How many times has the teams with the best odds, won the #1 pick?

 

OK . . I see it has happened the last 3 years in a row.  Before then, there was a 10 year drought in which the worst record didn't get the top pick.

 

 

I appreciate you always answer your own questions in the and then bring the answer back to discuss. You aren't the only person that does that, but it adds quality to a discussion.

I'm worried less about the #1 pick and more about our downside risk if things go bad for us.  With the prelottery #1 spot the worst result is 4th.  Every spot down is another slot drop in our worst case.

I just want Bagley or Doncic. Whatever pick, I don't care.

Orlando started the year 8-4 or something close to that.  That’s a true tank.

They just have to make some small moves. Payton is not the PG for them. Augustin is

 "Look, I'm trying to make 'em understand the value of throwing games so we can replace their scrub behinds, but we wanted to go with guys that are Trae Young and... huh? What? No, I was, uh, just speaking French. Tres Young! Parlez-vous francais?"
