We are the 8th worst team per the regular season, with a terrible coach dragging us down. That should not give us yet another top-3 pick, in principle. If we get to the final eight, even in a flawed format, that still does not put us "really" in 29th to 31st place.Why not? This cute little summer tournament has really nothing to do with the past season. Heck, even taking the standings to determine the teams is ridiculous. They're not starting before July, which is 3 months off, that's as long as a normal off season.
We sucked all year, the outcome of this silly tournament is irrelevant to whether or not we should be in the lotto. We absolutely should.
Now, if we lose to Pittsburgh, we will have some chance to get a top-3 pick, but not a big chance, and that is fine.
