Do you guys think that a bottom 3 team is going to win the lottery this year? I believe that the odds are that it's going to be outside the bottom 3.
Yeah there’s a 58% chance of it being a team outside the bottom 3.
But... a bottom 3 team has a greater chance of winning than a team outside the bottom 3. Mind-bender!
Well there are 11 teams outside the bottom 3 and only 3 teams in the bottom 3

I was just thinking that the last 4 lotteries(MIN, PHI, BKL, PHX) were won by the team with the worst record or highest odds, if you were bettor would you think that one of the bottom 3 with the same odds wins this year or think the field wins this time?

Yes, but bottom 3 is where you want to be for best draft position.

Right, just explaining why there’s a better chance a team from outside the bottom 3 gets the top pick. There are 11 of them.

My first two Tankathon runs for the next draft:

1st: Washington moves up 7 spots to nab Zion. We move down to 5 and select somebody I've never heard of.

2nd: We get #1 and get Zion! Yeah, baby!

Ja Morant was really impressive against Belmont. I had some John-Wall basketball concerns with him, but now I'm really only concerned about his personality. He seems too much of his own cheerleader, and I'm not sure he's coachable either (just a gut feeling, though).

Inf, are you at all concerned with his lack of competition that he's going up against? I guess we will get to see more of him in the tourney.

I think if we don't get 1 we are going to trade the pick for a veteran PG.

Oh, oh. I haven't seen him play but had only heard good things until now.

Mild concerns, 'bone. I'm not saying pass on him. It does give me pause. But I may be wrong.

Oh, and Dylan Windler is awesome. I'd move up from the second round to get him.

Another random draft thought: I would draft Jarrett Culver over RJ Barrett.

How do you think he’ll hold up defensively?
