Starts up in just under an hour. In the meantime who’s got some theories and suggestions for improving the lottery. I thought that if you were to use the percentage of loss for the order rather than exact placing . That way, with Charlotte losing .894% of games they’d have a much better chance than 25% if you adjusted it based on percentage. It’d be a but more complicated yeah, but it could help all the same

Future’s will be determined in the next hour and a half, good luck to all, but unfortnatly only one team could get Anthony Davis.

The draft should correspond to a team’s standing from the past season. So, the worst team automatically gets the first pick, 2nd worst team gets the second pick, and so on. Sounds ludicrous but it might just work.

I’ve got this odd feeling that Brooklyn is gonna win the lotto…the new black/white color scheme and brand new looking logo will really ignite some excitement -_- All they need is Anthony Davis.

If it wasn’t for Sterns involvement I’d like new orelans to win. I also don’t care if Washington doesnt wins, poor decisions led to there position, not bad luck.

Has a team ever won two years in a row? If Cavs get it then they’ll have no excuse if they don’t become a force within the next 1-2 years

If the bobcats had 89.5% chance of winning how would you divide the other 10.5%? I don’t think anybody has an issue with the percentages as they are, I just think people hate that certain markets seem to beat the odds at the most convenient times.

Wow it definitely looks like Drummond cut the 20+ pounds he reeportedly lost. I think he’ll be a top 3 lock after workouts.

I didn’t mean give the whole 89.5% to the Bobcats. What I mean is, you get the percentages of the top 10 teams, add them together and divide that. That gives Charlotte a 13% chance. Doing that means you’d have to scale on position as well. It’s only a theory at the moment, very rough.

’92 and ’93 Magic: Shaq and Webber
This was the reason for (and the year before) the current system. Orlando had the best record of non playoff teams and won the lotto.
Also Charlotte defied odds and got the 2nd pick in ’92 after the first pick in ’91
These drafts were the catalyst for the change.

If cats don’t get Davis they need to at least get a pick high enough to draft T. Robinson if they are going to move forward next season

The Bobcats getting the 2nd pick really opens the door for Jordan to make a " GM Jordan" move.

Why do they have that stupid system? What was wrong with the old way? Plus it was better and more fun. Each team has balls with their logo on it…..the worst team has the most balls, the best team has the least, everyone else in between. I mean it really makes you wonder why they stopped that. Plus with everyone pretty much falling in place from the back of the lottery, it was corny. If its a lottery, let it be a real one.
