This explains why we have a better chance at the 4th pick than 2nd. If the Bucks win the lottery and get the 1st pick we will still have the best chance at getting the 2nd pick and then if necessary the third pick. After that it's no more lottery and the remaining teams get the rest of the picks based on their record. So if we don't win any lottery for the first, second, or third pick we would be given the fourth pick. (Unless the Bucks didn't win the first, second, or third either they would get fourth and we would get fifth).
Yup, worst-case scenario is the Pelicans luck into a top 3 pick along with two other non-Milwaukee teams. That would push the Sixers to the 5th pick while the Pelicans keep theirs.
