No ... worst case is #7 but
that is only if 3 teams below the Jazz jump them in the lottery.

Yep. Jazz won the tiebreaker with the Celtics a few minutes ago.

They already held the lottery too?

Of course not but at least
ManicBlue
4/18/14 12:59pm
They get 104 vs 103 balls.

They get 4th most ping pong balls. Not 4th pick

There's my answer.

It still gives them a better starting point prior to the draft

Doesn't the lottery just determine the top 3 spots?

I think worst case is 6, no?

Ah, got it. Thanks.

Right and the chances that 3 teams below them all jump up are pretty small

Does this have any effect on their odds of winning the lottery?

Jazz get one extra ping pong ball too!

I see. This explains it (from wikipedia):
AndyDwyer
4/18/14 12:58pm
Slightly: 103 vs 104 balls
BlueNeptune

Jazz won't pick any worse than 7, Celts no lower than 8.
Tokolosh
4/18/14 12:58pm
Gotta stay in that top 4- Parker, Wiggins, Randle, Embiid
ChopperDave
4/18/14 12:57pm
w/ Randle or Embiid, do we trade Favors, Kanter, or the newly drafted big man?
coug203
4/18/14 12:59pm
SI Mock Draft had them taking Exum instead of Randle.
AndyDwyer
4/18/14 1:00pm
I don't think Randle is any better then Exum, Smart, or Gordon. Time will tell

That will make TNT happy

When do they draw for the lottery picks?

May 20. Fast and pray for ping pong balls.

Stern will see to it that the Celtics and/or Lakers slide up.

Stern has retired
ManicBlue
4/18/14 1:02pm
That's what he wants you to think.

Um yeah.... and so did Putin.

The top 3 was there for the Jazz. They just had to pull off a last second win
AndyDwyer
4/18/14 1:04pm
Regardless of draft position the Jazz will...
Zach Morris
4/18/14 1:18pm
Does Kanter have very little upside? Trey Burke? Oh wait he's not white.
SandYFan
4/18/14 1:23pm
Ostertag, Koufos, Fesenko, Hayward... Shall I continue?
Zach Morris
4/18/14 1:25pm
None of whom were bad picks.

Actually not a bad point, on some of them.
AndyDwyer
4/18/14 2:30pm
You can always point to someone drafted later who turned out better.
Scratch
4/18/14 2:38pm
I agree, the draft is an expensive crapshoot. So has Hayward produced more
AndyDwyer
4/18/14 2:49pm
I would guess that it's more, and by a fair amount.

I was actually very impressed with Dennis Lindsey's first draft last year
