2019 Draft Lottery

[Ian Noble]

2019 Draft Lottery
On Saturday the Lottery will be simmed.

The results of the lottery will continue to be posted as the Playoffs progress. A new team will be added to the bottom of the list every day until the top two spots have been confirmed.

The lottery will be simmed using D5's Draft Lottery Simulator (originally created by Josh Barber).

Once the lottery is finished the 2019 Rookie Draft can begin, without time limits on picks until after the real NBA draft starts on June 20th.

Tie-breakers were decided here.

The Draft Lottery will soon be simmed and the results posted once a day as the Playoffs progress.

[George Gervin]

The wait for Zion’s landing spot begins

[Jerry West]

I'm not greedy, I'll accept the 4th pick

[Steve Nash]

*Knocks wood while crossing fingers*

[Ian Noble]

Interesting that the team with the highest chance of the #1 pick is the New Orleans Pelicans (16.5%) by holding the 5th and 8th spots.

Edit: Pelicans are also the only team with a better than 50% chance of landing in the Top 4

Zion with Trae and Triple J is a super intriguing sub-20 core if that happens

Many thanks to Jerry West for remoting onto my screenshare as I simmed this year's lottery! I also recorded the lottery and will upload it after posting these results.

And so, without further delay!

Will 2018 repeat itself with my pick tomorrow, and a jump into the top 3 again from wayyyyyy back in the lottery? Or will the final tally of the Pistons-Spurs top 2 swap last year be Luka + pick 13 for Ayton and 20-30 Memphis pick?

Yes, but you need to create a Stock Watch thread to have them created first.

Fair point, but the drama and chaos is more fun to watch play out
