I'm sure the Jazz will find a way to screw this up and draft the next Darko.

Jazz get the #4 pick

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

They already held the lottery too?

Tokolosh

4/18/14 12:55pm

Of course not but at least

ManicBlue

4/18/14 12:59pm

They get 104 vs 103 balls.

BlueNeptune

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

BlueFrog

There's my answer.

Tokolosh

4/18/14 12:55pm

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

ManicBlue

4/18/14 1:00pm

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

dilbert

4/18/14 1:01pm

No ... worst case is #7 but

ManicBlue

4/18/14 1:03pm

I think worst case is 6, no?

4+3=7 #mathishard

Ah, got it. Thanks.

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

ManicBlue

4/18/14 1:16pm

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

AndyDwyer

4/18/14 12:55pm

Jazz get one extra ping pong ball too!

LiveCoug

4/18/14 12:57pm

I see. This explains it (from wikipedia):

AndyDwyer

4/18/14 12:58pm

Slightly: 103 vs 104 balls

BlueNeptune

4/18/14 12:57pm

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?

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

4mack

4/18/14 1:00pm

That will make TNT happy

4/18/14 12:59pm

When do they draw for the lottery picks?

cucciolo25

4/18/14 1:00pm

May 20. Fast and pray for ping pong balls.

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

yorksama

4/18/14 1:01pm

Stern has retired

ManicBlue

4/18/14 1:02pm

That's what he wants you to think.

yorksama

4/18/14 1:03pm

Um yeah.... and so did Putin.

4/18/14 1:45pm

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.

Scratch

4/18/14 1:35pm

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.

Scratch

4/18/14 2:57pm

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