Statistical proof NOLA has best statistical odds to win #1 pick w/ 3rd best odds

Statistical evidence shows that odds are against the 1st and 2nd pick to win the 1st pick lotto ball. Odds are they only have 44.9% chance of getting selected.
That leaves a bigger number of 55.1% chance another remaining team will get selected.
Of these remaining teams, NOLA will have the highest of odds of winning the lotto ball with the 3rd pick of 15.6% and the T wolves pick will only increase these odds.
Statistical evidence we are in the driver's seat.

Having Minnesota's picks definitely help, but I don't think that statistically we have the best chance.
I would say, that we have a pretty good chance at that spot.

actually we still have a 15.6% chance (so not good). The reason that the 1st and 2nd worst teams only get the pick 44.9% of the time is because if you add up the chances for the rest of the field, it would be greater than their chances to get the first pick. And just because historically they havent won the 1st pick, that doesnt lessen their chances of getting it. Its like that board near the roulette tables listing the numbers that have won recently, just because they won in the past doesnt change the chance on where the ball lands next. If i was forced to bet, i would go with 1 or 2 rather than 3
