie, they first draw a winner from the three, then do it over again between the remaining two.

Sorry it didn't paste properly. Hope it's not too hard to follow.

[MEDIC]

I really like Murray & Jackson.......Heild as well, but man........with the development of Powell & Wright it is really difficult to find minutes for this many small guards. I think Cojo would definitely have to be dealt. You could deal Ross, but the guy is 6'7" & can play some SF for you......plus his shot is money.

I think the best possible situation for us (other than winning the lottery) is for Jaylen Brown to fall. We definitely need a legit SF prospect.....probably more than a PF.

Gonna be an interesting draft. One of these picks will be dealt for sure. Possibly 2 of them. There just isn't enough roster spots. It's a good problem to have & I don't think it's a problem the Raptors have ever had before.
