I did 5 sims, and each time came out a different 1st pick.

1. Sacramento
2. OKC
3. Lakers via NO
4. Indiana
5. Detroit

This proves 100%, that Houston will fall out of the top 10. Suck it Rockets fans.

I ran a sim the other day that had the top 3 as Spurs, OKC and OKC (via Clippers). I'd almost love to see something crazy like that happen, as annoying as it would be to juice up a division rival.

This is odd experience, a draft where Minny has zero chance for a lottery pick.


I dont even know how it works for teams outside lottery, does Minnesota have any chance on slight mobility or is it fixed on 19th pick?

Seeing both Collison and Varejao on the list made me smile

Is Swin Cash-Canal (great name btw) the woman who had the 'GOD DAMN F THE WORLD' look when the Pelicans didnt move up last year? I loved that reaction, great memory. Everyone else claps and fakes being OK with it, she looked like she wanted to kill someone.

We won it with Big Ben last year, hopefully Rip brings us luck. I don't even care which pick we get, because any player in the top 6-7 will help us.

Could use some luck after missing on 80% of a top 5 pick last season.

God I hate the lottery...

That’s not how the lottery works though. At worst the Rockets get the 5th overall pick.

It'd be such a Knicks thing to move up in a year where the #1 pick doesn't seem to be as strong as it's been in the past lol

No idea if this is a serious question, but the Wolves pick is fixed. Nothing about the lottery will impact where they select.

It was a serious question :D thanks for clarifying. Minny has been in lottery for so long that I forgot the details of the non lottery picks lol


Besides that Butler playoff year when we picked Josh Okogie at 20th pick. What a wasted pick that was.

They say that about every draft. Higher pick gives you a better chance of getting a stud

Of course the Clippers will get the #1 pick since they traded it to OKC.
