re: NBADraft.net Hornets lottery selection

Not that this will happen but I did some research on which team won the lottery the most in the last 28 years of the lottery:

the team that finished 3rd worst has won the lottery = 21.4%
the team that finished 5th worst has won the lottery = 17.86 %
the team that finished last and second worst won the lottery = 14.3% (same percentage for each)
the team that finished 6th worst has won the lottery = 10.7%
the team that finished 7th worst has won the lottery = 7.1 %
the team that finished 4th, 8th, 9th, and 11th has won the lottery = 3.57% (same percentage for each)

the Hornets and Cavs tied this past year and the Hornets were considered 3rd in this statistic and in 2003 the Cavs tied the Pistons with worst record (drafting LBJ) and they are considered last in this statistic

anyway this isnt that important i just thought i was interesting to see what spot gets picked the most in the brief history of the lottery system
