NBA Draft Lottery Results


The NBA Draft Lottery, much anticipated in the Charlotte community, finally came, and to many peoples surprise the best team did not win the first pick. This brings up many more concerns by fans that the NBA rigs the lottery, and some even think they are rigging the playoffs. Instead the first pick went to a team that just lost their superstar so he could go pursue a ring in a larger market. Sound familiar? The past two winners of the lottery both gained such "luck" after losing their franchise players. The Cleveland Cavaliers and now the lowly New Orleans Hornets. Thats right, New Orleans is back on the map as they get a chance to pick the consensus number top player in the draft, Anthony Davis out of Kentucky. This guy is looks to me to be a  great pro as long as he can bulk up a bit and maintain that quickness. But enough about the Hornets below is the rest of the picking order for the 2012 NBA Draft.


Pick #1: New Orleans Hornets 

13.7% Chance 




Pick #2: Charlotte Bobcats

25% Chance






Pick #3: Washington Wizards

19.9% Chance






Pick #4: Cleveland Cavs

13.8% Chance 



Pick #5: Sacramento Kings

7.6% Chance





Pick #6: Portland Trailblazers 

7.5% Chance





Pick #7: Golden State Warriors

3.6% Chance






Pick #8: Toronto Raptors

3.5% Chance





Pick #9: Detroit Pistons

1.7% Chance





Pick #10: New Orleans Hornets

1.1% Chance







Pick #11: Portland Trailblazers

0.8% Chance





Pick #12: Milwaukee Bucks

0.7% Chance 




Pick #13: Phoenix Suns

0.6% Chance



Pick #14: Houston Rockets

0.5% Chance






So did the NBA fix the lottery?  Or do you believe the Hornets should pick anyone other than Anthony Davis. If so let me know in the comments, and I will have a mock draft ready soon.

  1. The NBA is totally rigged. The only reson for the Draft Lottery is so David Stern can continue to maintain control over the league
