Since 2005, the number 3 spot/2 spot has picked:

1st: 2 times/0 times
2nd: 0 times/2 times
3rd: 4 times/2 times
4th: 2 times/6 times
5th: 3 times/2 times
6th: 1 time/0 times
These are the numbers since the percentages changed to what they currently are.
Thanks guys. Not good. Pretty much mirrors what I've been seeing from these simulators. I guess I'll just have to assume we'll get 5th so I can be "pleasantly" surprised when we get 4th. :cry:

No doubt, that's how I've been feeling lately.

:) Sure, I say that now but I'm still going to be pissed if we don't get a top 3 pick! :x Oh, the torture! Just for once give us a frickin' bone!!!

The simulators and past lotteries are only useful when you want to estimate the percentages to get different picks. Since the odds are known anyway it's all pointless, we already know all there is to know about it.


Unless it's rigged :-)

That's why my Sig assumes we don't get a top 3 pick.

Just accept that we are a mortal lock to get the 4th pick. New York, LA, and Boston all have high lotto ball counts. There is no way we are staying ahead of any of them.

Wait, am I wrong for always having read that as Superb one? Always thought he just a little full of himself... :shock:

Well. Kind of. I've never had or played a superbone. But loved Superman comics as a kid and I play the trombone. It was what I came up with for my CB handle way back in the day when I was a kid on a road trip. However, I was aware of the instrument at the time. But yeah, my alias is read as SUPER-bone. Also, I should add, I was innocent to other connotations of the word at the time. So now you have my origin story. :)

Eh, I'm not so sure. You've spread it pretty thin already. :P

BTW, I was going to give you 1.5 out of 10 but then I had to bump it up a point for pushing the boundaries so far, so 2.5 out of 10. :P

Has anybody noticed that Superbone looks a lot like Devin Booker??
