The scary image fans of tanking teams dread

[TiagoSimoes]

I think bottom 3 should have a draw for 1,2,3 picks.. Because serious tanking like magic or the sixers deserves to be rewarded...

its exactly the opposite, tanking should not be rewarded

The NBA teams has no integrity.

In the NFL there usually isn't a MASSIVE difference between 1st and 2nd. Or even 1st and 6th 7th like the NBA. Tanking would be way worse than it is.

I disagree. There is significant difference between those picks but the NFL roster has more room and time to determine if those players can be developed.

Because there is no true minor league system like baseball those mistakes or lack of development pretty much show instantaneously.

Nothing surprising at the numbers. The sample is too small to have any kind of serious statistical trend occur. It would literally take a few centuries under the same rule in order to have #1's separate themselves from the rest, #2's separate themselves from the rest, etc.

is all about chance

No it should be.. Cuz teams like Milwaukee who I'm not even sure is trying to tank deserves a top 3 pick... With lakers and celtics lottery bound I bet they don't even get a top 4.. They end up drafting exum and continue to have 14 win seasons...

Worst record=best prospect... It's like that in nfl for a reason

You have made my argument better than I could.

Tanking although bad is not nearly as bad as the potential for favouritism in the draft lottery or even the potential of denying a bad team a top pick.

There is a very real possibility that the bucks are just this bad.

They should get the top pick because that might help them become good one day. That in the long run is what's best for the nba.

If only every team are just as bad as their rank.

But tanking exist.

Solution?

There is no solution to tanking. Basketball will always be about individuals. Football is team sport.
