Re: Draft Pick...yes or no?
Quote:
A league spokesman said Tuesday they will cut open a basketball, place two ping-pong balls inside -- one for each team -- close the ball, shake it up and NBA executive Stu Jackson will pull one out.
The winner will earn the 11th slot in the lottery. The loser will get the 12th slot.
The difference? Not much. The 11th slot will receive eight combinations out of 1,000 and has a 0.80 percent chance of winning the top pick in the lottery, 0.95 for the second and 1.15 for the third. The 12th slot will receive seven combinations. Its odds are 0.70, 0.83 and 1.01.
