"Anthony Davis states he will only play for Kings."

well there's a piece of good news. the lottery is what it is: a lottery. charlotte set the record for most futile win/loss record (by percentage) in the history of the nba. yet its still no guarantee that they'll get the first pick in the draft. in fact, very few teams with worst-in-the-nba status have, in recent history, actually ended up with that first pick. everything's chance. its all coin flips and random selections. you can't engineer it, no matter how much "tanking" you accomplish as an organization. this is why i did not root for a single "lin" this season. the kings drafted tyreke evans at #4 in 2009, and demarcus cousins at #5 in 2010. with the right coaches and mentors, there is simply no reason that those two players cannot become the cornerstones of this franchise moving forward. i said it in 2010. i said it in 2011. i'm saying it now, and i'll continue to say it until either player is traded or walks in free agency. would it be nice to win the lottery and snag anthony davis at #1? of course. but that'd just be icing on the proverbial cake when the kings have two of the best players in the last three drafts already on their roster. either way, whoever they end up drafting is just icing on that cake...

Here is one from the NBA.

And now the numbers!

1st: 7.6%
2nd: 8.4%
3rd: 9.5%
4th: --
5th: 26.2%
6th: 38.5%
7th: 9.4%
8th: 0.4%
9th+: --

That means we've got about a 25.5% chance of getting a top-three pick. Our highest likelihood is to land at #6, and #5 or #6 is pretty likely (64.7%). The odds of dropping two spots to #7 (like we did last year) are even lower than the odds of getting #3. The odds of dropping three spots are vanishingly small.

[Npliam]

Eff. Utah has no pick this year.

Weird that with the 5th pick we have a higher chance of picking 6th than 5th.

Utah will get the Warriors pick if a team jumps them in the lottery and the pick is #8 or lower.

Yeah, looks like about a 27% shot.

[Capt. Factorial]

That's just the way it works until you get to the #6 slot. All the way down to there, given that you don't hit the lottery, the odds of at least one team jumping you are better than the odds of no teams jumping you. 6th spot and below, you're more likely to stay put.

[Npliam]

Yeah, I know but it would be nice to just have a pick for sure.

Capt, what is the probability for the 4th slot? It looks like we have a very good probability of getting a top 5 pick (interpolating what #4 would be).

[Warhawk]

We can't get the 4th. The lottery is only through 1-3, and if we don't win it either we stay at 5 or go to 6-8 if others jump ahead of us.

[Krunker]

Weird that with the 5th pick we have a higher chance of picking 6th than 5th.

I think the better way to think about it is we have about a 50% chance of getting somewhere from 1-5th.

Take that naysayers, first the coinflip, next step 1st overall.
