The Kings better be careful.
ONE more Win and we can go from #8 in the draft to #11 and no more draft pick!!!
Even if tied with all 3 of Denver, Milwaulkee, and Orlando, its still a coin flip process that would leave us only a 25% chance of losing the pick. So;
If we go 0-5 = keep pick
If we go 1-4, and Denver, Milwaulkee and Orlando go 0-4, 0-6, and 0-6 (highly unlikely), we would have a 25% of losing the pick.
If we go 1-4 and ANY of Denver, Milwaulkee, or Orlando win at least 1 game, then we keep the pick.
If we go 2-3, and Denver, Milwaulkee and Orlando go 0-4, 0-6, and 0-6 (highly unlikely), we would lose the pick
If we go 2-3, and some or all of Denver. Milwaulkee or Orlando win 1 game, but none win more than 1 game, we have a 25%, 33% or 50% of losing the pick.
If we go 2-3, and ANY of Denver, Milwaulkee or Orlando win 2 or more games (2-2 for Den, 2-4 for Mil or Orlando) then we keep the pick.
We have to see how everybody's tanking goes, but unless we go 3-2 there's a strong chance we keep the pick. Of course with Boogie playing home games, and a final game against a miserably unpredictable Houston team that might have already been eliminated, 3-2 is not out of the question.
