The NBA draft lottery is tonight and will determine which team year long tanking will finally pay off. The 14 teams that will be represented at this years lottery are listed below, with their percentage to actually win the lottery. For teams such as the Timeberwolves, Knicks, and Sixers the embarrassing basketball that has been played will hopefully be worth it.
The NBA season is almost at a close, but for some teams such as: the New York Knicks, Los Angles Lakers, and the Philadelphia 76ers, their seasons ended before the start of 2015 calendar year. These teams are looking towards these three dates for them to turn it around. The first April 26th, that is the deadline for all underclassmen to declare for the NBA draft. Teams will wait with anticipation for names such as Jahlil Okafor and Karl Anthony-Towns to end their college vacation, and enter the draft. The second date of importance is May 19th. That is the NBA draft lottery which will determine the order of the draft. The months of tanking that have taken place will hopefully end in the joy of a top-3 pick for certain teams. This date typically leads to small amounts of joy an a enormous amount of regret. Once the whipping of tears is finished, the last date of true relevance is the actual draft, which will take place on June 25th.
General Mangers will again and again try and out think the process of simply drafting and developing a player for years to come. Instead they will try and please their fan base with a proven commodity who clearly has false in their game, but can provide ticket sales. At the end of the day the GM’s are just playing a big game of Wheel of Fortune. Risk is the main player in these because there is no guarantee that any of these dates will prove to be a benefit towards you club. With the risk of having every thing fall apart at just the flick of the wrist. So for fans of the Knicks, Lakers, and 76ers get ready, because its almost you time to spin the wheel. Good Luck.
