The Kinder, Gentler Version
It looks like this team hasn't learned its lesson about the importance of tanking.
It doesn't really matter that much this year. There are three lotteries. Not even the worst team has great odds of picking first. There isn't a great divide between the first and second best prospect. The next handful are also totally interchangeable and even 1st overall is like 3rd or 4th overall in the last few drafts. Picking top two this year is like picking top five in recent past and picking top five is like picking top ten. Mid 1sts are like late 1sts and late 1st are like early 2nds.
