Odds of the team that landed the number one pick:
This makes sense that Cleveland won the top spot. They ended up 24-58, finishing with the third worse record. Cleveland had a 15.6% chance of winning the lottery, only passing the Magic and the Bobcats to get there. However, they selected Anthony Bennett, who was also included in the deal for Kevin Love.
Where did the fourth worst record in the league land in the draft:
The Phoenix Suns finished with a record right under the Cavs at 25-57, earning the fourth worst spot. The Suns got jumped by Cleveland and Washington on lottery day, sending them down to the 5th spot in the lottery. Phoenix ended up taking Alex Len, who has been hampered by injuries so far in his career.
