    But doesn’t improve the odds of getting a top 4 or 5 pick if the ping pong balls don’t go our way?

    I believe it limits how far we can fall, like #1 worst record can fall as far #5 pick, #2 worst record and #6, and so forth.

    According to Tankathon the Worst 3 are secure. As long as OKC keeps on winning.

    I checked, it gives you better odds for the 5th pick, you would not fall to 6th place.
    The 2nd worst record could fall to 6th place but not further.
    The 3rd worst recod could fall to 7th place but not further.

    All 3 in the Worst Ranking possess the same odds for the 4th pick though.

    1. 5th pick odds: 47.86%
    2. 5th pick odds: 27.84%
    3. 5th pick odds: 14.84%

    Thanks, that was what I was getting at. It would be better to be in the number 1 slot if the ping pong balls go against us and we miss out on a top 3 pick.

    The worst record is always the best spot (if you don't count lottery protections. lol.).

    Still a huge benefit in insuring you land a top 5 pick

    might be what the FO told the team, give it your all in the first quarter then slowly start throwing the game
