    "5. HOW OFTEN DOES A LONG-SHOT COME IN?

    Under the current format in place since ’94, only six teams slotted seventh or lower have moved up to the top three. The most recent time it happened was last year, when Cleveland owned the Clippers’ pick and moved from No. 8 to No. 1 and took Kyrie Irving.

    The team slotted 14th has never moved up,
    the No. 13 team has moved up only once (Charlotte to 3rd in 1999),
    the No. 12 team has never hit,
    the No. 11 team has moved up only once (Orlando, 1993, No. 1 overall),
    the No. 10 pick has moved up once (1990, Charlotte, to 2nd),
    the No. 9 pick has moved up once (Chicago, 2009, to No. 1 overall);
    and last year was the first time the No. 8 pick moved up to No. 1."


    This is what the Houston fans would want to hear tonight..

    ..The 14th pick goes to..the Phoenix Suns!

    May the Basketball Gods help us!

    Hopefully CP25 can give us some much needed luck.

    Landing #1 would be like winning that megamillions that one time, right? Similar chances of happening?

    Good lord no. It's more akin to getting 4 numbers out of 6 in a lottery. It's mainly the 1 lottery per year nature that makes it so rare. It's unlikely that even our great grandkids will see a 14 getting #1 in the current system.
