NBA Draft

Going to be Houston

 

[The Q]

Off the top my head, I can't think of one, but has any team outside of the top 10 ever jumped into the Top 3 in the history of the lottery? Statistically speaking, you'd think it would have to happen eventually.

Magic got Webber 1-1 fr the back of the lottery

Weren’t the Cavs like 10 or 11 one year?

 

[The Q]

My guess is San Antonio

Ugh. Anyone but them

I might even say the lakers

I’m still bitter about their tank and lies for Duncan

The 18 times the sixth best odds or worse have jumped into the top 3 of the NBA Draft Lottery

Since 1990, when the NBA Draft Lottery underwent significant reform, 18 different teams have jumped from the No. 6 odds or worse into a top-3 selection. That’s what the Bulls will be hoping for on May 15. 1990: Seattle jumps from No. 10 to No. 2 (3.6% chance) In the first year of Lottery reform...

9, so yea, not great odds.

But orlando at 11 (pre expansion) was a HUGE upset, and I forgot the Hornets got Baron Davis all the way from 13.

Not surprising......taller players tend to have a lot of foot injuries.
