Here is a breakdown from ChatGPT first showing the 2nd spot and what the result was and then what the 1st spot results since the new odds

Since the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery reform, here’s how the second-worst team finished in the draft lottery, including 2024:
• 2019: Cleveland Cavaliers (19-63) → 5th pick
• 2020: Golden State Warriors (15-50) → 2nd pick
• 2021: Houston Rockets (17-55) → 2nd pick
• 2022: Houston Rockets (20-62) → 3rd pick
• 2023: San Antonio Spurs (22-60) → 1st pick
• 2024: Washington Wizards (15-67) → 2nd pick

Between 2019 and 2024, the team with the worst record entering the NBA Draft Lottery received the 5th pick once, in 2024. Here’s a breakdown of their lottery outcomes during this period:
• 2019: New York Knicks (17-65) → 3rd pick
• 2020: Golden State Warriors (15-50) → 2nd pick
• 2021: Houston Rockets (17-55) → 2nd pick
• 2022: Houston Rockets (20-62) → 3rd pick
• 2023: Detroit Pistons (17-65) → 1st pick
• 2024: Detroit Pistons (14-68) → 5th pick

Looks like having the second or worst record resulted in many picks that I want the jazz to have this upcoming draft. Encouraging. Mostly 2nd and 3rd picks with couple firsts and fifths sprinkled in.
 
If I were offered Flagg, boozer, Peterson, or Dybantsa right now and next season we had to give our pick to OKC regardless then I would pick Flagg.

Maybe too early to fully trust ChatGPT? (Or just a typo?)

Both Spurs and Pistons had first pick in 2023?

I've been using Grok more. ChatGPT has lots and lots of errors on really, really simple and basic things that you really have to proof read over. I haven't seen as much of that same tendency with Grok, but I'm still maybe a month into using that almost exclusively so maybe I'll pick up more on it over time.
 
Well, since the Pels were outscored by the Wolves by 37 over two games, at least they were kind enough to win the first, before getting blown out by 41 tonight.

Looking at all that and we should finish dead last or 2nd to dead last with an absolute worst case scenario 3rd worst.

Very difficult for me to see us to win 3 more games let alone gain 3 more games on NOP, so yeah our floor is 3 at the moment, which is pretty incredible.

That game against Charlotte will end up going a long way to determine who gets number 2.

There is still a chance at #1, for sure.

I would put our odds at something like, 24% #1, 50%#2, 25%#3, 1% #4

Yeah, it's a three-horse race now.

Agree.. I think 3 is the floor. Helps that NOP and Hornets play each other one more time. If we win the Hornets game I think we end up tied for 2. Lose that one and I think we get #2 by ourselves.
 
I'd like us to do well (poor) enough that we can get to that last game against Minny and try to win (if it means something to their play in seeding).
 
I am hoping we have the #2 pick solidified so we can go all put to beat the Wolves last game of the year. I wpuld love to get the win and drop the Wolves down in the rankings for a better pick from us.

I hate to say it bit I am rooting for an edwards sprained ankle. I feel bad typing it but I'll live.
